Ezra Miller Books Next Role After Scandals in Movie from 'We Need to Talk About Kevin' Director
Following multiple controversies and arrests, Ezra Miller has booked another film role The Flash star will star in Lynne Ramsay's upcoming vampire movie, the director said in an interview Miller last worked with Ramsay on 2011's We Need to Talk About KevinEzra Miller has booked another screen role years after making headlines for various scandals. Director Lynne Ramsay said in an interview earlier this month with The Los Angeles Times that The Flash star will play the main character in her next movie. Miller, who identifies as nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns, last worked with Ramsay in the 2011 drama We Need to Talk About Kevin. 'I'm making a vampire movie,' Ramsay, 55, said when asked about making horror films. 'I can't tell you much. It's with Ezra Miller who was in Kevin. He's the main character. That's in development.' Laughing, she added that production on that project is further along than audiences might think: 'You won't wait for 10 years. I don't have 10 years. I've got to do it quicker than that.' Miller, 32, made their Hollywood breakout in 2008's Afterschool and 2012's The Perks of Being a Wallflower before landing the role of Barry Allen in several DC Extended Universe movies, most recently leading 2023's The Flash. That superhero movie's release was overshadowed by controversies surrounding Miller, who in 2022 faced a series of arrests for disorderly conduct and assault charges. In Hawaii, the actor pled no contest to a disorderly conduct charge over incidents at a karaoke bar, and was later arrested and charged with second-degree assault after allegedly throwing a chair. Later in 2022, Miller was accused of grooming two children and of burglarizing a home in Vermont. In August of that year, Miller publicly addressed their troubling behavior in a statement to PEOPLE. "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," the star said. "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.'

On May 17, Ramsay, whose last feature film was 2017's You Were Never Really Here, premiered Die, My Love at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. An adaptation of Ariana Harwicz's novel of the same name, it stars Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson and LaKeith Stanfield and counts Martin Scorsese and Lawrence among its producers.

Review – The Flash #21: Army of the Flash
The Flash #21 – Simon Spurrier, Writer; Vasco Georgiev, Artist; Matt Herms, Colorist Ray – 9/10 Ray: 'Dark Moon Rising', the current Flash crossover, definitely continues the strange and surreal tone of this series under Simon Spurrier – but it also escalates that to a cosmic level, with Eclipso having taken over the moon and launched a massive war on reality. The only thing standing in his way – the Flash, or rather all the Flashes. This not only includes the whole team, but Wally West has taken full advantage of his new ability to split himself into multiple copies and built an army of his duplicates – sending them in massive waves to take on the enemy, no matter how many of them get killed off. This has made him more than a little unhinged, and is wearing on his relationships with his friends and family. It's worrying them enough that they call in some extra backup for an intervention – Barry Allen, who lost his powers during Absolute Power and has been adjusting to life as a normie ever since. This is an interesting issue that's been dealt with extensively with the character of Multiple Man over at the competition – the idea of when exactly these 'dupes' become their own person. Most of them don't make it past the first wave of attack, and those that do are quickly absorbed back into Wally Prime. Wally's cavalier attitude clearly disturbs Barry, as he thinks the Flashes were never meant to be soldiers. But when a thought-dead Wally shows up, having gotten further into Eclipso's base than anyone else, things taken an interesting new turn. Wally wants to quickly absorb what this leftover has to share, but it's been so long since they were one and the same that this character is ready to go 'rogue'. There are some very interesting elements in this issue, including a close-up look at some of the villains, but what makes this issue work is how it still manages to make this very cosmic topic feel human.

How has Iowa shaped Brandon Routh's career? See what he says ahead of Des Moines Con
Iowa's favorite superhero is making his way back home. Actor Brandon Routh, best known for playing Superman, is coming to Des Moines Con 2025. Routh, who grew up playing fantasy video games and reading fantasy novels in Iowa, first took on the role for "Superman Returns" in 2006. He's been part of several "geekdoms" throughout his life and is looking forward to connecting with fans in his home state. As he's gotten older, Routh said he's realizing he has a "unique energy" that he attributes to his Midwest background. Routh brings that energy to a lot of his characters, saying that it comes from "who I am, but also from Iowa, and it comes from small town," Routh said. "It comes from the sense of community that I had growing up in Norwalk and in larger Des Moines." Norwalk has been home to two superheroes. Fellow actor Jason Momoa attended high school in Norwalk at the same time as Routh. Aside from Superman, Routh has also played The Atom on several TV shows including "Arrow," "The Flash" and "Supergirl." The actor said while Iowa may not have everything right — and never has necessarily — it's a wonderful place with live. He said exploring the world has helped him see how different people are, but how similar they are, too. He said Iowa taught him those qualities and he tries to reflect that back to Iowans in his work. Aside from being able to see Routh, attend his session and possibly even get an autograph or picture , he said fans attending the convention can also expect to find a safe space. "The convention is about creating community, and I think letting people be free to like the things that they like and not feel like they're silly or weird for liking a niche [thing]," Routh said. "I think that's one of the beautiful things I've noticed about cons. They can be more of a safe place than other places in the world can be." Routh said he looks forward to the wonderful energy that he knows will be at Des Moines Con. While he may not always be as visible as an appearance at Des Moines Con, Routh said he tries to get back to Iowa regularly. The Iowa State Fair is a favorite stop for his family and they try to attend every year. Routh also said he's probably gone to Adventureland more as an adult than he did growing up in Norwalk. During the winter, the family likes to visit the hills at Sleepy Hollow. As a Hawkeye fan, he also likes trips to Iowa City. Routh will host a Q&A on Superman and the Arrowverse at 12 p.m. Sunday, June 1, according to the event's schedule. The event kicks off Friday, May 30, at 12 p.m. and continues through Sunday evening. Des Moines Con hours are: Friday, May 30: Exhibit hall hours are 12 p.m. to 7 p.m.; Programming hours are 1 p.m. to 12 a.m. Saturday, May 31: Exhibit hall hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Programming hours are 10 a.m. to 12 a.m. Sunday, June 1: Exhibit hall hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Programming hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Victoria Reyna-Rodriguez is a general assignment reporter for the Register.
