Since the splitting reviews of Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice, the studio was already concerned with the direction that the DC Extended Universe was taking. Now Ezra Miller and Amber Heard are further complicating situations related to casting and continuity.
The studio has already unofficially booted Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck as Superman and Batman, after the overall failure that was Justice League in 2016. Even the Snyder Cut didn’t seem to satisfy the studio, despite its strong reception by fans and critics alike.
How Ezra Miller and Amber Heard became the villains
Even though fans weren’t too excited about Ezra Miller portraying the Flash, many have warmed up to his performance. But the actor has been mired in controversies, including a burglary charge, harassment allegations, and even a strangling incident, causing many fans to ask for him to be fired.
Amber Heard on the other hand played Mera in Aquaman in 2018. While the case of Amber Heard is far more complicated, rumors suggest she’s already been shown the door. She had accused Fantastic Beasts actor Johnny Depp of domestic violence and many more crimes since 2016.
