There have been calls for trans actor Elliot Page to replace Ezra Miller in the upcoming Flash movie due to the ongoing support he has received after he was viciously harassed by right-wing broadcaster Jordan Peterson.
The Canadian professor went off on Page, falsely alleging that Page had his “breasts removed by a criminal physician.” Peterson’s Twitter account was suspended as a result, and he later reiterated his criticism of the Umbrella Academy star.
After then, Page received an enormous amount of support, particularly since Twitter allowed his deceased name to trend as a result of Peterson’s posts.
Next year, the Flash movie will be released
One of the Hollywood films that have been delayed the most is The Flash. The superhero film from the DC Extended Universe now has a release date of June 23, 2023, following numerous delays and script revisions.
This is honestly a pretty solid casting choice. I could see Elliot Page pulling off a solid Flash. https://t.co/gRACdwYjbs

The movie’s initial release date was set for June 2022. It was postponed to November, though. The lingering consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak and the delays it created were cited as the cause.
W arner Bros. shifted the release date to 2023 after reports that Ezra Miller had been detained for harassment and disorderly conduct surfaced. Despite the allegations, the director admitted he had no plans to recast the role.
Where is Ezra Miller?
The 29-year-old was detained in Hawaii in late March on suspicion of disorderly conduct and harassment. The star “apparently spewed obscenities,” according to TMZ, and also grabbed a young lady.
I just discovered that people want Elliot Page to replace Ezra Miller's Flash and I couldn't agree more. Perfect casting for reals

The actor was charged with harassing their daughter for years by the parents of an activist who was 18 years old. A protection order was sought against them by the parents.
This year, Miller has faced a number of highly publicized problems, including allegations of “kid grooming.” This has significantly delayed the release of the 2023 film, which also stars Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck, but many believe that having Page play the red-headed speedster would be the perfect solution to the issues the production has encountered.
