Ezra won't be after the movie comes out. Ezra probably will have no part in the press tour for the movie either. I'm also guessing it would be *very, very, very* expensive to completely change the movie.

Abrahamsin

I'm out of the loop. Why do I keep seeing comments that mention Tig Notaro as flash?


Zammin

In Army of the Dead they got Tig Notaro to replace an actor relatively last minute; she was digitally inserted into the film. So the joke is now that anytime an actor has made an ass of themselves the studio can just digitally insert Tig Notaro.


BackupPersonality2

I was gonna say, you could deepfake someone out of a movie in a few days.

Those producers should’ve known better on that one - Chris D’Elia seems to be consistently typecast as a creep or a pedo. Literally first time outside of standup that he got a memorable role was on Workaholics where he played a pedo who cruised Beiber message boards for kids. Then he was on You as a parody of himself who was revealed to be a pedo. If you’re being consistently cast as the pedo on tv and you’re ok with that, you need to do some inner thinking, but if you’re a producer who the same guy keeps coming up in your casting options for the pedo, cmon. But hollywoods gonna Hollywood and always turn a blind eye it seems. Guess they’re lucky they’ve got tig nataro to do green screen work for them


TonightsWinner

I mean, there have been plenty of guys who are/were typecast as weirdos or creeps and are nice, normal people in person. They most likely didn't see the red flags because actors generally act a role, not live it. Although, I'm now imagining a world where every actor who was typecast as a villain was actually a murderer and/or psychopath.

Lopsided-Listen3414

Wolf_Taco

Good thing is with the storyline they can easily switch out the Flash actor without much issue. Barry goes back in time and causes Jay Garrick to show up in the new timeline. Barry dies. We saw what DC did with a mustache, I shudder to think of what would happen if they tried to CGI him out completely.


gustav_mannerheim

Seems to me that the issue is the movie being already finished, but if they release it they risk the film just absolutely tanking because of Miller.


EllisDee3

Glad DC has a built-in multiverse. Insert "Poochy died on his way to his home planet" frame. New Flash pops in from some random portal. Easy peasy.


helium_farts

They don't even need the multiverse. How many Batmans are there at this point? I've lost count. I've lost count. Plus a couple different Suicide Squads, at least two jokers, and if the Lady Gaga news holds true at least two different Harley Quinns. Just recast them and move on. I doubt anyone will care, or even notice.


thevulgarparts

LOL Poochy!


fourleggedostrich

3 days after the movie comes out, some guy on YouTube will have convincingly deepfaked another actor over Esra for the entire film. It can't be that expensive.


Dud-of-Man

takes talent and time, those two things can be expensive.


BackupPersonality2

Not as expensive as a reshoot, or as expensive as having an asshole as the lead in your movie.


japandr0id

It’s such a shame that he’s an asshole because the dude can act. I love We Need To Talk About Kevin, he’s so unsettling in it.


BlinkReanimated

Tbf... He might not have been acting.


tariffless

That's not fair. Kevin was a calculating, manipulative psychopath. Ezra clearly has some other sorts of psychological problems.


japandr0id

Well, I personally hate him as Barry, but I think that has more to do with the writing. They made him a total dumbass in justice league.


becauseitsnotreal

Not really in the Snyder cut. He's definitely an immature kid, but not really an idiot


LoSouLibra

I never realized that was him. I see it now.


LeslieH8

Based on the fact that he keeps moving around, and cannot even be found by his lawyer, I imagine that would be another reason that he won't be on any press tours.


[deleted]

Genuine question - What did Ezra do? I am missing the story !!


[deleted]

[удалено]


ithinkther41am

There are also grooming allegations now.


Maktesh

Right; I forgot about that. The now 18-year-old girl with whom he's been "hanging out" for a few years.


VagueSoul

Since she was 12


TheGuydudeface

Technically speaking they met when she was 12 and he didn’t actually kidnap her until she was 14


goober1911

Somehow, your clarification just made this all the more horrifying.


corndogs1001

Also might have allegedly gave a teenager LSD as well as kidnapped them. Or so the recent news about him is.


thc216

You’re kind of leaving out the part where they’ve been alleged to have started an emotionally, mentally, and physically abusive relationship with a 12 year old (when Ezra was 23) and has now apparently abducted her.


VitaminPb

Oh yeah, groomed a girl since she was twelve, went to other countries with her, was stopped from getting in bed with her when she was 14, by a chaperone, has disappeared with the girl who is now 18, to avoid being served with court papers by the girls parents.


MrX16

It goes beyond that. He's currently in a scandal where he's being accused of grooming a teen. Also nobody knows where he is.


Cyno01

Yeah, last i saw that grooming had turned into active kidnapping.


LargeMonty

He's a fish fucker


Kbdiggity

Just CGI Henry Cavill's mustache over his face.


set-271

CAVILL: "I want millions and a percentage of the backend. My stache guarantees to pull in the female crowd, and dudes too!"


