'The Flash' Movie Has Officially Cast Ezra Miller As Lead Role

Though The Flash movie is set to hit theaters sometime in 2018, the studio is already revealing to fans who they have cast as the lead role! Ezra Miller will be playing the lead, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie is still in its infancy, as it does not even have a writer or director.

Warner Bros. chairman Kevin Tsujihara announced during a Time Warner meeting Wednesday, Oct. 14, that the studio will be making the feature film surrounding the Perks of Being a Wallflower actor.

Although the CW television series starring Grant Gustin is the CW's highest-rated opener, it is not affiliated with the theatrical version.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the studio will most likely not be pulling actors from the CW hit.

The film's storyline centers around the adventures of Barry Allen, who wakens from a coma with the ability to move at lightening speed.

Miller, 22 is known for his roles as Vinni in City Island (2009), Elliot Hellman in Another Happy Day (2011) and the titular character We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011), and he recently starred in the 2012 teen drama The Perks of Being a Wallflower with co-stars Logan Lerman and Emma Watson.

Miller is homosexual and has said, "I'm queer" in an Out Magazine interview.

"I have a lot of really wonderful friends who are of very different sexes and genders. I am very much in love with no one in particular," the actor said.

He went on to talk about his take on our current culture's relationships:

"The romanticism within our culture dictates that that's what you're supposed to be looking for. Then [when] we find what we think is love — even if it is love — we do not yet have the tools. I do feel that it's possible to be at this age unintentionally hurtful, just by being irresponsible — which is fine. I'm super down with being irresponsible. I'm just trying to make sure my lack of responsibility no longer hurts people. That's where I'm at in the boyfriend/girlfriend/zefriend type of question."
