One of the studio's biggest stars has made headlines for alleged criminal behavior.
According to a report from the Vermont State Police, the actor who plays Barry Allen in the DC Extended Universe has been charged with a felony in Vermont.
There were missing bottles of alcohol from a local residence. According to the report, they were issued a citation on Sunday to appear in Vermont Superior Court on Sept. 26 to face charges.
There has been a pattern of disturbing behavior and allegations of misconduct that goes back to at least 2020. Hours before their court appearance in April for these charges, Miller was arrested again after an altercation in which they were accused of throwing a chair and injuring a woman.
In the last few months, two orders of protection have been granted, one for a 12-year-old in Massachusetts and the other for an 18-year-old Standing Rock activist who was groomed by Miller.
Miller has been accused of housing a 25-year-old woman and her three children under the age of five in his ranch. According to a report from Rolling Stone, the property is an unlicensed cannabis farm and has guns on it.
It is almost a year before Warner Bros. is scheduled to release a $100 million film called "The Flash", which is a part of the DC franchise.
Warner Bros. Discovery's CEO praised the film during an earnings call last week.
During the call, Zaslav said that there were some great DC movies coming up. All of those are being worked on by us. They are very excited about them. They have been seen by us. They are terrific.
The company remained quiet during Miller's previous assault arrests earlier this year, but sources within the company said emergency meetings were held in April to discuss their recent controversies.
During its presentation at CinemaCon in April, the studio teased the film, suggesting that it would be released next year.
CNBC asked representatives for the company if they would respond.
The studio was criticized for shelving the film because of Miller's latest run-in with the law.
The decision to abandon the film was a bad one. Following the merger of Warner Bros. and Discovery, the move was done to cut costs.
The former WarnerMedia CEO, who prioritized streaming and digital media, was replaced by David Zaslav at Warner Bros. Discovery.
The new CEO doesn't want the company to spend a lot of money on big budget films only to have them debut on streaming
