Ezra Miller, known for his role in ‘The Flash’, is planning his return to the screen with the film ‘Die My Love’, directed by Lynne Ramsay. This marks two years since his last performance and three years facing a series of legal issues, which included assault allegations and more. Miller surprised the industry by attending the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in support of Ramsay, whom he considers one of his closest friends and one of the greatest filmmakers today.
Two years away from the spotlight
Director Ramsay revealed in May that Miller will take on the lead role in this new film, described as a vampire movie. In statements to the Italian media Lo Speciale Giornale, Miller mentioned, I’m working with her again. That will probably be the first thing I do, it’s a movie we’re writing together. This focus on collaborative work seems to be a refuge for the actor, who has been writing in solitude as part of his healing process.
Despite his legal and personal issues that culminated in 2022, Miller acknowledges the growth he has achieved as a result of his crisis. In a statement to Entertainment Weekly, the actor expressed being truly grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss. During his turbulent period, he was the subject of previous controversies, including an incident where a video showed him assaulting a woman in Iceland in 2020.
Miller has addressed his mental health issues and the impact on his life, commenting on the lack of support he faced in the film industry. When you work in this industry, you encounter people who don’t care about you at all, he stated, reflecting a sense of regret for his past actions. As he prepares for this new chapter, his relationship with cinema remains “tentative,” although he is hopeful for the future.
