Grant Gustin Says He Supports Ezra Miller as The Film Flash
When it was announced that Ezra Miller would be taking over the mantle of Barry Allen in the DC film universe, more than a few feathers were ruffled that TV's Barry Allen, Grant Gustin, was getting the snub. Being a part of that bunch, I wouldn't have blamed Gustin for feeling a bit angry he was being replaced when he has done a phenomenal job as leading man in The Flash on CW. After about a year of silence on the issue, Gustin took to Twitter after a couple misinterpreted actions on his part:
Hey, Twitter. Stop putting words in my mouth. Hate that I felt the need to do this, but read this if you please. pic.twitter.com/uVeoGGYRez
— Grant Gustin (@grantgust) January 22, 2016Glad to see Gustin is okay with it, and I can see both sides of the issue. The film universe is not connected to the events of the TV series, and it would only confuse and alienate people to try and merge them now. On the other hand, I think Gustin is not just a "TV actor" and if, somewhere down the line, I see Stephen Amell appear in the films as Green Arrow, I'll probably take issue again. For now, as long as Grant's happy, I'm happy.
