The Flash & Wonder Woman Get Key DCU Update From James Gunn
James Gunn recently spoke about The Flash and Wonder Woman's status in Peacemaker during Episode 6 of its official podcast, giving a brief update on the DCU's speedster. He hinted at their place in the series' timeline and suggested they will eventually appear in the DCU. James Gunn on whether The Flash and Wonder Woman were canon in Peacemaker When co-host Steve Agee noted that kids in a Season 1 classroom scene mention the two heroes, James Gunn responded, 'Yeah, are they canon? I don't know. We'll have to wait and see. I mean, they'll exist eventually. Whether they exist now, I don't know.' This marked his first official comment on the DCU's present-day Flash since the reboot began. Gunn had previously revealed that Ezra Miller's Flash cameo in the Season 1 finale, alongside the Justice League, was not DCU canon. In the DCEU, The Flash (2023) marked the character's final film before the DCU relaunch. The DCU has already teased a new speedster through a Max Mercury mural in Superman and introduced its first live-action Superman, played by David Corenswet. Gunn had said earlier that neither Flash nor Aquaman would appear in the DCU for at least two years. This gap allows space between their DCEU portrayals and future DCU debuts. Regarding Wonder Woman, Gunn's remarks suggest she will appear in the DCU but may differ from the DCEU's long-lived Themysciran warrior. A Wonder Woman project is in development under Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Studios leadership. Separately, a rumor from scooper @MyTimeToShineH claims the Season 1 Justice League cameo will be replaced in Peacemaker Season 2 with the Justice Gang, first seen in Superman (2025). In the reshot version, Mister Terrific, Superman, Supergirl, Green Lantern, and Hawkgirl appear, with only the latter two fully visible. The exchange between Aquaman and Flash is replaced by a gag involving Peacemaker, Green Lantern, and Hawkgirl. Peacemaker Season 2 features returning cast members John Cena, Jennifer Holland, Freddie Stroma, Steve Agee, and Danielle Brooks. It premieres August 21, 2025, on HBO Max. Solve the daily Crossword

Ezra Miller has ‘remorse' over past behaviour, hints at return to Hollywood
Actor Ezra Miller revealed that they have 'a lot of remorse' for their past behaviour after stepping away from Hollywood for a couple of years. Miller's career was derailed after they were at the centre of several criminal cases and the subject of numerous allegations, including assault and grooming. The star of The Flash, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, addressed their past controversies in an interview with Lo Speciale Giornale following their first major red-carpet appearance at the Cannes Film Festival since stepping away from the entertainment industry. 'When you work in this industry, you will find yourself in deep relation with a lot of people who do not give a single f— about you or your well-being at all,' Miller said. 'Not that I don't hold a lot of remorse and lamentation for a lot of things that I did and for a lot of things that happened in that time, but I'm really, really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss. Story continues below advertisement 'When we go through those crucibles, if we can survive — which was up in the air for me, if I'm being real — we then have that capacity to see other people in their crucibles and just to reach towards them. 'That grows more and more rarefied in our world, too. Like, the capacity to do that, the desire to do that, the willingness to do that. 'We've become very consumed in notions of perception, self-perception, how we're perceived in the world. I really believe in digging past that and being a friend to people. And the people who did that for me, they have my lifelong devotion.' Miller said they attended the Cannes Film Festival at the request of director Lynne Ramsay, whom they called 'one of the greatest living filmmakers' and shared that they're working on a new movie together.

'And I came to Cannes because she asked me to come, and if there's anything I really still believe in in my life, it's devotion to one's people, one's loved ones … above all else.' Miller said their current relationship with the movie industry is on 'tentative grounds.' 'If you've been in the woods for three years, I do not recommend going straight to Cannes, where every photographer and every weirdo, every rich genocidal freak (will) be there, you know what I mean?' Miller said. 'It's not an easy re-entry.' Story continues below advertisement View image in full screen Joe Manganiello and Ezra Miller attend the Filming Italy 2025 red carpet at Forte Village Resort on June 21, 2025 in Santa Margherita di Pula, 2022, Miller was arrested twice in Hawaii for disorderly conduct and harassment at a karaoke bar when the actor grabbed a mic from a singing woman and lunged at a man playing darts. They were later arrested again on suspicion of assault for allegedly throwing a chair at a woman, leaving her with a half-inch gash on her forehead. Before those two incidents, Miller was the source of at least 10 police calls in Hawaii for things like loitering, filming people at a gas station and arguing with people in public. They were also charged with felony burglary in Vermont after police said they stole several bottles of alcohol from an empty residence. In June 2022, a Massachusetts mother was granted a temporary order of protection after a judge found that her child faced 'substantial likelihood of immediate danger of harassment' at Miller's hands. Story continues below advertisement Reports also emerged that Miller had been housing a mother and three children at their farmhouse in Vermont, alarming the children's father, who claimed that guns and marijuana were easily accessible on the property. The father claimed he contacted Vermont's Department for Children and Families to carry out a wellness check on the children. The mother alleged that Miller helped her escape an abusive situation with her ex and that the farm has been a 'healing haven' for the family. Miller previously underwent treatment for 'complex mental health issues' in August 2022 and apologized for their actions, acknowledging their erratic behaviour. They said that a period of crisis prompted their recent actions and that they were seeking mental health treatment. '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. 'I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behaviour. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life.' — With files from Global News

