they could’ve made them come back to set to film like a new ending explaining why he (barry) won’t be coming back
since they probably still got themin a contract
I doubt he woulda participated so peacefully if that were the case lmao
The fate of Warner Bros.’ The Flash hangs in the balance as actor Ezra Miller continues to make headlines for their controversial behavior and various arrests. An outright shelving of the film is not off the table, though it would be a last resort.
Warners — and its new parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery — had hoped to avoid the line of fire, because its big-budget DC superhero tentpole isn’t scheduled to hit theaters until June 23, 2023. But the pressure is mounting by the day.
On Monday, the actor was charged with a felony burglary, and on Wednesday, Rolling Stone reported that Vermont’s child services department is attempting to locate a mother and three children who have allegedly been residing at Miller’s farm in the state.
A source with knowledge of the situation says the studio appears to be preparing for three possible scenarios.
First, Warners has received indications that the 29-year-old Miller, whose mother has accompanied the actor in recent days, will seek professional help after returning home to their farm in Vermont after being away. If that help happens, Miller, who goes by they/them pronouns, could give an interview at some point explaining their erratic behavior over the past few years. The actor could then do limited press for The Flash, and the movie would open in cinemas as planned.
The second scenario: Even if Miller doesn’t reach out for help, Warners could still release the film. But don’t expect Miller to play a prominent role in terms of marketing and publicity. Nor would Miller be The Flash going forward, as the role would be recast in future projects.
The third case: Things go from bad to worse, with the situation with Miller deteriorating. This would see Warners killing the movie outright, as it could not be reshot with a different actor. Miller plays multiple characters and is in almost every scene. Scrapping a $200 million film would be an unprecedented move.
The Flash is a key film for Warners, as it is expected to chart a new course for the DC Extended Universe. The film has been testing well, even as Miller’s legal woes continue to mount.
At least one project has already distanced itself from Miller. On Tuesday, the Salvador Dali Biopic Daliland left Miller out of its press release in an announcement about its debut at the Toronto Film Festival. The actor plays a young version of the artist in the project, which stars Ben Kingsley as an older version.
They re just dumb enough to completely scrap a 200 mill movie I wouldn't put it past em
I doubt he woulda participated so peacefully if that were the case lmao
wouldnt be surprised if bruh is done with the role at this point as well considering everything he’s been doing so they can just offer them to come back for a day to end things
just shoot a new ending where instead of restarting the universe everything mostly stays the same
Poor Michael Keaton gotta be fed up with his roles getting deleted, canceled and rewritten left and right lmao
Woulda been a better snyder joker then Jared Leto lol
Ezra Miller is doing what Jared Leto thinks he’s doing
Why the f*** does Twitter want Grant Gustin to take over, when he’s been playing the character for a decade
Like let bruh rest

this is 100% what the CEO's at vought international would do to spin this into an advertising campaign

i can’t even imagine seeing grant gustin flash in a big cinematic movie on a theatre screen
i’m used to seeing him on a mid/low budget tv show for a decade now
What’s crazy (besides Ez) is this movie is probably good and WB would really just scrap it than deal with the press
now if dc wants to bring a tv hero to the big screen…
if they can’t get henry cavil back i support tyler hoechlin being a theatrical superman
Ezra bout do deliver a f***ing classic
That movie testing s*** isn’t the be all end all. This s*** could be a stinker just like WW84 and you’d hear that it’s “testing well”
Release it or don’t release it. I don’t care, their money ain’t my money.
And also, the universe this was building towards really needed a makeover. Quit trying to copy the MCU and focus on bringing Cavill and others back in the door.
You can’t really have a DCEU without the most popular heroes. This universe is gonna be carried by Aquaman and Wonder Woman (fresh off of the hot mess that was WW84)? I don’t think so.
Get the foundation right and then go from there. It’s like they were trying to match what the MCU is planning except the MCU just had a decades worth of storytelling leading up to Endgame. The DCEU hasn’t done d*** and has been stuck in the mud for years.
