Ezra Miller’s rise as a DC superhero and their subsequent fall from grace in their personal life is a film script waiting to be written. The talented star who was cast as The Flash in the DCU will finally have their standalone film released in the theaters on June 16th. Their success though was marred by personal troubles when the actor was charged and arrested for multiple felonies including drug possession, assault, and larceny.
With rumors about their future as The Flash in the DCEU yet to be officially commented upon, a deep dive into Miller’s early adolescent years and their unconventional influences and beliefs throw light and offer some intriguing explanations about the star’s current psychological behavior.
Ezra Miller Dropped Out Of School Following A Dream
Ezra Miller was always different from children of their age even as a child. The actor in a candid interview spoke of the time when they were prompted to drop out of school owing to a dream involving famous classical composer Ludwig Van Beethoven. Miller narrating the incident, explained,
“He was crying, and he said, ‘The four symphonies I’ve written are no good. They’re just, like, not enough.’ And I was like, ‘You write five more! Keep going!’ And I woke up in a cold sweat and I was like, ‘I need to drop out of school.”
Miller’s take from the dream was that irrational and impulsive decisions can sometimes lead to success and great achievement. Acting on this decision and quitting their studies subsequently came back to haunt Miller when this same irrationality caused them to be arrested for possession of drugs during the filming of The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
Will Ezra Miller’s Follies Affect Their DCU Career?
2022 was a tumultuous year for The Flash star Ezra Miller. While their career was taking off on one side, the star went off the deep end on the personal front by getting arrested for multiple misdemeanors including violence, assault, drug possession, and burglary. With all of these disturbing incidents taking place one after another in the same year, Miller’s behavior raised concerns among fans and well-wishers and also made James Gunn and the DCU take note of the happenings in The Flash star’s life.
Despite Ezra Miller’s public apology and promise to rehabilitate themselves, netizens have been scathing in their criticism of the star’s pattern of behavior and have demanded their ousting from the DCU completely. While no official comment from the DC camp has been made so far, James Gunn’s professional partner and DC CEO Peter Safran stated that while the franchise was in constant talks with Miller about their rehabilitation and recovery, decisions about their future with the DCU will be discussed when the time was right.
