Warner Bros. has an Ezra Miller problem. The actor has finished filming the long-awaited ‘The Flash’ film, which was directed by Andy Muschietti (It) and features both Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck reprising their roles as Batman. Sporting a hefty $200 million budget, The Flash was set for a theatrical release and was meant to re-launch a DCEU interconnected universe. But those plans are in jeopardy thanks to Miller’s increasingly erratic behavior and allegations of kidnapping and grooming minors.
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav has yet to make any decisions regarding the release of The Flash and Miller’s own implosion. The studio is still a year out from the film’s release date of June 23, 2023, and decisions need to be made. Rumor has it that WBD has dropped Miller from future DCEU films, but they still have to contend with The Flash. It’s highly unlikely that the studio will re-shoot the film with a new actor, given its already overblown budget.
