The star has a couple of big projects lined up in the near future. Let’s take a closer look at them.
Ezra Miller as The Flash
Miller has played the role of the Flash in three DC films. They now lead the solo movie, The Flash, which hits the screens next year. This is an important project, not only for Miller but also for DC.

However, following the arrest, there have been calls for recasting The Flash. Although, nothing definitive has happened yet.

Bad press with regard to one of their lead actors just before the release of a major movie is not good news for Warner Bros.
