Given the negative attention Ezra Miller has received with recent legal troubles, the DCEU already has the perfect way to replace the actor as Barry Allen and his alter-ego The Flash in future films, if necessary. Miller first appeared as «The Fastest Man Alive» in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and reprised the role in Suicide Squad and Justice League, but Miller will take the lead for the first time in The Flash. Variety’s senior entertainment writer Adam B. Vary reported that Warner Bros. has no intention of replacing Miller in the superhero’s first solo film, given that the movie has already completed filming. However, future films in the DCEU could recast the role if Miller continues to have issues with the law.
Troubles began in early 2020 when a shocking video of Ezra Miller appearing to choke a fan while at a bar in Iceland surfaced online. In what appeared to be a pattern of behavior, they was then arrested in March of this year while in Hilo, Hawaii. They was charged with disorderly conduct and harassment following reports of an incident at a bar, and a restraining order was filed against them when they had an alleged altercation with a couple shortly after being released on bail. Although the couple conveniently dropped the restraining order days before the release ofFantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, a third incident occurred in April when The Flash star was arrested a second time in Hawaii. They was charged with second-degree assault after they reportedly threw a chair that inadvertently resulted in the injury of a 26-year-old woman.
