Warner Bros. Reportedly Open to Keeping Ezra Miller in the Role of The Flash
After Ezra Miller went off on their crazy binge of assaulting people, kidnapping, being on the run from the police, starting a cult, and numerous other allegations, I didn’t think there was any way that Warner Bros. would want to continue to work with Miller in the future. But, maybe I was wrong!
Now, Miller did eventually meet with the WB executives and apologize for their actions and began treatment for mental health issues. Now, according to a new report from Variety, it seems that the actor could actually stay on as The Flash! The report says:
"Given that Miller has stayed out of trouble since beginning mental health treatment in the summer. Some executives are amenable to continuing with the actor as the world-saving speedster after The Flash bows on June 16."
I don’t even know what to say, but Miller caused a PR nightmare for the studio. I’m happy that Miller is getting help, but I just didn’t expect the studios would want to work with them again after the long list of things that he did. If WB actually does decide to work with Miller again, hopefully they can keep it together. Miller’s apology reads:
“Having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment. I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behavior. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.”
There’s no word on if James Gunn or Peter Safran have met with Miller, but if this report is true, I imagine they had to have talked with them and their future at DC Studios.
