Ezra Miller’s Flash Future is a Blur

Ezra Miller’s time as the scarlet speedster could be up after a recent arrest in Hawaii. The Hawai’i County Police Department, South Hilo officers, responded to a disorderly bar patron (Miller) report on Sunday (3/27/22) evening at 11:30 p.m. The police determined that the agitator (Miller) had become unruly while other patrons sang karaoke and had begun “yelling obscenities.” The actor then “grabbed the microphone from a 23-year-old woman singing karaoke and later lunged at a 32-year-old man playing darts.”

After Miller was released on bail, the alleged victims filed a protective order against Miller. The couple put in their filing that Ezra Miller threatened to kill them. According to the court document, Miller allegedly “burst” into the couple’s bedroom, saying, “I will bury you and your slut wife.” A judge granted a temporary restraining order and is considering an extension.

Miller’s actions have caused quite a stir on the internet and apparently with the executives at WB/DC. The executives held an emergency meeting to discuss these recent incidents and have decided to “pause” all future projects with the actor/activist. This pause includes Miller’s role as The Flash in the DCEU. Despite online rumors, Miller is not being replaced by Grant Gustin, who plays character on The CW.
