Ezra Miller may continue as 'The Flash' in the new DC Universe
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: It's a new dawn, it's also a new year, and it seems that Warner Bros and DC executives have new plans. After discarding Henry Cavill's 'Superman,' Dwayne Johnson's 'Black Adam' and most recently Gal Gadot's 'Wonder Woman,' WB still has some future plans for Ezra Miller's 'The Flash.' Ezra Miller could continue to play the role of The Flash in James Gunn's new DC universe after his solo film. Although 'The Flash' movie was announced back in October 2014, it took almost a decade for it to hit theaters.
However, after a very troublesome year Miller had in 2022, most DCEU fans thought his days of representing 'The Flash' are over. Last summer, there were reports suggesting that Warner Bros was officially done with the actor no matter what happened between now and the 2023 launch of Miller's DCU project. However, a new report suggests that executives now see the situation a little differently.

There are sources that have told Variety that some Warner Bros. Discovery executives are still willing to work with 'The Flash' actor, Ezra Miller. According to the report, the fact that Miller has stayed out of trouble since he began psychiatric treatment last summer has opened the door for Miller to reappear as 'The Flash' in the future.
If Warner Bros. executives are not David Zaslav, Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy, that may not be a guarantee that Miller will be able to stay. However, neither Miller, her representatives, nor anyone at Warner Bros Discovery has yet commented on the report.
Regardless, the official synopsis of the new 'Flash' film reads, "The Flash travels through time to prevent the murder of his mother, but unwittingly causes changes that result in the creation of a multiverse."
The film is directed by Andy Muschietti from a screenplay by Christina Hodson and stars Ezra Miller as Barry Allen aka 'The Flash' alongside Ron Livingston, Michael Keaton, Kiersey Clemons, Michael Shannon, Antje Traue, Sasha Calle, and Ben Affleck.
'The Flash' premieres in theaters on June 16, 2023.
