In August 2022, Ezra Miller apologized for the whole saga and insisted that their behavior had been a result of a mental health spiral. “Having recently gone through a time of intense crisis, I now understand that I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment,” Miller explained in a statement to Variety, offering apologies to anyone who had been negatively impacted by their actions over the past year. “I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe, and productive stage in my life.”
Despite speculation that Miller had harmed the DC Comics brand, the company stood by the actor and dropped the first official trailer for “The Flash” during the Super Bowl in 2023. Peter Safran and James Gunn, who are currently in charge of DC Studios, defended Miller in an interview with Deadline. “Ezra is completely committed to their recovery,” Safran insisted, adding that the actor had their full support on their journey to wellbeing.

The pair didn’t confirm whether Miller would be playing the Flash in any sequels or crossover movies, however, explaining that future movies were a conversation for another day. “Right now, they are completely focused on their recovery,” Safran continued. “And in our conversations with them over the last couple of months, it feels like they’re making enormous progress.”
