Two years after Ezra Miller's last screen role and three years after a barrage of legal issues, including criminal charges and harassment allegations, The Flash star is eyeing a return.
Miller surprised industry watchers by appearing at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, attending in support of friend and collaborator Lynne Ramsay's Die My Love.
Ramsay, who directed the actor in 2011's award-winning We Need to Talk About Kevin, is "one of my closest friends in the world" and "one of the greatest living filmmakers," Miller (who uses they/them pronouns) told Italian publication Lo Speciale Giornale.
Ramsay revealed in May that Miller will star as the main character in her next film, described as a vampire movie.
"I'm working with her again," Miller confirmed. "That will likely be the first thing I do, is a film that her and I are writing together. I've been writing a lot because you can do that in solitude, which has been friendly to me."
When asked to characterize his relationship with cinema, Miller responded, "Tentative — I'd say on tentative grounds."
Though Miller's legal and personal issues came to a head in 2022, the actor had already courted controversy and legal scrutiny when in 2020, a video resurfaced of the actor choking a woman in a bar in Iceland to the ground.
In 2022, Miller faced accusations of assault, abuse, and grooming children, and was subject of arrest for disorderly conduct, which led to a string of subsequent arrests, often following physical altercations. Certain charges, like their 2023 burglary charge in the state of Vermont, have been dropped due to plea deals Miller has struck in multiple states.
Miller has since apologized for their behavior, noting in a statement provided to Entertainment Weekly that they were in "a time of intense crisis," as well as "suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment."
Three years from that period of "crisis," Miller is "really, really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss."
"When you work in this industry," said the actor, who also starred in the Fantastic Beasts trilogy of films, "you will find yourself in deep, deep relation to people who do not give single f--- about you or your well being, at all — not that I don't hold a lot of remorse and lamentation for a lot of things I did and a lot of things that happened in that time."
