After months of anticipation, Ezra Miller’sThe Flashhas finally hit the theatres, while the final movie of Zack Snyder’s DCEU was expected to be a massive hit, as the movie was hyped by several big names including James Gunn and Tom Cruise. Regardless of the production budget, marketing, and hype created for the film, it ended up as nothing but a huge disappointment for the franchise.
However, the situation started to worsen for the film as it started to get compared to one of the worst Marvel movies ever created, asThe Flashhas seen a significant fall in its earnings, as it continues to premiere on the big screen. The situation looks grim for Ezra Miller because the drop is more than the recent DCEU box office failures, that is,Black AdamandShazam! Fury of the Gods.

The FlashGets Compared To Marvel’s Biggest Failure
After managing to live up to its hype only on the opening weekend of its release,Ezra Miller’sThe Flashhas been underperforming at the box office, as the film has collected only $201.9 million worldwide. However, it has not matched Warner Bros. Discovery, and to add to their problem the film is getting compared to some of the most disappointing superhero films ever created.
As per The Wrap,The Flashhas seen a major 72% drop, some estimating that this drop is worse than Marvel StudiosAnt-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,but a little betterthanMorbiuswhich had seen a 73.8% drop when it released in 2022, which earned only $39 million on its opening weekend.
The fall is shocking because of the big names attached to the film, such as Ben Affleck, Ezra Miller, Sasha Calle, as well as Micheal Keaton who has returned to portray his role of Bruce Wayne/ Batman. Moreover, James Gunn, who took over the DC Studios as the new Co-CEO had immense faith in the movie and has just made the DC fans disappointed. In any case,The Flashis not getting a sequel in James Gunn’s DCU, and with that, Ezra Miller’s future in the new DCU remains uncertain.

Ezra Miller’s Future In DCU Is in Jeopardy
After James Gunn took over as the new Co-CEO of the DC Studios the decision to take down the existing DCEU did not come as a shock, as Gunn and Safran has their own plans and vision to build the perfect DCU that the fans will enjoy and look forward to. As a result, the sacking of Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck was forgiven by ardent DC fans.
While Ezra Miller’s job was safe, many fans questioned it due to the actor’s controversial past. When Gunn was asked about Miller’s future, he shared that they will wait and see how things turn out.
“We’re just gonna have to wait and see. You know, we’ll see how things go.”
SinceThe Flashhas failed to meet expectations, it can be interpreted that it is not long before theJustice Leagueactor is forced to walk away from their iconic role of Barry Allen/ The Flash.
