‘The Flash’ Production Designer Dismisses Impact of Ezra Miller’s Legal Woes on Film’s Reception

In a stunning display of Hollywood’s arrogance, ‘The Flash’ production designer Paul Austerberry has brushed off concerns that star Ezra Miller’s legal troubles will affect the film’s box office performance. Austerberry believes that audiences will forget about Miller’s actions as soon as they see him on-screen.

Austerberry, who has worked on films such as ‘The Shape of Water’ and ‘It Chapter Two’, shared his opinion on the ‘Miller Situation’ during an interview with Canada’s CBC News. He also discussed his approach to bringing Bruce Wayne’s Batcave and Batwing back for Michael Keaton’s return to the role.

Despite the fact that the studio reportedly spent around $220 million to produce the film, Austerberry believes that ‘The Flash’ is a big screen, movie-going experience that is made for the multiplex. He hopes that most people will see it on the big screen.

When asked if he was concerned about Miller’s recent history affecting the film’s prospects, Austerberry side-stepped the question and praised Miller’s work on the film instead. Miller is set to return to his titular role when ‘The Flash’ hits theaters on June 16th.
