The Flash Star Ezra Miller Reportedly Arrested Again In Hawaii
Following multiple arrest reports in the last few weeks, The Flash star Ezra Miller has reportedly been arrested once again in Hawaii. When Warner Bros. revealed its initial plans for the DCEU back in October 2014, Miller was one of the original cast members to be brought on for the envisioned Justice League. While Grant Gustin has continued to portray the Scarlet Speedster on The CW's The Flash, Miller was cast as the cinematic iteration, the first big-screen take on the character.
Since the end of March 2022, the 29-year-old-actor has been in multiple scandals in Hawaii. On Sunday, March 27, Miller was arrested by local police due to disorderly conduct and harassment. It included the Justice League star yelling obscenities and getting agitated with visitors singing karaoke, but they also lunged at a 32-year-old man playing darts. Miller was also initially hit with a restraining order by a Hawaiian couple after they had broken into their apartment and threatened to murder them before stealing various belongings. That restraining order was, however, dropped as of April 12.
While Miller has been reported to attend numerous hearings, The Flash lead has gotten involved with local law enforcement once again. In a new report from Hawaii News Now, Miller was arrested by police on Hawaii Island on Tuesday morning. KITV Island News also added that Miller was arrested due to a complaint of second-degree assault. The Hawaii Police Department confirmed the report, including details on Miller's arrest. At 1 a.m., Miller had caused tension after being asked to leave a get-together at a private residence in Lower Puna. It led to the actor throwing a chair that led to a 26-year-old woman getting hurt on the forehead, leaving an approximate half-inch cut. According to the report, the woman has refused treatment for her injury.
Miller was released today pending further investigation after a complete conferring with the county prosecutor’s office. However, Hawaii Police stressed that this is still an active case at this moment. Similar to the previous incidents in the last few weeks, neither Miller nor their representatives commented on this article's publication. While Miller's The Flash future is unknown for the time being, there were stories about how Warner Bros. and DC Films had allegedly held an emergency meeting in light of the legal issues. However, the studio reached out to the press to debunk the story while still not making any statements about the situation.
The Flash movie finished shooting in late 2021 and is currently in post-production after getting its November 4 release date pushed to June 23, 2023. Amidst Miller's legal situations, the actor reprised the role of Credence Barebone/Aurelius Dumbledore in Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. It has yet to be determined if Miller would have any involvement with a potential Fantastic Beasts 4. Warner Bros. may not take action until they see the results of Miller's upcoming hearings before deciding on where to do with the actor, where to go with The Flash franchise and the character's role in the DCEU.
