DC just dropped a bunch of trailers for upcoming movies (Batman, Black Adam, recut Justice League, new Suicide Squad). Kind of interesting to watch them and see the faces that pop out.
Amber Heard - Domestic abuser
Ezra Miller - Recently choke-slammed a girl
James Gunn - sketchy pedophilia comment history
I fully understand they can't cut Flash, and Gunn is a desperate, last-ditch effort to inject GotG style fun into their moribund universe. But surely in a movie that was being made specifically for recut scenes they could have ditched ones with the sociopathic abuser?
Maybe DC are just taking a "fuck cancel culture, we'll use anyone that we want" stance, in which case, more power to them, even if their choice is assholes. I'm not going to be too surprised though if it simply ends up with them being massive hypocrites.
Ezra Miller is a massive SJW too. He did a press interview with Gal Gadot promoting Justice League and at the end he tried to get her to look into the camera and denounce the patriarchy. He was fairly forceful about it too. She didn't do it and looked really uncomfortable with it like she couldn't get away from him fast enough.
Morbid curiosity. Do you have a link?
This isn't the full interview, but the part I was talking about. It's a little different than I remember since I had only seen it once but still.
