Ever since the video of Ezra Miller assaulting a female fan surfaced on the internet, there has been chaos in DCEU. The incident that took place in April 2020 is still a burning topic among fans. They were quite vocal about their opinion on the actor, and raised their issue regarding the casting of Ezra Miller in The Flash solo movie. But what was not expected is DCEU ignoring fans’ appeals and continuing to work with Miller.
The movie is set to release and fans have once again taken it to twitter to express their frustration due to lack of action by DC Studios.
The Shocking Incident Involving Ezra Miller: What Really Happened in Reykjavik?
Back in 2020, the DCEU community was in for a shock when an incident involving actor Ezra Miller made headlines. On April 6, a video went viral that showed Miller choking a female fan before dragging her to the ground in a bar in Reykjavik, Iceland. The altercation had actually taken place on April 1st, but the video was filmed by a bystander and started circulating in the media a few days later.
The video shows a young woman approaching Miller, who uses they/them pronouns, as she’s dancing towards them, and Miller can be heard saying,
“Oh, you wanna fight? That’s what you wanna do?”

The actor was seen grabbing the fan by the throat. The video cuts out as the woman is thrown to the ground and bystanders can be heard trying to defuse the situation.
Ezra Miller was a beloved figure in the DCEU community, having played the Flash in the DCEU films and appearing as Credence Barebone in the Fantastic Beasts franchise. Fans were initially in disbelief and thought the video might be a joke, but it was later confirmed as genuine by Variety. The incident took place in a bar that Miller frequented when they visited the Icelandic capital, and the bar’s owner added that the actor had to be escorted out afterwards.
DCEU Community Reacts to the Casting of Ezra Miller in The Flash
Fans of the DCEU were quick to react to the news and many were left feeling shocked and upset. Some even called for Miller to be removed from the upcoming The Flash movie. Despite the outcry from fans, the DCEU did not take any action against the actor, and have continued with the film, which is set to release this year.
Miller’s continued involvement in the film has left many fans feeling unheard and disheartened, and the situation has created a rift in the DCEU community.
it's so insane to me that the flash movie is still coming out when ezra miller has several charges against them and yet we still have people talking about how traumatised they were with will smith at the oscars…hollywood is so backwards

Many took to social media to express their disappointment about the lack of action, with some even declaring that even if they want to watch the movie due to other cast members, they will pirate the movie rather than line Miller’s pockets.

The reaction from the DCEU community and fans reflects a growing sense of disappointment and disillusionment with Miller’s behavior. While some have expressed concern for the young woman involved in the altercation, others are more focused on the impact that the incident may have on Ezra Miller’s career and the future of the Flash film.
It remains to be seen how things will play out in the future, but for now, the incident from 2020 is still a source of frustration for many fans.
The Flash is set to release on June 16, 2023.
