Ezra Miller first appeared as the Scarlet Speedster inBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justicein 2016 and was last seen inZack Snyder’s Justice League. Since 2016, news of his solo film has been circulating, with fans eagerly awaiting confirmation on its release. It was initially planned for the film to be ready and released in theaters by 2018. But, it faced several delays, mostly because of creative differences between the studio and the crew, which led to many directors leaving the project. Muschietti, along with his sister and the film’s producer, Barbara Muschietti, became a part ofThe Flashin 2019, but it took two years to finally get the cameras rolling.
