“The situation is risky”: Film critic estimated prospects for “The Flash” on Ezra Miller’s “cancellation”

Actor Ezra Miller now tries in vain to whitewash his tarnished reputation, while Warner Bros. decides what to do with the blockbuster movie The Flash. The management of the company is even thinking of closing the project completely. Could this happen and what awaits the film in the event of the “cancellation” of the scandalous actor, said film critic Oksana Agapova.

In recent years, Miller has become a real headache for the film studio. But in the past few months, he’d outdone himself—he had drunken brawls, fought, got caught stealing. When it came to closing the project, the actor was quick to apologize publicly, citing psychological issues, but it seems it’s too late.

The ethical situation is also too complicated, just when Hollywood started to impose more responsibility on its employees, according to the film critic.

“The history of the blockbuster is extremely controversial. Not everything depends on Ezra Miller and his behavior. For a project like The Flash, the situation is very risky from the point of view of a major film studio. Perhaps they will postpone the project until they have investigated and then make a decision.

In addition, Miller could face a “cancellation” because Hollywood immunity hasn’t worked for a long time. In this case, it is unlikely that the film studio will decide to quickly restart the project with another actor, it is too difficult for fundamental projects like The Flash, especially in the time of the revival of cinema after the pandemic.

This story is interesting from a legal point of view – how can studios protect themselves from cases where they have spent a lot of money, and because of an actor they have to curtail the project, ”the expert reasoned in an interview with PopCornNews.
