Ezra Miller has been missing in action from the big screen ever since 2023’s “The Flash”, but the actor recently revealed that they’re “on tentative grounds” with the idea of returning to the limelight. They’re also working on a vampire movie with “Die My Love” director Lynne Ramsay.

Speaking to the Italian publication Lo Speciale Giornale about their surprising return to the Cannes Film Festival in 2025, Miller said that in terms of their relationship cinema they’re feeling, “Tentative. I’d say on tentative grounds.”
As to why they were at Cannes, Miller said they were there to support Ramsay who famously directed Miller in the acclaimed 2011 drama “We Need to Talk About Kevin”.
“I’m working with [Ramsay] again, that will likely be the first thing I do,” Miller said. “It’s a film that her and I are writing together. I’ve been writing a lot because you can do that in solitude, which has been friendly to me.”
“And I came to Cannes because she asked me to come, and if there’s anything I really still believe in in my life, it’s devotion to one’s people, one’s loved ones … above all else.”
Miller became one of Hollywood’s most controversial figures in 2022 after a long list of legal troubles arose. Even earlier than that, back in 2020, Miller’s behavior was raising alarms when a video surfaced that appeared to show them choking a woman in a bar.
Before those controversies arose, Miller’s star was on the rise, with the “Perks of Being a Wallflower” star attached to two huge (though later defunct) blockbuster Warner Bros. franchises: the DCEU and JK Rowling’s “Fantastic Beasts”.
Miller ultimately apologized for their behavior and promised to seek treatment for their “complex mental health issues.”
Speaking about what happened, Miller said, “When you work in this industry, you will find yourself in deep relation with a lot of people who do not give a single f–k about you or your well being at all.”
“And so, not that I don’t hold a lot of remorse or lamentation for a lot of things that I did and a lot of things that happened in that time, but I’m really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss.”