Ezra Miller's Controversies, Public Comeback Explained
Ezra Miller has revealed their plan to make a 'tentative' return to the spotlight, years after they were at the center of a string of problematic controversies that saw them retreat from the public eye. So, here's a recap of Ezra's rollercoaster career, and everything there is to know about their comeback. Ezra first started acting in their early teens, and landed their first leading role in a feature film in 2008 at age 15, but it was the 2011 movie We Need To Talk About Kevin that proved to be their breakout role when Ezra was 19 years old. After that, Ezra starred in several notable movies, including The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, and joined some huge franchises like DC Comics as the Flash, and the Fantastic Beasts series, where they played Dumbledore's brother, Credence Barebone. But as their career went from strength to strength, Ezra began exhibiting extremely concerning behavior off-camera. Notably hitting the headlines when they were arrested two times in as many months in Hawaii back in 2022, and also received a restraining order in a separate incident. The first arrest was on March 28, with the police report stating that Ezra became agitated by a group of patrons in a Hawaii bar that were singing karaoke. The actor allegedly shouted obscenities at the group and snatched the microphone from a 23-year-old woman mid-song. Ezra is then said to have lunged at a man who was playing darts, and was arrested and charged on both counts before being released on $500 next day, a local couple in Hawaii filed a temporary restraining order against Ezra, alleging that after the arrest at the bar, Ezra burst into their bedroom and threatened the police report, Ezra is accused of telling the man: 'I will bury you and your slut wife.' It also alleges that Ezra stole the man's wallet, which contained his bank cards, social security card, and driver's license, and the woman's passport. The following month, Ezra was arrested and taken into custody for second-degree assault, also in Hawaii. This time, they were accused of throwing a chair at a 26-year-old woman, which struck her on the forehead and left a half-inch cut. Police stated that officers were called to a private residence at around 1:10 a.m. in response to a report that Ezra had become irate after being asked to leave a gathering. Ezra was found at a traffic stop 20 minutes later, where they were arrested before being released from custody just after 4 a.m. A subsequent exposé in Rolling Stone alleged that Ezra had 'frequent meltdowns' during production for The Flash in 2021, with an insider stressing at the time that Ezra was never violent, but described them as 'losing it' after getting 'a thought in [their] head' and losing confidence in what they were doing. Then, in June 2022, the parents of an 18-year-old activist called Gibson Iron Eyes accused Ezra of grooming their child, with rumors that Ezra is leading a cult also circulating online. At this point, past incidents involving Ezra began to resurface, too, including some troubling interactions with fans — such as choking a woman, and kissing a man seemingly without consent. In a video from Comic-Con 2017, a fan can be seen asking Ezra if they're drunk, but the actor jokes in response that the Flash can't get drunk because their metabolism is so fast. When the fan asks if he can smell Ezra's breath as proof, Ezra kisses the man on the lips before continuing to kiss his face. Ezra then asks: 'How'd it smell?' and walks away. In 2020, Ezra was in the line of fire again when a video emerged on X that appeared to show them choke-slamming a woman in a bar in Iceland. Variety reported at the time that the incident occurred when Ezra was approached by a group of 'pushy' fans at around 6 p.m. In the clip, the fan appears to be gearing up for a play fight, at which point Ezra asks: 'Did you want to fight?' before grabbing her by the throat and pushing her to the ground. Someone else can be heard shouting: 'Whoa, bro! Bro!' with a source telling Variety that it was a 'serious altercation.'Ezra was said to have been escorted from the premises at the time, and ET Canada added that people who claimed to be at the scene had alleged Ezra spat on them and staff members, and also proudly showed off their scars from previous fights. In August 2022 — four months after their second Hawaii arrest — Ezra said that they are in treatment for 'complex mental health issues' as they publicly apologized for their behavior. "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," Ezra said in the statement. "I want to apologize to everyone that I have alarmed and upset with my past behavior. I am committed to doing the necessary work to get back to a healthy, safe and productive stage in my life."In January 2023, Ezra pleaded guilty to unlawfully trespassing in relation to the couple