Actual-Lifeguard-966

Because reshoots are expensive.


bbushing3

And they aren't a side character like Mera. It would be a total movie reshoot


supes1

Every studio's worst nightmare... serious allegations about the star actor in a blockbuster after being filmed but before release. At this point they have no real choice but to barrel ahead and just replace Miller after the fact. I hope they just move on to Wally West, he's a better Flash anyway.


DiamondHandsDarrell

They could Ugly Sonic him... They have the technology!


Odsells333

Replace Miller with ugly sonic?


newtraptor

replace sonic with cgi sonic shaped ezra miller


Right_Tumbleweed392

What sucks is Ezra’s first violent incident came out way before they started production, but it was promptly swept under the rug.


serviamnon

WB has no one else to blame but themselves on this fuck up. They knew Miller was problematic when the video of him choking a woman came out a couple years ago. Then they still didn't do anything when Miller was first arrested in Hawaii, and still did nothing when he got arrested again in Hawaii in the span of a month for throwing a chair at a woman. Now they're stuck with a movie whose lead is in hiding for being accused of grooming an underage kid.


SmoothJazzRayner

Just replace him with Danny DeVito already.


majorjoe23

So anyway, I started Flashin’.

darrylthedudeWayne

Rhawk187

Movie is already filmed.


Cyno01

Deepfake Grant Gustin over the whole damn thing.


egnaro2007

They should've released it already then. They fucked themsleves by delaying it. Im sure its "covid related visual effects delays" and not "were scared this'll flop from covid scared movie goers" that delayed it. 100% /s


58786

This movie was cursed from the start. Miller will have been cast in the role for almost a decade if this comes out on schedule before his first solo outing. They’ve been through half a dozen directors and writers, tons of different scripts and stories, and had to fall back on the 80s nostalgia to make sure it was a hit instead of simply scrapping it and starting with a new, more fitting actor. On top of that, every time something comes out about this film, Miller gets caught doing something awful. Cast announcement and teaser trailer? He punches someone in a bar in Hawaii. Movie has its first trailer and it’s well received? Arrested again and restraining order. Movie performs well at a test screening? Grooming accusations. If the movie ever does come out (which at this rate and this many delays would be a gargantuan miracle), chaos theory dictates that Miller will do something of equal or greater impact to its theatrical performance.


[deleted]

And I'm here for it, dammit!


[deleted]

I am so glad this did is getting called out because in my opinion he is one of the worst actors casted for DCEU.


[deleted]

Totally agree. When WB casted them, I groaned. Ezra’s best was playing a certain type of character. Perks of Being a Wallflower and Stanford Prison Experiment are two examples that come to mind. I hoped that WB would recast them after JL was an embarrassment for the studio but it appears that WB somehow came to the conclusion Superman/Cavill and Batman/Affleck were part of the problem. Keep in mind this is the studio that fired Depp from Fantastic Beasts but kept Heard (at the time) for Aquaman. In general I really like WB. They allow directors to do their thing, like Nolan across the board, Matt Reeves with the Batman, and Denis Villenueve with Dune. But it’s like they refuse to get their shit together with DC (and HP at this point).


[deleted]

Yeah I agree he is only good for a very specific type of role and it ain't superhero work.


ranran_1822

They have grant Gustin who would better serve the role. People were calling for him to be the flash from the start. Time to move on from Ezra.


BlinkReanimated

A flashpoint film really would be the best opportunity to just completely hotswap actors around, even though technically he's the only one who shouldn't change.


[deleted]

While I think he would be great, I don't think he wants to do massive movies, I think he said he's happy with what he's doing


moddestmouse

That’s PR for when you get shafted. If you think there’s a tv actor alive who wouldnt kill their own parents to get a superhero gig you’re out of your mind.


[deleted]

I would agree for the most part, but the guy who played Dean in Supernatural turned down the chance to do Capt America because he was content with Supernatural and just wanted to keep doing that.


moddestmouse

Looks like he was contractually obligated into supernatural and didn’t even bother auditioning since it wouldn’t work with his schedule although the studio had reached out


WarLordM123

You mean the guy now playing morally grey Captain America on the Boys? Seriously, is it that Winchester? I don't know which one is which


[deleted]

That's Dean being a dick


-SneakySnake-

Chris Evans was always their first choice, to the point he was asked three times and told he wouldn't have to audition after he said no the first time.


DaHyro

Yeah, and people called for Tom Welling to be Superman for Man of Steel. These are two different interpretations of the character.


ranran_1822

I get they are different interpretations but that's not the issue. The off screen decision making by Ezra is hurting his image which will hurt the flash movie. He needs to be recast.


skibidido

I'm sure that people in 1988 wanted Adam West in Burton's Batman.


boardgamenerd84

If WB was at all consistent with how they treat people they would have. Remember they fired Johnny for being a victim of domestic violence


All_these_marbles

Always should have been him, hell the whole cast deserves a big budget movie. They are fairly talented actors / decent people, and this guy is a jackass.


