Despite a few dozen controversies under his belt, Ezra Miller still seems to be in Warner’s plans.
We thought it was almost finished and yet the most controversial actor in Hollywood, alias Ezra Miller, could well keep his role in the DC Universe.

Aquaman, Shazam, Blue Beetle, and Gunn’s Peacemaker series for HBO Max could all have a place at the table. Gunn and Safran, who were recommended by De Luca, have the full backing of the executives at WBD – Variety.
