While Invincible has returned for the second half of its second season, it latest episode has revealed one cast member has not come back. The Flash star Ezra Miller has been replaced for season two by X-Men ’97‘s Eric Bauza.
Miller starred in season one of Invincible as D.A. Sinclair, a genius who was revealed to be turning people into cyborgs in an effort to improve and strengthen humanity. Sinclair was defeated by Invincible and his team and made his return in the series’ March 28th episode ‘I’m Not Going Anywhere’ where Bauza made his debut in the role.
No reason has been given by Amazon Studios or the Invincible team for the recast, but it is likely due to the many controversies and legal problems Miller has found themselves in over the last few years. In 2020 a video surfaced of them seemingly choking a female fan, in 2022 they were arrested twice while staying in Hawaii for harassment and assault and they were charged with breaking and entering and theft into their neighbour’s home among other scandals.
Aside from his role as The Flash in the DC Extended Universe, Miller is also known for the Harry Potter prequel series Fantastic Beasts and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
