During a promotional interview with Entertainment Weekly on the set of the currently-in-production Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Ezra Miller spoke briefly about his upcoming role as Barry Allen in the DC Extended Universe, and how he’d like to see the character explored.
“Well, [first] it’s going to be a movie,” he said. “I’d like for it to be an exploration of a human being, a multi-dimensional human being, to speak. Wow, I just made such a pun, without meaning to! I’d like the character to have many dimensions. But really, I’d like him to have the usual dimensions we know and love, and then some extra ones that are part of the amazing consideration of this superhero. I hope to realize him as a person, and I think what’s most exciting for me in superhero mythologies is when we feel the humanity of someone who is heroic — or the heroism of someone who is a flawed, deeply human person.”

Miller is set to feature in Zack Snyder’s Justice League Part One in 2017, followed by his own solo movie The Flash in 2018 and Justice League Part Two in 2019. Before then though, we may get our first look at Miller’s Barry Allen next year, with rumours suggesting that he’ll cameo in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
