The Flash Star Ezra Miller Can't Outrun Past Controversies Unlike His Character
Despite amazing early reviews of the upcoming The Flash movie, a large chunk of the audience wants to never touch the film thanks to Ezra Miller's recent past.
The Flash is coming out on June 16, and the earliest reviews are covering the movie in praise and glory.
Among the people who are actively promoting and supporting The Flash are the legendary superhero movie directors like James Gunn and Zack Snyder, and even Stephen King tuned in to say his bit. Everyone loves The Flash.
However, not everyone's ready to let go of the lead actor's past, that's for sure.
Ezra Miller 's name has been the synonym of controversy for years, and we're talking about the worst kinds of controversy.
Right now, with The Flash releasing in the next few weeks, the actor's misdeeds are being actively brought back to life, and people are advocating to voluntarily boycott Miller's biggest movie ever in cinemas.
If you don't know what we're talking about, here's a quick overview of the main accusation against Ezra Miller in just the last four years:
- The awful story of 12-year-old Tokata Iron Eyes which is going on since 2016;
- Choking and throwing a woman to the ground in 2020;
- Several cases of physical assault, including women in 2022;
- Burglary and trespassing in 2022;
- Assaulting and harassing a mother and a 12-year-old child in 2022;
- Hosting a mother with three young children on a gun- and weed-littered farm in 2022.
Admittedly, the list can keep going forever, but we can only include the confirmed cases. Even then, it's very obvious what kind of person Ezra Miller is and what sort of relationships he's had with other people, including young children.
Following these and many other scandals involving the actor, many Twitter users are holding something of an improvised campaign promoting the idea of boycotting The Flash.
To support their message, they are recalling Miller's past felonies and controversies, asking other viewers to avoid donating money to the actor's movie.
Once again, the public is split regarding this issue: while some are supporting the boycott, others say they don't care about the actor's misdeeds and just want to watch a great movie.
There's also the third group that claims that all the videos and accusations are fake and that "Ezra Miller did nothing wrong," pretty much.
The Flash is a matter of heated debate long before the actual release, and this basically guarantees its commercial success regardless of the boycott.
Still, if you're supporting it, keep going — and if you're simply in for a cool movie, have a great experience.
After all, the industry's giants are impressed with it… Though less so with Ezra Miller's recent past.
