The Flash is one of the most anticipated superhero films this year and will start showing in theaters later this month. But, if you're wondering where the lead star, Ezra Miller, is, they won't be actively seen promoting the film beyond a low-profile appearance at its Los Angeles premiere on June 12.
Usually, blockbuster films of this status see their stars go on promotion junkets from granting interviews to press houses to making appearances on television. The Flash will tow a different line, though.
According to Variety, Miller will steer clear of the press in the run to the film's debut. They (Miller identifies as non-binary, so they use they/them pronouns) will pose for pictures at the film's premiere in Los Angeles and nothing more. In fact, they won't even grant interviews to members of the press as is the norm with Hollywood films.
Variety reports that a source close to Miller said they prefer the "conversation to be about the movie and not about Ezra," adding that they're currently "focused on their mental health."
Even though Warner's decision is unusual, a source told Variety that it is to protect the film's secret ending. While the studio has screened the film a few times, it has never truly revealed how it ends.
