Michael Shannon, who reprises his role as General Zod in DC’s upcoming film, The Flash, recently shared his thoughts on the controversy surrounding co-star Ezra Miller. Miller took a plea deal in January after being charged with burglary and petty larceny, and also issued a public apology. However, Miller has been surrounded by legal issues dating back to 2020. Despite this, DC’s new co-CEOs have yet to make an official decision regarding Miller’s future with the company.

Shannon’s Response To The Controversy

During an interview with Vanity Fair, Shannon was asked about the drama surrounding DC and if it had affected him while working on The Flash. Shannon mentioned that while he was aware of the “issues,” he did not keep a close eye on everything. Shannon went on to praise Miller, stating that they were “very kind” to him during filming.

While acknowledging that discussing the situation was difficult, Shannon added that he gives people a lot of slack in the entertainment industry, recognizing that some people have issues and that some have more privacy than others. Shannon then expanded his comments to address anyone in the spotlight who was being picked on, stating that it was a horrible situation.

Putting Drama Aside And Focusing On The Film

Despite the controversy surrounding Miller, Shannon chose to focus on his professional relationship with Miller during filming. While some fans may not appreciate Shannon’s decision to give Miller “a lot of slack,” the fact remains that everyone makes mistakes. Shannon’s ability to put any drama aside that did not occur on the set of The Flash allowed him to maintain a professional relationship with Miller.

The Flash is set to be released in theaters on June 16, and while controversy may surround the film, Shannon’s response highlights the importance of professionalism and treating others with kindness and understanding.
