The aggressive attitude of the actor is already illustrated for several years.
A 7-second video from April 2020 showed Ezra Miller strangling a young woman in a bar in Reykjavik, Iceland.
On March 28, 2022, the star of
The Flash
was arrested for the first time in Hawaii and then released on bail.
Since then, Ezra Miller has chained episodes of violence and disturbance of public order: insults during a karaoke, harassment of a client, the actor even entered a couple's home by threatening to burn them, indicated the Hawaiian Police Twitter account on March 29.
Warner Bros. and DC executives, who produce
The Flash
, have decided to halt any future projects involving the actor.
They also decreed that Ezra Miller would not make any public appearances for the promotion of upcoming DC films.
The superhero film, which was originally scheduled for release in November 2022, will hit theaters in June 2023. In the past, Warner Bros had already used these means of retaliation by ousting, for example, Johnny Depp from its productions, because the comedian was accused of assaulting his ex-wife.
