Earlier this week, a video surfaced online which very clearly showed Justice League actor Ezra Miller grabbing a young woman by the throat and dragging her to the ground after asking if she "wants a fight."
Despite reports that Miller was behaving aggressively while drinking in a local bar beforehand, there was speculation that the entire incident may have been staged as some sort of prank. We still don't know the full story, but it doesn't look like the alleged victim is pressing charges. Or at least, she hasn't yet.

The Wrap reached out to the Reykjavik Metropolitan Police for an update, and was told that “no one was arrested or placed in custody regarding this.” Miller's representatives were also asked for a comment, but have yet to respond.
We'll have to wait and see if any more light is shed on what happened, but if it's revealed that this wasn't a prank, it will be difficult for Miller to sweep it under the rug - whether the woman in question presses charges or not.
Could it wind up costing him his role as The Flash? It's certainly possible, but don't expect any snap decisions from Warner Bros. before the full story comes out.
