A trailer for the blockbuster “The Flash” not only shows Ezra Miller in the leading role. Some iconic DC characters return in the clip.
The Flash, out June 15, 2023, is DC Studios’ first solo film about the character of the same name. Non-binary Hollywood star Ezra Miller (30) takes on the leading role in the superhero flick. At the Super Bowl it was now a first trailer released, in which a double “The Flash” almost recedes into the background. Because Michael Keaton (71) and Ben Affleck (50) return as two different versions of Batman.
Affleck has appeared in the Bruce Wayne role in Batman V Superman, Man of Steel, and Justice League, among others. Keaton embodied her in Tim Burton’s (64) “Batman” and “Batman Returns”. The fact that the different versions can be seen in one film is made possible by the fact that Barry aka “The Flash” travels through time. In the DC Multiverse spectacle he wants to save his family. The trailer also features villain General Zod (Michael Shannon, 48) and Sasha Calle (27) as the new Supergirl.
The cast of the film by director Andy Muschietti (49) also includes Ron Livingston (55, “Loudermilk,” “The Conjuring”), Maribel Verdú (52, “Elite,” “Y tu mamá también”), Kiersey Clemons (29 , “Zack Snyder’s Justice League,” “Sweetheart”) and Antje Traue (42, “King of Ravens,” “Man of Steel”).
Ezra Miller controversies
Ezra Miller has made headlines in recent months. Last May, the “The Flash” actor allegedly broke into his neighbor’s house and stole alcohol. The star was fined $500 in January. A one-year suspended sentence was also imposed. However, this incident is just one of the many controversies surrounding Miller. The 30-year-old has already been arrested for harassment, assault and disorderly conduct. A US family also accused the star of kidnapping and manipulating an underage girl.
On August 15, 2022, Variety released a statement in which Ezra Miller apologized for all wrongdoing. Despite all of Miller’s criticisms, DC stuck by the production and the star. An insider told The Wrap that the film has done well in test screenings so far.
