DC fans call for Elliot Page to replace Ezra Miller as The Flash: ‘He’d be perfect’

With Ezra Miller expected to be fired from the DC Extended Universe, fans think there’s a clear replacement for The Flash: Elliot Page.

Miller’s future in the DC Extended Universe – which they joined in 2016’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice – has been in doubt since two parents filed for a restraining order against the actor on March 30, accusing them of grooming their 18-year-old child.

Since then, further accusations have come to light, including claims Miller brandished a gun in front of a 12-year-old, leading to a temporary harassment protection order for a family in Massachusetts.

Miller will appear in their first standalone DC film, The Flash, in 2023, having completed filming in 2021. This has created something of a headache for DC Films and parent company Warner Bros.

“There is no winning this for Warner Bros,” a source told Deadline. “The hope is that the scandal will remain at a low level before the movie is released, and hope for the best to turn out.”

Fans, however, think they’ve come up with a winning solution.

“Am I the only one who thinks Elliot Page should replace Ezra Miller as The Flash?” asked one user, who most certainly wasn’t alone in the thought.

“He’d be perfect,” one person replied.

Another chimed in and said: “Just want to take this moment to say Elliot Page would make a great Barry Allen, in case there’s ever a need to, you know, cast a new Flash for whatever reason.”

Others were just happy with the idea of having another excuse to stan Page, with one saying: “Let Elliot Page play The Flash. Let Elliot Page play whoever they want. Let me harbour an embarrassingly gigantic crush on him the entire time.”

Let Elliot Page play The Flash.

Let Elliot Page play whoever they want.

Let me harbor an embarrassingly gigantic crush on him the entire time.

Because I will anyway, fair warning.
