The making of ‘The Flash’ was a torrid affair. Many would agree that Ezra Miller‘s alarming behavior further tainted it for the last few years. But DC Studios won’t be replacing the actor for any projects involving the Scarlet Speedster. Instead of condemning the 30-year-old actor’s behavior, the studio is “completely committed to their recovery” and “fully supportive of that journey that they’re on right now.”

‘The Flash’ director Andy Muschietti has confirmed that the controversial actor is and will be Barry Allen/Flash for the rest of the DCU projects. Muschietti, who previously gave the Nicolas Cage cameo away, addressed Ezra Miller’s future in the franchise. He’s impressed with them, calling Miller’s ‘The Flash’ his favorite version of the character.

Andy Muschietti Calls Ezra Miller’s The Flash Irreplaceable

Andy Muschietti is keeping the art and the artist apart. ‘The Flash’ director refuses to replace Ezra Miller as the Scarlet Speedster despite various petitions to remove them. In a conversation with the podcast ‘The Discourse,’ he talked about the 28-year-old actor’s phenomenal on-set professionalism. Muschietti believes Ezra Miller as Barry Allen/The Flash is a superior character iteration.

‘The Flash’ director told the hosts of ‘The Discourse’ podcast, “I don’t think there’s anyone that can play that character as well as they did. The other depictions of the character are great, but this particular vision of the character, they just excelled in doing it. And, as you said, the two Barrys — it feels like a character that was made for them.”

Michael Shanon spoke of the 30-year-old actor, “It’s difficult to talk about, but I always give people a lot of slack in this business because there’s a lot of people in this business that have issues.
