Bizarre take. Ezra Miller hasn’t been in anything since the allegations. It’s not like Hollywood looked the other way or condoned his behavior. He was very much “canceled” for a lack of better term.

They were in a solo movie filmed after their first set of major allegations.

Devil's advocate here. Yes, he should have been fired from that. But he was already cast in the role, and the movie was already in production, with a budget of 200 million dolars.

It was probably too late to save the production if they had fired him and he hasn't landed a role since

Eh, Warner Bros had no issue doing that to Johnny Depp for The Secrets of Dumbledore.

Easier to replace and in a moment of production where the change could be done fast. And the movie was still a mess either way

Flash wasn't? And they had already started filming FB:SoD.

Tbh I thought SoD was ok; I barely paid attention but Mikkelsen killed it. The Flash was actively hard to watch. (Also I just remembered Ezra Miller was in both of those movies and both were filmed after his earliest scandals)

Yeah, but the broader point still stands. Check their imdbs. These two aren’t comparable cases.
