Following recent developments in the Ezra Miller fiasco, Warner Bros. plans its next steps in a complex and careful way. A few days ago, the 29-year-old actor was charged with burglary. There have also been reports made by Rolling Stone which claim that a The mother and her three children supposedly live on Miller’s farm in Vermont, and the state’s Department of Children’s Services is looking for them. It’s a situation that leaves room for growing unease among fans and the general public.

Amid these twists, Warner Bros. and new media conglomerate Warner Bros. Discovery, are said to have planned their future move for the flash, keeping in mind three potential scenarios and their likely outcome. Throwing out the entire movie is one of those potential outcomes, by the way.
The potential scenarios…

According to The Hollywood Reporter, aIt would seem that a source recently became aware of these likely scenarios. The verdict? Warner Bros. seems to be preparing for three potential outcomes. Of the three, let’s look first at the two polar extremes.
If things improve somewhat from where they are now, the actor will seek professional help once he returns to his farm in Vermont. The film could only air properly and without any interference if Ezra Miller decided to dispel the air of mistrust and disappointment by giving an interview that details the reasoning behind their erratic actions and unpredictability. Additionally, they will only be allowed to do very little strictly limited press for the film.

The next result, which is at the other extreme, is the worst-case scenario for studios. Shelving the $200 million movie is what they might have to do if things don’t improve and Miller’s actions turn for the worse. Canceling the movie would be a viable option to consider if the actor isn’t easily replaced and removed from future DCEU movies and publicity. Speaking of replacements, that brings us to our next somewhat balanced scenario.

The next scenario, as the source says, will involve studios releasing the film, even if Miller shows active resistance to seeking professional help. What would happen though, is that the actor would be banned from engaging in post-release publicity activities. They would also be retired from the role of The Flash, making way for other actors to shine as Barry Allen in a possible recast for future DC endeavors.
Warner Bros. would therefore be looking for actors to play the role of Miller. This course of action is not too unlikely, following the constant unpredictable developments seen through the charges for which Ezra Miller is responsible.
Actors who could replace Ezra Miller
These storylines have turned the cogs in fans’ minds, as many are suggesting names for a possible recast of the Flash’s role. While a common name remains Grant Gustin, who starred as Barry Allen/Flash on the CW series, flash, previously; other names have also been offered for DC’s consideration. These include actors like Teen Wolf Dylan O’Brien and The Umbrella Academy Elliot Page.
