From what I've read, this wasn't even mentioned at Comic Con this weekend.

Probably not a good sign.

Only the upcoming 2022 movies had panels. Shazam and Black Adam. They didn't talk about any 2023 release, even Aquaman.

I’m surprised that we saw a little bit of Flash in the Shazam trailer.

Yeah, that's what I noticed as well.(while not referencing Superman) They'll promote the movie and just ride out the storm, the actor won't be in anything after that...so, it's just about recouping costs and getting what you can out of the supporting cast going forward.

But made an effort to not show Miller’s face, whereas Jason Momoa was front and center.

The Flash is not being cancelled


The Flash” movie starring Ezra Miller is still a go, despite the actor’s numerous scandals this year.

“We have seen ‘The Flash,’ ‘Black Adam’ and ‘Shazam 2,'” said Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav during the company’s Q2 earnings call on Thursday. “We are very excited about them. We’ve seen them. We think they are terrific, and we think we can make them even better.”

They are hoping he pulls a Ledger, before this ever comes out.

Business Insider has a long investigative piece about Miller today, with allegations of grooming, rage, running a cult, and details of the past few years including their time in Iceland and Hawaii:

Nah, they're hoping he pulls a Deshaun Watson and that this blows over before then.

Paywall blocked me from Insider, but the gist of it is elsewhere for those likewise affected. Good lord . . .
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/...191838689.html

During the two months Miller spent in Iceland, rumors spread among locals that the actor was running a cult out of an AirBnB. Permanent residents described him as an aggressive person with a revolting smell who rarely changed out of their clothes. Three people recalled Miller walking barefoot through Reykjavík, noting long, unclipped toenails and what may have been an infected gash on their foot..
I know some folks here have said Average Joe Public won't know about Miller's antics and will see THE FLASH because they want to see THE FLASH, etc., but I just can't see this kind of coverage not getting more pervasive outside of entertainment 'news' circles. Even these new reports seem like they're only scratching a little deeper on the surface . . . so far.

Especially if it continues - once The Flash release is imminent, expect non-stop coverage. The entertainment media loves a train wreck.

Sorry about that. It looks like my ad-blocker (Pi-hole) is neutering the paywall and giving me full access to the article, and I didn't realize it.

The hits just keep on coming


Although this appears to be an incident from earlier this year and he was just charged.


Miller is probably never going to work again.

All reports indicate Discovery will proceed with the Flash movie and Ezra will then be done with the character. Puts a huge hole in WB's plans since Flash was supposed to be the glue which held together their upcoming DC projects.

I'm out. I'm not patronizing a film starring a criminal. I've never been big on boycotting films because I realize that hundreds of people work on a movie - but Warners has been so unresponsive regarding Miller's horrendous conduct that the only way I'm seeing this now is if they do a full reshoot (which, of course, they won't).

I think it's pretty embarrassing that the studio is working so hard to try to sweep Miller's conduct under the rug and keep quiet. But, James Gunn gets fired for tweets he made many years earlier when he wasn't even a Disney employee.

It's obvious that WB doesn't have the balls to cancel this movie or spend money to rework it without Miller. How do you even promote this movie next year? Have Keaton and Muschietti do all the talking at junkets?

At this rate it looks like Miller might just human traffick us all into the theater.

I mean, is it a real possibility that you just deepfake someone elses face on this and call it a day? Maybe Timothee Chalamet?

Holy shit. Felony Burglarly is a pretty serious charge.

Has Miller actually been found guilty of anything yet? Pretty sure he's presumed innocent and all that until then.
