The incidents have sparked widespread speculation over Miller’s role as DC’s The Flash, with some fans calling for the role to be recast.
However, Warner Bros presented a new trailer for The Flash’s upcoming solo outing at CinemaCon 2022 which included footage of Miller.

According to reports, the Flash trailer gave a first look at Sasha Calle’s Supergirl, Michael Shannon’s Zod, and Michael Keaton’s return as Batman. Ben Affleck also appears in the film as Batman.
Scenes from the trailer showed Keaton’s Batman living in Wayne Manor, with the character appearing with long hair and a beard.
In the footage, Keaton is seen in wearing suit without its cowl. In another, he can be seen standing in front of seven iconic Batman suits.
The Flash, which stars Ezra Miller as the DC hero with unbelievable speed, was recently delayed from November 2022 to June 2023.
