Part 2/9:
Starting with DC Comics film star Ezra Miller, recent years have seen the actor embroiled in a series of alarming incidents and allegations. Despite the controversy and their troubling behavior over the past year, Warner Bros. and DC decided to stand by Miller, casting them in the much-anticipated The Flash. Unfortunately, the film's reception has been overwhelmingly negative, with poor box office performance and critical reviews adding to the drama. This situation exemplifies the hesitant balance studios try to maintain between creative decisions and public relations pitfalls ahead of a project's release.
