Thank you for everyone who has submited a list. I recieved over 20+ list. The countdown will begin shortly

“I am still surprised some people here just don't get how much legal trouble Miller is in. I think that Miller is through as the FLash is pretty clear; and I doubt They will be getting many offers for leader roles for quite a while. They are in RDJ territory with their latest stunt.” I fixed it for you. i think most here expect that Ezra’s career will be on hold. Hollywood won’t be casted Ezra in anytime soon. I don’t think most people are expecting them to continually get roles.

The problem Ezra is the lead and probably in pretty much every sense. They are in pretty much every scene. It might be easy if Ezra is in their flash outfit most the movie so it might be easy to recast them since you could just reuse those scenes. but still recast them and getting everyone back would add huge additional cost. I am sure WB is trying to think about what to do.

Lots of hateful people in the chat. There no excuse to purposefully misgender someone. Even if they commit crimes that doesn’t give you right to be an asshole. Members here identify as non binary and use “they/them” pronouns. Using the correct pronouns is sign of respect for your the community. I don’t get why “hearing the words they/them” trigger people.

Not sure about Dune. During the 5 era is there a movie that was nominated for best picture with no acting and directing nominations.
