Ezra Miller teams up with Lynne Ramsay for new film

Ezra Miller appears poised for a Hollywood comeback following several years of legal troubles and personal controversies that surfaced publicly since 2020.

The actor made headlines with their recent appearance at the Cannes Film Festival (Variety), attending the premiere of Lynne Ramsay's latest project. This marked one of Miller's most visible public appearances in years, suggesting potential steps toward professional rehabilitation.

Miller rose to prominence through films like The Perks of Being a Wallflower before becoming synonymous with DC's The Flash and Fantastic Beasts franchises. However, their career faced turbulence after disturbing footage emerged online, followed by multiple legal incidents.

In 2022 alone, Miller faced two Hawaii arrests - first for harassment then for assault - along with Vermont burglary charges. The actor later issued a public apology, citing mental health struggles while expressing commitment to personal recovery.

Their last major project was 2023's The Flash, after which Miller maintained low visibility until recent festival appearances. During Italy's Filming Italy Sardegna event, Miller confirmed (Lo Speciale Giornale) plans for gradual professional reemergence.

"I've been writing extensively during this period of solitude," Miller noted, revealing collaborative screenplay work with director Lynne Ramsay represents their likely first official return project.

"Cannes attendance was about supporting Lynne, one of our greatest contemporary filmmakers," Miller explained. "Our upcoming collaboration will be a vampire film where I'll star." The actor described the festival as a challenging but necessary reentry point.

Miller reflected on their experiences: "While I deeply regret past actions, I'm grateful for the lessons learned during that difficult period. This industry reveals who truly supports you versus those merely seeking proximity to fame."

For additional context, Miller's recasting in Invincible and Flash director Andy Muschietti's praise for their DC performance remain relevant discussions. Muschietti previously advocated against recasting should Flash sequels materialize.
