The Flash Movie in Total Uncertainty as Ezra Miller Controversy Forces it To Skip Comic-Con

Featured Video

Ezra Miller’s position in the 2023 movie The Flash is still a mystery for DC fans. Among  the major concerns here is how Warner Bros. plans to sell his movie if the star isn’t replaced. Although June 2023 is still more than a year ahead, the actor’s legal issues and the ensuing scandals have only grown. Furthermore, The Flash is a very special movie as it explores the  DC Multiverse with Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton’s Batman, Sasha Calle’s Supergirl, and even Michael Shannon’s Zod from Man of Steel. Now, amid  all the Ezra Miller charges, the film has opted out of Comic Con. Here are the details:

Ezra Miller was recently detained in Hawaii on charges of disorderly conduct and violence. He was the subject of a restraining order request from another couple on the same island after he threatened to murder them and looted their home. An insider also claimed that Miller frequently lost his cool while filming The Flash last year. Furthermore, a viral video of the star choking a fan in Iceland surfaced in April 2020. The actor got into a playful altercation with a female fan, and as payback he grabbed her by the throat and slammed her into a waiting aisle truck. Additionally, earlier this year, Miller mocked the North Carolina chapter of the Ku Klux Klan in a violent Instagram post.  He warned the group’s members that if they didn’t murder themselves with their own weapons, he would.

The Hollywood Reporter has now claimed that Warner Bros’ theatrical division’s arrangements for this year’s San Diego Comic-Con are still up in the air and being reviewed from within. DC’s League of Super-Pets, Black Adam, and Shazam! Fury of the Gods are just a few of the movies WB has in store for audiences this year. However, t he Flash and Blue Beetle, two 2023 DC films, supposedly won’t have any panels in the Comic Con because they are seen as “too far out” to make a “meaningful” impact. Obviously, the Flash’s lack of a panel may very well be related to all the disturbing scandals regarding its protagonist, Ezra Miller.

David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, is also making big adjustments to the promotional strategies in Comic-Con. Warner Bros., including DC, will supposedly forgo hosting a panel on the convention floor. Sure, the makers previously displayed movie and television costumes along with guest stars from Justice League and Watchmen showing up for personal appearances. However, it has now been revealed that because of the broadcast network’s potential sale, none of The CW’s programmes, including The Flash, Superman & Lois, and the planned Supernatural prequel, will go forward as planned.
