Billy may or may not show up for a second there but I doubt he'd be in the main movie Ok I watched the trailer now and more or less stand by it. Weird that it doesn't seem like it's going to be a prequel other than at the beginning, but I'd be very surprised if Shazam doesn't show up in the stinger still. It's not like they're trying to separate them, they were pretty clear about Adam existing in the Shazam movie

Look, if The Rock had it stipulated in his contract that he couldn’t lose a fight to Vin Diesel or Jason Statham, what makes anyone think he’ll lose a fight on-screen against Zachary Levi?

Vin Diesel was (and still is) the one with no losing in his contract. In the next Fast movie supporting characters actually have to spend at least 3 minutes each talking about how big his dick is, and how 5'6 is actually the perfect male height.

maybe Ezra can use super speed to deliver alcohol, weed, and LSD to everyone who sees the flash so they can forget Ezra is on screen

I haven't really followed any Black Adam/JSA stuff before, but if he's being played up as a slightly more caustic but ultimately heroic figure, couldn't it be that old nugget where he slaps the poo poo out of Billy but is ultimately be motivated to be less terrible by his gumption?

I know DC loves a good dark storyline but this is too much. Sounds like Ezra needs some time off to think about things, maybe 3-5 years somewhere safe.

Super speed is a gateway drug to super LSD, super weed, and super alcohol. No excuse for super grooming, though.

One day on patrol, the Flash runs through a comically large pane of glass that two guys are carrying across the street, severely injuring his face in the process. He has to spend the first quarter of the movie with his head wrapped up like a mummy with sunglasses on. Until the midway point when Flash crosses universes, his face is healed but the the scarring and subsequent stress put on him by smashing through dimensional barriers causes him to come out looking like [conventionally attractive Hollywood lead] rather than Ezra.

The Question IRL posted:They are going to make his magic word BlackAdam. The dumbest idea. To be fair, of the four JSA that look to feature heavily in the movie, two of them have reincarnation as a defining character trait (Fate, Hawkman).

WB already said they aren't recasting the Flash They're hoping everything cools down by the time it comes out, but Ezra keeps loving up so by the time the movie comes out, they'll probably be accused of even more and even worse things

They can't recast the Flash because the movie is already shot. This thing's coming out no matter what Miller does. They've sunk too much money into it not to.

They could still choose to dump it onto HBO Max. Like I know what they’ve said before now, but if Miller keeps doing this poo poo (which I hope doesn’t happen and they get the help and support they need), they may just say gently caress the theater release costs.

They've spent too much money to recast but eventually Miller is going to put enough bad will in to tank it beyond that, theoretically. Like there's "we know they have a drinking and fighting problem but it's not worth reshooting" and there's "we know they kidnapped a minor but it's not worth reshooting". If nothing else I could see it getting dumped onto streaming

Knowing how grotesque a lot of celebrities can be, it genuinely would not surprise me if we still haven't even heard the worst elements of the "I frequently fly a minor out to my foreign film shoots and get them hosed up" story yet.

Warner Bros aren't at the "All the Money in the World" stage of extensive re-shoots, but surely they are at the stage where they secretly film the "speed face-lift" scenario where the Flash suddenly is played by noted actor Johnny No-Fights* at the films end. Right? * = or go with Grant Gustin.

That's a lot of money to shoot down the drain and I don't think WB could do that. They're gonna release it in some form. But one thing is clear, whether or not it's addressed in the film itself, MIller will not be the Flash in any other films going forward. His career is done.

This story is starting to gain traction now and I'm starting to think WB are going to have to pull the plug. The details are just so grotesque and the shitstorm that's going to ensue is way worse than getting into a fight at a bar.

(Like the fights weren't the worst part before this story. It was how they would get arrested for getting into a fight, get bailed and then go do it again. And again. Even Shia and Russel Crow eventually called it quits. It really seemed like Miller wanted to fight the whole state of Hawaii.) The current stuff involving the minor is just another degree of bad.

I literally know nothing about the law so let me know if this is insane, but could a studio potentially sue an actor for causing them to scrap/re-do such a huge film. I've got to imagine most modern contracts have some sort of clause stating "do not conduct yourself in any way that brings the project into disrepute", because scrapping a film that probably costs 200 million on the basis of the actor's behaviour is a huge loss which is why I don't think they can do it. Fundamentally I don't think they can afford to just piss that money away.

You can sue anyone for anything in the US. How successful it is mostly comes down to how expensive your lawyers are.

Often times contracts (particularly ones involving celebrities and corporations) have clauses about how you don't bring the brand into disrepute. If WB and Erza had such a clause, you might see the contracts getting dusted down and looked at by the lawyers.

It's called a Morals Clause and it's a standard part of most major Hollywood contracts, but it doesn't really help the studio much in this case, because even if they sued Ezra Miller and won, and took every penny they owned, the studio still wouldn't recoup even a fraction of the cost of making the movie, or of the tens and tens of millions of dollars it would take to reshoot basically every scene to replace Ezra Miller with a different actor, and the fallout from the delays that would require.