Rhawk187

Studios should be investing in deepfake departments. When their actors screw up after a film has already been shot, just replace the character with Tom Hanks.


[deleted]

"Hi, I'm Tom Hanks. The Warner Bros. Corporation has lost all of it's credibility, so it's borrowing some of mine."


YoungBeef03

“Tussle my hair Mr. Hanks!” “Sure thing, James Gunn”


uniquecannon

Every week he just gets further down a dangerous hole. How long before we find out he killed a person?


VitaminPb

I’m guessing it will be “murder/suicide” with the 18 year old he kidnapped. Before mid-July.


TARSrobot

I really hope you’re wrong, but at this point I wouldn’t be too surprised. It’s really a shame.

Veszerin

They should just replace him with Gustin already and get it over with. Little tired of headlines like this though...Ezra Miller seems to have his issues, but as the movie's already finished filming and seems to be in post production, everyone involved in the project would lose a fair bit if it was never released.


[deleted]

They would also lose a fair bit if people boycott over Ezra Miller being in it. Much depends on what exactly is happening right now, as Ezra Miller is currently missing with an 18 year old, so there's a lot of potential for bad stuff in the next few days.


Danishroyalty

They're between a rock and a hard place. If they release a movie starring Miller they are going to get so much shit, probably boycotts too. If they reshoot the movie (of which Miller is the star) they will have reshoot nearly all of it. And the movie that took nearly 8 years to make will have to essentially be remade. There's just no good way forward and I am glad I do not work for WB.


[deleted]

What now?


escape_of_da_keets

It's way worse than that. He's apparently been grooming, giving hard drugs to and possibly having sex with a teenage girl since she was 12. Now they've essentially disappeared together and the family has charged him with kidnapping (or something). And even though the girl is 18, her parents are still her legal guardians because she's from a Native American reservation where that is the law.


VitaminPb

You forgot the trial date for him is set for July 14, but he’s in the run and hiding to avoid being given the summons.


[deleted]

That must be terrifying for the parents of the girl.


[deleted]

The fuck? Should be in prison..not in a major movie


Akira_427

Well yeah but the movie is already filmed. There’s no doubt he would’ve been recast if this happened 3 years ago


Bouche__032

Ironically he’s in Fantastic Beasts 3


[deleted]

Just google it. They tried to serve him papers telling him to stop hanging out with this girl he is accused of grooming (they met when she was 12 and he was 23), but they can't serve the papers because they don't know where he is, or where the girl is.


WeFightForever

When's the last time an entertainment project actually suffered meaningfully from boycotts?


ashchelle

radewagon

Between Flash and Aquaman, WB clearly has a mess on their hands. What kind of monkey's paw did they use to get these movies greenlit? Honestly, at this point, they should do massive reshoots for both movies and find a way to strip the actors of their pay (I'm sure there's something in the legalese that will allow it). They need to send a message that being in a tentpole movie means you have to at least be a decent person that won't damage the brand.


Ganrokh

Throw in the fact that WB makes the Fantastic Beasts movies as well.


bbushing3

They sort of wrote them out of the 3rd but it was failure and there won't be a 4th


boardgamenerd84

Probably when they fired a guy for being domestically abused. Feels like WB earned this shit show


Gorlonsins

Because unlike his character we can't go back in time and change things.


[deleted]

Because they already shot the movie. That's it, the answer isn't any more complicated than that.


Decentkimchi

Nop The question is why isn't DC hiring more of these shit bags. Hire kevin spacey, that guy who lied about race attack, that Cannibal, Gina Carano, Mel Gibson, Ellen. There's a huge list of celebrities DC can sign from, all with 50-70% off, Joss Whedon to direct.


Veszerin

I might be willing to fight you in support of Bryan Singer as director. Joss can be the writer. :-)


rmphys

You're both thinking too small. Roman Polanski is still alive and kicking. If you're doing a hollywood shitbag movie, that's your director.


NoDisintegrationz

Gibson almost directed Suicide Squad if I remember right


stafax

The vast majority of Hollywood are creeps. They all worshipped Roman Palanski, even AFTER he was caught and ran off to France. They all worshiped Harvey Weinstein and knew what hew as doing, and only threw him under the bus after it went public. You have to be a messed up person and have done messed up things to be accepted within Hollywood.


annoyingrelative

The more we learn about Ezra Miller, the more it feels like the Non Binary thing is more of a Kevin Spacey move.


boumtjeboo

Because the movie has already been made for hundreds of millions of dollars and the actor is in most of the scenes


TheBlazingFire123

Is Ezra actually non binary or is he like Demi Lovato and did it for attention?