who filed the temporary restraining order, and the burglary charge against Ezra was dropped. Ezra was put on probation for a year, subject to a fine, and ordered to give up alcohol as well as continue seeking mental health treatment. In June of that same year, people were left shocked when Ezra attended the Los Angeles premiere for The Flash, where they posed for photos, signed autographs, and even spoke in front of a packed audience — during which they thanked Warner execs for their "grace and discernment and care in the context of my life." Since then, the star has maintained a pretty low profile until May of this year, when Ezra, now 32, was spotted walking the red carpet for the movie Die My Love at Cannes Film Festival. Die My Love stars Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson and was directed by Lynne Ramsay, who directed Ezra in We Need To Talk About Kevin over a decade ago. Ezra and Lynne have remained good friends ever since. Ezra later said they only attended the premiere to support Lynne, though they admitted that Cannes was a 'tough re-entry point' after so long away from the spotlight. Ezra opened up to Italian publication Lo Speciale Giornale when they made another public appearance at a Filming Italy event last week. "I came to Cannes to support one of my closest friends in the world, who is Lynne Ramsey,' Ezra said in the interview. "I didn't necessarily want to go to Cannes, I had a bit of a hard time. That's a tough re-entry point. If you've been in the woods for three years, I do not recommend going straight to Cannes, where every photographer and every weirdo, every rich genocidal freak will be there, you know what I mean?" Explaining that they would 'do anything' for Lynne as well as their other friends, Ezra reflected on their years of legal woes and controversies. They said: 'When we go through those crucibles, if we can survive, which was up in the air for me, if I'm being real, we then have that capacity to see other people in their crucibles and just to reach towards them… I think that grows more and more rarefied in our world, too.'"Like, the capacity to do that, the desire to do that, the willingness to do that,' Ezra went on. 'We've become very consumed in notions of perception, self-perception, how we're perceived in the world. I really believe in digging past that and being a friend to people. And the people who did that for me, they have my lifelong devotion."'Also, I'm grateful for the revelations of who was not that,' they explained. 'When you work in this industry, you'll find yourself in deep, deep relation with a lot of people who do not give a single fuck about you, or your well-being, at all.' Ezra concluded: 'And so, not that I don't hold a lot of remorse and lamentation for a lot of things that I did, and for a lot of things that happened in that time, I'm really, really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss." Elsewhere in the interview, the actor revealed that they are currently writing a movie with Lynne, which will 'likely be the first thing' Ezra does if their Hollywood return materializes. "I've been writing a lot, because you can do that in solitude, which has been friendly to me,' they explained. You can watch Ezra's full interview below, let me know your thoughts in the comments.

"The Flash" at Ovation Hollywood on June 12, 2023 in Hollywood, California Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic As to why they were at Cannes, Miller said they were there to support Ramsay who famously directed Miller in the acclaimed 2011 drama "We Need to Talk About Kevin". "I'm working with [Ramsay] again, that will likely be the first thing I do," Miller said. "It's a film that her and I are writing together.

Miller became one of Hollywood's most controversial figures in 2022 after a long list of legal troubles arose. Even earlier than that, back in 2020, Miller's behavior was raising alarms when a video surfaced that appeared to show them choking a woman in a bar. Before those controversies arose, Miller's star was on the rise, with the "Perks of Being a Wallflower" star attached to two huge (though later defunct) blockbuster Warner Bros. franchises: the DCEU and JK Rowling's "Fantastic Beasts". Miller ultimately apologized for their behavior and promised to seek treatment for their "complex mental health issues." Speaking about what happened, Miller said, "When you work in this industry, you will find yourself in deep relation with a lot of people who do not give a single f--k about you or your well being at all." "And so, not that I don't hold a lot of remorse or lamentation for a lot of things that I did and a lot of things that happened in that time, but I'm really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss."

Ezra Miller considers returning to Hollywood: 'Solitude has been friendly to me'
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."
