WHAT’S BUZZING IN HOLLYWOOD?

JAMES GUNN SAYS ‘THE FLASH’ IS “ONE OF THE GREATEST SUPERHERO MOVIES EVER”

Ezra Miller, the star of ‘The Flash,’ seemed to be finished with the DC Universe after a turbulent year marked by many arrests and public meltdowns.

According to Variety, a USbased media house, Safran said that “Ezra is completely committed to their recovery.” Safran added, “And we are fully supportive of that journey that they’re on right now. When the time is right, when they feel like they’re ready to have the discussion, we’ll all figure out what the best path forward is. But right now, they are completely focused on their recovery. And in our conversati­ons with them over the last couple of months, it feels like they’re making enormous progress.”

Variety reports that Ezra Miller began treatment for a previously undiagnose­d mental health condition.Phase 1 of the DC reset, which will begin with a ‘Superman’ movie in 2025, was outlined by Safran and DC co-head James Gunn. For that project, neither a director nor an actor has yet been selected.
