It seems we're about to see a whole lot more of Ezra Miller. He's already been cast as 'The Flash' as part the DC Cinematic Universe, and now he looks set to join another huge Warner Bros. property in Harry Potter spin-off, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them. According to Variety, Miller is in early talks for the role of 'Kredan', a wizard who encounters the film's protagonist, Newt Scamander, while on his travels documenting magical creatures in New York City.

The talented actor joins a cast that so far includes Oscar-winner Eddie Redmayne as Scamander, and Inherent Vice's Katherine Waterston as 'Tina' - one of two female leads. Variety also claim that two other major roles have yet to be cast, with WB closing in on their main targets. Alison Sudol is the favorite to play Tina's younger sister, 'Queenie', while comic actors Josh Gad and Michael Cera are set to meet the studio next week for the role of 
Scamander's rival, 'Jacob'.

With the DCCU already on his plate (beginning with a cameo in Batman V. Superman next March), Ezra Miller is going to be very busy balancing two major franchises over the next few years. Are you excited to see him feature in the Harry Potter spin-off? Or are you just relieved to hear that Michael Cera is still alive? Be sure to leave your thoughts below!

Unless your name is Dexter. In which case, no one cares what you think.

In the minority (I guess), but don't think he's a great actor tbh. And yes, I've seen Perks and Kevin. Carries the same sarcasm throughout both films, and that being his own rather than the characters.

Ezra Miller is going to be a star in the couple of years! I hope we get to see his Flash suit at comic con..

But in the case that we don't:

Lmao! I kind of hope Miller gets cast in everything from now on, just to piss off the assholes.

@MrMartyMarvel Dude I'm dying. That's hilarious!


In other news: Who else is waiting for Snyder to announce that he's punk'd us all and that Miller is either playing Jason Todd (a character that needs an emotional actor)or Catwoman?

And if that WERE the case, I think we'd all graciously accept Chris Pine as Wally West and Nathan Fillion as an older Hal Jordan mentoring a young John Stewart.....

Anyone? No? Just me?

I'll leave now.

Really hope the Chris Pine Gree Lantern rumor is true... Gotta make up for Gadot and Ezra. Just don't see Ezra as Barry at all. Maybe a Robin or Impulse, but not Flash

@MartiBro14 just posting a funny gif of miller. There's no animosity behind it, just a sense of humor. Is there a problem or what?

I can see why people dislike his casting as the Flash. At least give the dude a chance, wait till you see him in a trailer and in costume. For all we know he could end up becoming EVERYONE'S favorite CBM character once he's on film. Watch him win an oscar for his role as The Flash! I would geek hard if that happen. Affleck as Batman has a better chance....IMO

I didn't know the Eddie Redmayne casting was ever finalized. Very cool.
I honestly haven't seen anything with Ezra in it, but anyone with such high praise seems alright by me. Also curious about the character.
Fingers crossed this trilogy doesn't pan out to be another Hobbit mess. I don't hate the Hobbit trilogy, but the dead horse knows we didn't need a trilogy.
