Ezra Miller’s Shocking Comeback: Is Hollywood Ready for His Return?

After staying away from the limelight for almost two years, Ezra Miller is subtly planning to make a comeback in Hollywood. Recently, at the Cannes Film Festival last month, the actor, who has been embroiled in controversies, unexpectedly graced the red carpet, supporting director Lynne Ramsay’s new movie “Die My Love“. This public appearance is Miller’s first significant event since a series of criminal charges and accusations that have significantly tarnished their reputation and career.

In a recent conversation with the Italian publication Lo Speciale Giornale, Miller revealed that he’s collaborating on a fresh venture with Ramsay, who earlier worked with him on ‘We Need to Talk About Kevin’.

Miller stated that he had traveled to Cannes for the purpose of supporting one of his dearest friends globally, Lynne Ramsay – whom he considers as one of the most exceptional filmmakers currently alive. He mentioned that it’s likely the first project he will undertake is a movie they are collaborating on, writing together.

Later on, Ezra Miller discussed his anticipated comeback to Hollywood, describing it as a “challenging starting point” within the entertainment industry.

He’s been spending a lot of time writing as it allows him to work alone, something that has been beneficial to him, he mentioned. However, it should be noted that Miller’s past legal issues might have a lasting impact on his upcoming creative resurgence.

A Troubled Pattern

2020 onwards, Miller has found himself in the limelight due to several criminal probes and public controversies, encompassing these key events:

  • April 2020 – Iceland Choking Video: A viral video captured Miller choking a woman and forcing her to the ground outside a bar in Reykjavik. Although no charges were filed, the footage led to significant public backlash.
  • March 2022 – Arrest in Hawaii: Miller was arrested for disorderly conduct and harassment after a disturbance at a karaoke bar in Hilo. He was accused of shouting obscenities, grabbing a microphone from a woman singing, and lunging at a man playing darts.
  • March 2022 – Threats and Burglary: Just weeks later, a local couple filed for a restraining order after Miller allegedly entered their home, threatened them, and stole personal items including a passport and wallet. The order was later dropped.
  • April 2022 – Second Arrest in Hawaii: Miller was taken into custody again, this time for second-degree assault after reportedly throwing a chair that struck a woman in the forehead, resulting in a half-inch gash.
  • June 2022 – Harassment Allegations Involving a Minor: A mother and her 12-year-old child in Massachusetts obtained a temporary harassment prevention order against Miller. The family accused the actor of inappropriate behavior, including making the child uncomfortable and brandishing a gun. The order expired in 2023.
  • June 2022 – Grooming Accusations: The parents of Tokata Iron Eyes, a then-18-year-old activist, accused Miller of grooming their child over a period of several years. The family alleged that Miller began manipulating Tokata at age 12 through travel, gifts, and influence. The case sparked widespread controversy, though legal motions were ultimately withdrawn.
  • August 2022 – Felony Burglary Charge: Miller was charged in Vermont for breaking into a neighbor’s home and stealing several bottles of alcohol. He later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor trespassing and was sentenced to one year of probation with conditions including continued mental health treatment.

Miller Claims he was “Targeted”

As a cinephile who’s had the pleasure of interviewing Miller, I can share his perspective on certain accusations – he maintains they’ve been overblown or fabricated altogether.

Following the removal of the Massachusetts restraining order, Miller expressed to Deadline: “I have been unfairly and specifically singled out by someone who, as facts have revealed, possesses a pattern of manipulative and harmful behavior.

Miller also accused the complainant of seeking “tabloid fame” and “personal vengeance.”

He further explained that the legal issues he encountered served as valuable “lessons,” and he openly conveyed feelings of regret and sadness for many actions he took, as well as events that transpired during that particular period.

Industry Uncertainty

Discussions are stirring around Ezra Miller’s comeback in Hollywood, particularly concerning their role in “The Flash”. Despite the film being launched amidst a heated debate, Warner Bros. significantly reduced Miller’s public appearances and experienced internal criticism for persisting in backing the actor.

As a movie enthusiast, I must admit that I was deeply disappointed by the performance of this film at the box office. From its early stages to its final release, it seemed to be plagued with difficulties, leaving many viewers and critics questioning its potential success.

Currently, Miller is gearing up for a new writing opportunity with a renowned director’s support, indicating a potential resumption of his artistic journey. Yet, there are numerous unaddressed issues in the public eye, and opinions remain split – at times even harshly critical.

As a seasoned film critic, I find myself pondering the intriguing prospect of Ezra Miller’s potential comeback in the world of Tinseltown. Whether the silver screen is prepared to welcome him back or if audiences will be open to such a move remains an enigma that can only be unraveled by the passage of time.
