'The Flash'👍 🔥director Andy Muschietti would welcome Ezra Miller back in the titular role if there is ever a sequel.

Insisting that no one can play the DC supe🐽rhero better than Miller, the filmmaker would have the 30-year-old star back in a flash despite the fact they were arrested multiple times last year, re൲ports aceshowbiz.com.

"If (a sequel) happens, yes. I don't think there's anyone that can play that character as well as th🉐ey did. The other depictions of the character are great, but this particular vision of the character, they just excelled in doing it. And, as you said, the two Barrys - 𝓰it feels like a character that was made for them," Muschietti said when appearing on "The Discourse".

Producer Barbara Muschietti added: "In principal photography, Ezra wasཧ brilliant and the most committed and the most professional (actor). Ezra gave everything for this role - 👍physically, creatively, emotionally. They were absolutely supreme."

Their comm🏅ents come after Miller's co-star Michael Shannon admitted he "feels for" the troubled star. The 48-year-old actor plays DC's villainous General Zod in "The Flash".

And when asked about the controversy surrounding the movie, Shannon told Vanity Fair, "If you're talking about Ezra (Miller), I thought Ezra was lovely - very kind to me when I was there. It's difficult to talk about, but I always give people a lot of slack in this business, because the💙re's a lot of people in this busi��ness that have issues."

"And some people have more privacy than others. Any time somebod꧙y is out in the spotlight getting picked on, I feel for them. Even if it's warranted, it's still a horrible situation."

Miller - who goes by t🔯hey/them pronouns - has previously been hit with allega🦋tions of grooming after the parents of Native American activist Tokota Iron Eyes, 18, filed a protection order against the actor.

Miller wa🥀s also arrested twice in Hawaii in March last year and charged with disorderly conduct and second-degree assault. They were accused of shouting and swearing at customers as they sang karaoke at a bar, as well as grabbing a microphone from a 23-year-old woman.

Miller pleaded no contest to one count of disorderly conduct෴ and paid a $500 fine over the incident.

A married couple also took out a restraining order against them after Miller burst into their bedroom and threate🌌ned to kill them then left, stealing her passport and his wallet.

And in April 2022, the🍷 star was accused of throwing a chair at a 26-year-old woman and hitting her at a private party. A video of Miller appearing to choke a woman at a bar in Reykjavik, Iceland, also surfaced in April 2020, but did not result in any charges.
