Ezra Miller will reportedly not be part of the DCEU following the release of The Flash in 2023. The actor has been at the center of various legal issues over the past few months.

In a new Deadline report, a source believes that "even if no more allegations surface" the studio "won't likely keep Miller in the Flash role in future DC films."

In June, the parents of 18-year-old Tokata Iron Eyes filed paperwork requesting a protective order. The filing, obtained by TMZ, read, "Ezra uses violence, intimidation, threat of violence, fear, paranoia, delusions, and drugs to hold sway over a young adolescent Tokata." A court hearing is set for July 12.

Tokata later posted a statement on their Instagram which read: "My father and his allegations hold no weight and are frankly transphobic and based in the notion that I am somehow incapable of coherent thought or opposing opinions to those of my own kindred worrying about my well being. I am now aware of the severity of emotional and psychological manipulation I was made to endure while in my parents [sic] home."

"There is no winning in this for Warner Bros," says one source. Whatever the case, it appears Miller’s time as The Flash is coming to an end. The studio has declined to comment on the situation.
