Everything is mental illness in the US.
Film Ezra Miller Douche Bag

Time to deep fake someone else's face on?
That Nancy in Stranger things has the same face structure, she'll do.
Johnny Depp has that strange angled jutting jaw too, maybe a de-aged version, from the "Cry Baby" days?
WB can't do anything right... Dropped a great Superman and an absolute posterboy in Cavill and went all in on someone who apparently has severe issues. It is safe to assume that Miller has had previous similar episodes. As it became apparent during the JD-AH trial, as long as the issues are not domestic violence related, Hollywood is ready to look away in most cases but this might be getting out of hand.
I hope EM gets the help he needs but there also must be consequences for his actions.

If you read about what Miller has been doing, it definitely does sound like some kind of mental illness. It's not just someone being a prick, it's extremely weird, unusual behaviour. And also being a prick.
Finn from ST has the same face structure also. And Timothy Chalamet they all have weird aggressive jawlines.
What might Warner Bros. and DC do about this?
In recent weeks, Warner Bros. has faced growing calls to fire Miller. But the problem is the actor is the lead of the studio's upcoming tentpole The Flash, a movie that already completed filming last year. It's rumored to have significant repercussions for the future of the DC universe, and it features Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck returning as their versions of Batman, which could help make it into a $1 billion blockbuster under the right circumstances.
Replacing Miller with another actor would likely require reshooting the whole film, which would be a highly costly, almost unprecedented prospect. The movie All the Money in the World did something similar in 2017, replacing Kevin Spacey with Christopher Plummer after Spacey was accused of sexual assault, and 2021's Army of the Dead replaced original star Chris D'Elia with Tig Notaro after D'Elia was accused of sexual misconduct. But even those situations aren't directly comparable seeing as neither Spacey nor D'Elia played the main characters, meaning most of the original footage was still usable. Other options would include canceling The Flash entirely or giving it a quieter release on streaming
In April, Rolling Stone reported that Warner Bros. and DC executives decided to pause future projects involving Miller. As for The Flash, though, Variety reported in June the plan is to release it in theaters with Miller still in the lead role. But the report noted this was "barring unforeseen developments" — and that was before the grooming allegations emerged. This is just one casting headache DC has on its hands, as the studio has also faced calls to remove Amber Heard from Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom after the Johnny Depp defamation trial.
Warner Bros. still hasn't commented on the Miller situation, but as of now, The Flash is slated to hit theaters in June 2023.

They play 3 different characters in The Flash, and so are likely in the vast majority of scenes - reshooting I think would be an impossibility as would cancelling the movie. The right thing to do is to fire them and replace them but I just can't see WB execs being that morally guided.

Isn't Ezra non-binary? You all are so insensitive calling them "he", shame on you.
They will have to either cancel it or recast. Giant financial hit, but there is no alternative. What makes this situation so unique is that the guy is still, actively, doing bad things. It's not like he did something bad months ago that they can try and spin with some PR and an apology. I'm not sure what they're waiting for either. Things are likely only going to get worse.
Just feels funny that Depp was recast for Fantastic Beasts 3 but ol' Miller got to plod on making glum faces and whispering a lot.
Apparently they will not replace him for The Flash movie, but will cut ties with him going forwards.
Michael Keaton deserved better.
Michael Keaton deserved better.
This guy is an absolute basket case.
He was in Iceland couple of years back and was hanging out with my brother and his nut case friends. He was just all over the place even attacking girls and using a lot of cocaine so much so that their provider ran dry.

DC knew this years ago that he was on the edge can't say I feel sorry for them.

I read this yesterday. They’re absolutely a danger to themselves and everyone around them, and I don’t see any way it all ends well from here.
Feels like some weird scenario where they truly believe they're doing the best for them, but then using it as free license to be a cnut because you know, 'you owe me'.
This guy is just scary & seriously needs locking up & given treatment etc.
I predict The Flash will never see the light of day.

Reads like Manson

At this point, it's a question of morals if DC release the flash in its current state.
The guy needs locking up and medical help. He's going to kill somebody it he hasn't already.

He has definitely murdered someone already imo.

List of accusations to date include verbal, psychological, and physical abuse. Assault. Kidnapping. Felony burglary. And perhaps the most insidious of all, grooming young vulnerable children.

Brace yourself for WB pumping our eyes and hears with the message that Ezra is now back on the straight and narrow, and wont be grooming anymore kids... For all the shit they have done, that is one weak as feck apology. Its Kevin Spacey levels of weak as feck. Yet, for some reason Miller isn't being held to the same "youre fired and recast" standard. "Complex mental health issues" doesn't excuse grooming fecking kids! feck this guy, and feck his career.
Sounds as if he's had a severe episode and just come out of it. A little different to Spacey. One knows what they're doing, the other doesn't. Be interesting to see if the film goes ahead.
“I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed"
Weird apology. Surely he should be apologizing to everyone that he's harmed. It's like he's saying "It's ok everybody, I know you've all been worried about me but I'm on the straight and narrow now" Yeah, but what about you're victims ya fecking sociopath?

Erm, isn't every person who grooms kid mentally ill? To use mental illness as a get out clause is repugnant.
Should be behind bars but he's being kept relevant so the studio he's affiliated with can release the movie and make money.
Give it a year or two after the film comes out, he'll no longer be useful and he'll be arrested.
I'm not even a conspiracy theorist, but this stinks.

Just replace him with Grant Gustin or reshoot the whole damn thing with an older flash. I want John Wesley Shippe back as the Flash.
He's a narcissist.
It's not really the same. If Miller has been suffering from the type of mental health problems that (for example) make you see/hear things that aren't there, believe things that aren't true, do things you would never normally do etc then it's a genuine defences. The "mental illness" of someone who grooms kids and someone suffering from psychosis, schizophrenia, delusions etc obviously can't be compared
I had been waiting for the obligatory "apology" as it was clearly the only way they could continue to even try and market this movie. The timing right after the merger and major announcements of movies and shows that the new company is cancelling outright or dropping also lines up.
They probably finally sat Ezra down and either got the apology started and laid down the law legally on his contracts etc. But, hopefully there is genuine regret and want to get better because it is the only way it will work.

Yeah, I'm sure thats the type he's suffering with, anyway, should we start letting killers out who said God made them kill, or their dog? As they were clearly suffering the same problems too.
If we allow people to groom kids because the abuser says he's suffering from mental problems then that's a slippery slope, this is coming from someone with mental health issues, there should be no excuse inflicting harm and trauma on kids.
Give it a few years, when this guys usefulness dwindles he'll have a big scandal break and he'll be locked up.
Gustin has been waiting to get out of his Flash contract for quite a while. He's done playing him.
John Wesley Shipp though, that's an interesting choice.
The fact that WB shelved Batgirl but keeps going with this is a PR catastrophe
I don't think anyone has suggested that they should be allowed to groom kids. Ibi Dreams is saying that it's different, clearly not that it's acceptable, and the justice system won't find it acceptable either.
As far as I'm aware, there are two allegations against Miller, both coming from parents. The first one is an ongoing court case, but when the alleged victim is categorically denying that Miller has done anything wrong it's going to be difficult no matter what happened. In the second case it's alleged that they've been pushy and offered to buy stuff to such an extent that it's considered harassment. There is a temporary restraining order against them, which is serious, but not (yet, at least) a court case.
Allegations have been taken more serious in the recent years, but Hollywood will always firstly protect its bottom line. For Warner Bros it's a calculation of how much they'd lose by cancelling The Flash vs how much Miller will cost in reputational damage. I can't imagine they'll ever find work as an actor again after this project.
Serious? He’s a cnut so as if it matters that much.
