Ezra Miller Talks Long-Term Contract To Play THE FLASH

Hollywood up-and-comer Ezra Miller may have been a polarizing choice to play The Flash in WB’s budding cinematic universe, but that isn’t stopping the young actor from enjoying this potentially career-defining moment. When asked about whether he’s excited to know that he’s potentially going to have a job for quite a long time, Miller stated,  “It’s a mixed bag but I’m happy – I’m going to say I feel really happy about it in one way because the idea of actually having a steady job in my life is actually incredibly comforting.  It’s something I didn’t necessarily think I would ever have.   And then of course, there are the moments when responsibility-dodging, adolescent-me is like, ‘No, I don’t wan to’ [laughs].  [But] that’s a very small part.  At this point, it’s a diminishing voice.  Every time I think about that reality, it makes me extremely happy.  I’m really stoked and I would do it for forty years.  That contract could have said anything.”

Ezra Miller Talks Reaction To The Flash Casting

In October, Warner Bros. listed off all of the comic book movies that they will be releasing over the next five years. One of the, was a solo film for The Flash. That film will arrive in theaters March 23, 2018. They then announced that the Scarlet Speedster will be played by Ezra Miller, who is best known for his role in Perks Of Being A Wallflower and We Need to Talk About Kevin.

We haven’t heard anything from Miller since the announcement was made, but The Hollywood Reporter caught up with him at Sundance a few days ago and asked him about the moment he learned he landed the role. “Zack Snyder told me on the phone that he wanted me to play the Flash while I was eating a tilapia in a small Central American village,” Ezra Miller said. “That was definitely a moment that prompted me to question the fabric of my reality.”

We don’t have to wait until 2018 to get our first glimpse of Miller as The Flash, as you can expect his character to be included in Zack Snyder’s Justice League: Part 1 which arrives in theaters November 23, 2017.

Arrow’s Stephen Amell Talks DC TV And Movie Universe Split And More

Arrow star Stephen Amell has given his thoughts regarding DC’s decision to split their movie and TV universes.

Speaking with The Wall Street Journal, Amell was asked if he was “ready for a Green Arrow movie.” Amell explained that he feels wanting a movie that takes place in the same universe as the Arrow series undermines how much effort goes into creating 23-hours’ worth of episodes a year.
“I am completely indifferent,” says Amell.

“First of all, wanting a movie undersells the idea that making 23 episodes a year isn’t a huge achievement. It is and I would put that degree of difficulty up against any feature film that has ever been made… except Lord of the Rings and that gigantic Peter Jackson-led undertaking… and maybe Titanic.

“But, other than those two movies, I’d put making 23 hours of interesting content in a TV season up against anything on the film side. It is difficult to me to want or envision an Arrow movie when we are shooting the 10th episode of our third season with 13 more episodes to go and in all likelihood 3 more seasons on the other side of that. I’m interested in keeping that content fresh. Once we get to the end of that road, maybe then I’ll shift my focus.”
 
Recently it was announced that Ezra Miller will be playing The Flash in film, as opposed to Grant Gustin who dons the red outfit for TV. When asked about playing Green Arrow on the big screen, and whether he’d like to be the one to play him, the Arrow star said “Yeah. Of course,” before admitting there’s enough space in the world for two versions of Green Arrow and Flash.

“I feel like it should be Grant doing the movie. But the important thing to remember is just because Grant Gustin plays the part of Barry Allen doesn’t mean Ezra Miller can’t also play Barry Allen. There can be different interpretations of the character. Anyone who is a fan of the comics knows the Flash character is one of the forces that leads to parallel universes.

“And who knows, they might find a fantastic actor to play Oliver Queen on the feature side who has a different take on the character. I’m certainly a departure from the typical Oliver Queen from the comic books. I just think that everybody needs to be patient with the whole thing. The fact that DC and Warner have announced all these comic book features is nothing but good for business.”

Arrow is currently in its third season.
