Ezra Miller will play The Flash in the DCEU. That's a fact, whether you like it or not. It's true that Grant Gustin has done a great job since stepping into the role of the Scarlet Speedster on The CW's hit TV series, but WB chose to separate their TV and movie universes, and in doing so, required another talented young actor to portray Barry Allen. Speaking to EW, the Perks Of Being A Wallflower star elaborated on how his take on the character differs from Gustin's.
"Well, [first] it’s going to be a movie. I’d like for it to be an exploration of a human being, a multi-dimensional human being, to speak." Miller began, before pausing and adding, "Wow, I just made such a pun, without meaning to!" (in reference to The Flash's history of parallel universe storylines in the comics). "I'd like the character to have many dimensions," he continued, "But really, I’d like him to have the usual dimensions we know and love, and then some extra ones that are part of the amazing consideration of this superhero. I hope to realize him as a person, and I think what’s most exciting for me in superhero mythologies is when we feel the humanity of someone who is heroic — or the heroism of someone who is a flawed, deeply human person."
Miller's given very little nothing away here, but he's continued to show a passion for the character in his interviews. Only time will tell whether he's the best fit for the role, but if his recent work is any indication, he's more than up to the challenge. What do you think? Should Gustin have been given the chance, or did WB pick the right man for the job? Sound off below!
The Flash is set to hit theatres March 23, 2018.
