Ezra Miller at the Cannes Film Festival on May 12, 2011 Pascal Le Segretain / Getty Images Actor Ezra Miller (The Perks of Being a Wallflower) will play The Flash in Warner Bros. expanding slate of superhero feature films based on DC Comics, the studio announced Wednesday. This makes Miller — who identified himself as queer in an 2012 interview with Out — as the first out LGBT actor to play a major superhero in a feature film. Miller will star in a standalone movie of The Flash in 2018, after presumably appearing in Justice League Part One in 2017 from director by Zack Snyder, who is also helming 2016s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. (This is not to be confused with The CWs TV series The Flash, which stars Grant Gustin, and exists in a separate fictional universe.) Warner Bros. also announced a full slate of feature films based on DC Comics, including a 2020 standalone film for Cyborg, starring Broadway actor Ray Fisher. It is the first time a black actor has headlined his own superhero movie based on a comic book since 2004s Blade: Trinity. The studio also confirmed that Jason Momoa will star in Aquaman in 2018, and a new Green Lantern movie will open in 2020 (although that has no star attached as of now). The full slate of DC Comics films include: • Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, directed by Zack Snyder, opening on March 25, 2016 • Suicide Squad, directed by David Ayer, for 2016 • Wonder Woman, starring Gal Gadot, for 2017 • Justice League Part One, directed by Zack Snyder, with Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, and Amy Adams reprising their roles, for 2017 • The Flash, starring Ezra Miller, for 2018 • Aquaman, starring Jason Momoa, for 2018 • Shazam, for 2019 • Justice League Part Two, directed by Zack Snyder, for 2019 • Cyborg, starring Ray Fisher, for 2020 • Green Lantern, for 2020 Developing… more soon. ift.tt/1Dcteya
