After a slew of controversial actions,The Flash star Ezra Miller is still paying the price as they’ve been removed from a high-profile project as a result of the continued public backlash following multiple publicized incidents.
Miller’s role as The Flash in the DC Extended Universe under Zack Snyder took their career to the next level, with their appearance in the Justice League film setting the stage for a solo project featuring the scarlet speedster and helmed by Miller. However, The Flash star would plead guilty to a trespassing charge amidst several other serious accusations that included a reported assault and many other disturbing actions. This slew of bad behavior, which Miller attributed to mental health issues while offering an apology, would turn public sentiment against them.
Unfortunately for Miller, James Gunn’s confirmation of a DCU reboot with The Flash shelved any plans for a sequel to The Flash, and they would also lose a prominent role in the Fantastic Beasts franchise due to the backlash to their behavior. Despite a relatively well-received apology and the passage of time, Miller has still lost yet another role. As noted by ComicBookMovie, the voice role of D.A. Sinclair from the fan-favorite Invincible has been recast for the show’s second season, removing Miller from the role they lent their voice to in season 1.
In the comics, Sinclair, a mad scientist-type villain who experiments on unwilling college students and is shut down by Invincible in his debut arc, returns as a government asset in future arcs after being recruited by Cecil Stedman. His appearance in the show’s second season is the first of many to come, and observant fans might have noticed a slight difference in the character’s voice. This is because Miller has been replaced by voice actor Eric Bauza, whose talents have most recently been put to use on X-Men ‘97’s widely viewed first episode. While Warner Bros. Discovery was stubbornly silent on the issues as they unfolded in the leadup to The Flash, it seems other companies aren’t so accommodating,
While Miller did fire back at some accusations after making their apology and undergoing treatment, the sheer shock and scale of the accusations (many of which still stand) might signal an insurmountable roadblock to Miller’s career going forward. Furthermore. the collapse of the DCEU and the disappointing performance of The Flashprobably didn’t do them any favors.
While Miller might be out of the equation, the franchises they’ve been a part of are still kicking. Invincible continues to defy common thoughts on superhero fatigue, and the entire industry is waiting to see if Gunn can prove his critics wrong with Superman, the first prong of his rebooted live-action universe.

Star Wars’s sequel trilogyhas gotten its fair share of criticism from fans over the years, and one social media user has come to the defense of the movies, flipping the narrative around one oft-clowned plot point from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Last December’s Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Firewas a paint-by-numbers space opera filled in with Zack Snyder’s maximalist colors. Pitched as “Seven Samurai but make it Star Wars” (literally, to Lucasfilm), the finished product was at best a violent B-movie mashup and at worst an expensive Asylum-esque mockbuster. Not a great movie, but a little promising? Its most glaring omission: an ending. After two hours of hero Kora (Sofia Boutella) wrangling a crew to defend a farming planet from Imperium forces, the showdown didn’t actually go down; Snyder held on to the payoff for Part Two: The Scargiver.
