'The Flash' Director Confirms Ezra Miller Will Return for Sequel if Warner Bros. Decides to Make One

Ezra Miller is the star of Warner Brothers’ upcoming The Flash movie and they’ve been in the middle of lots of controversies over the past couple years that have made the film a tricky subject for the studio.

For some backstory: Ezra was arrested multiple times in Hawaii for assault, was accused of harassing a woman in Germany, was accused of choking someone in Iceland, was accused of hosting three young children and their mom in Vermont in an “unsafe environment,” was charged with felony burglary in Vermont, and was accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a young person they met at age 12.

For a while, it was unclear if the film would ever be released because of Ezra‘s troubles, but the movie is indeed hitting theaters on June 16. And there’s a chance a sequel could even happen.

The other depictions of the character are great, but this particular vision of the character, they just excelled in doing it. And, as you said, the two Barrys – it feels like a character that was made for them.”