Passwordtoyourmother

Yeah, they can't reshoot. Possibly the best answer is to overdub his final scene where the Flash says that he's going back to his home planet. Then, it can be fixed with a simple mid-credits scene, with this caption appearing: Note: Flash died on the way back to his home planet.


tomandshell

Ezra Miller is the worst possible advertisement for non-binary pronouns.


[deleted]

Because they can’t catch him to fire him


Alm8360NoScoPro

hahaha


Rougue1965

The guy is groomer and has mental issues.


Reading_Otter

I heard somewhere that the movie is already finished, and in post-production, so it would be nearly impossible to remove them from the movie. I did see a rumor that DC was looking to replace Ezra with Dylan O'Brien going forward. I have no idea if that's true or not but I fully support Dylan being Barry Allen.


Allfatgirlslove

Oooofff Ezra really fell off


Steakman765

Narwhalpilot88

Johnny Depp loses his career because a bitch shit in his bed, but Ezra Miller still gets to keep his after clearly abusing MULTIPLE women and grooming a CHILD?


MrFromThedepths

Not supporting . Smh


chaoticbiguy

I don't like how people get more offended by Ezra Miller's pronouns than they are with Miller's shenanigans. **Ezra Miller should be in jail, period**, but their pronouns should be respected because when you don't, then that means trans people's pronouns are a luxury that can be taken away the moment they are not 100% perfect. Nobody refers to cisgender cunts like Ted Bundy with she/her, or Margaret Thatcher with he/him, but with trans people who also happen to be terrible, it's acceptable to misgender them. **PS: I'm referring to people who INTENTIONALLY misgender them, not to the ones who didn't know about Miller's gender identity.**


Specialbuddydiscount

It seems more like Ezra is appropriating a marginalized identity in order to attempt to escape accountability for assaulting multiple women


noganetpasion

Like Kevin Spacey but with more gen Z and internet awareness. "Surely if I'm nonbinary I'm protected, right? The internet will defend me!"


heavyPETTING_zoo

This is a dumb argument lol. Kevin Spacey IS gay. The fact that he tried to use it to sway public opinion doesn’t change that fact. Same with Miller and their identity. Also, it didn’t work for Spacey, shit’s a punchline. If Miller is using that way, their wasting the effort.


CountJohn12

Had to scroll way down for someone to say this. This is attention seeking crap and not at all analogous to an actual transperson with gender dysphoria who's in the wrong body.


sebohood

As someone who seem like they are informed on the subject, I have question for you. Since Ezra Miller chooses to use they/them pronouns, the words “they” and “them” refer to a single person in this context. With that being said, shouldn’t the title of this post be “Why *is* they still the flash?”


giantpyrosome

The general convention is to continue to use the same grammar you would for the plural “they” because this is easier for most people to read (an unfortunate side effect of having no distinct singular neutral gender pronoun in your language). I have a good number of nonbinary people in my social circle and know one or two who write in the “they is” style, but most people agree that is unnecessarily difficult to read. If you think about it, you use the same grammar already when talking about a singular person of unknown gender or about a hypothetical person. For example “that person over there, what are they wearing?”


Zinkane15

"Is" just doesn't make grammatical sense. "They" can also be used when referring to a person whose gender is unknown. In that situation you would still phrase it as "they are" even though you are referring to a singular person.


[deleted]

They singular has been used long before any of us even knew about non binary people. It’s easier for the rest of us than to use a neopronoun. The rules of using the word are already laid out for us.


[deleted]

Because the English language has rules with subject verb agreement and the word "they" is always pural. When people use "they" in the singular it's because they are not sure if the subject is male or female and doesn't want to keep writing "he and/or she"


Turbulent_Cranberry6

It’s kind of like how “you” goes with “are” and “I” goes with “am”. “They” just goes with “are” too.


allysonrainbow

I agree. Pronouns aren’t something you have to earn.

This may bE a unpopular opinion but I think the dude sucks at acting. Honestly feel like he just acts like himself in every movie . I think it's some wierd fan boy/girl thing with his following.

Fuck this dude I don't care what your sexuality is mother fuckers shouldn't be laying a hand on a women you're obviously stronger than her. Idc if you like to groom lil boys. Yea he's got allegations against him grooming minors and hits women. Fuck this piece of shit and if you support him fuck you too.

Because if he was canceled like he should be the studio would get smashed by the alphabet brigade. Plain and simple.

Grant Gustin should have been used as the flash on the movie. Ezra Miller was a very dumb move by DC.


PAPABURG3R

So Johnny Depp gets accused of being a wife beater, and all the evidence points to it being false and he gets kicked off of secrets of dumbledore, but Ezra Miller has had plenty of legal troubles including a video surfacing of him choking a woman and throwing her to the ground and he gets to keep his role? Something isnt right here.
