Warner Bros. held the premiere for the long-awaited DC spinoff The Flash today in Hollywood with its star Ezra Miller, who has been the subject of several tabloid headlines from alleged assaults in Hawaii to unlawful trespassing at a neighbor’s house in Vermont, making their red carpet debut since such incidents.
Miller made an appearance on the red carpet at Ovation Hollywood sporting a bun and wearing a white jacket paired with black slacks.
Last August, the actor confessed to “suffering complex mental health issues” and beginning “ongoing treatment.” They reportedly sat down with Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group Bosses Pam Abdy and Michael De Luca to also make good.
However, that has left Warner Bros. hamstrung, largely keeping the star out of the press tour for the film which opens Friday.
Touted by newly installed DC Studios co-chief James Gunn as “probably one of the greatest superhero movies ever made,” the pic is only expected to open to $75M this weekend. Justice League, which also starred Miller as Barry Allen, The Flash opened to $93.8M stateside, which was not deemed a success for that $300M production. We will see if any great word of mouth from fans and the 72% fresh Rotten Tomatoes critics score will propel The Flash any higher.
Miller was joined on the red carpet by Ben Affleck who reprises his role of Batman as well as director Andy Muschietti, Kirsey Clemons and Barbara Muschietti.
Affleck was accompanied by his wife Jennifer Lopez.
