The upcoming film from director Andy Muschietti (It) has long been dogged by controversy surrounding star Ezra Miller, who has run into one legal issue after another over the last couple of years — most recently pleading to unlawful trespassing in Vermont and accepting one year of probation, along with a $500 fine. But the project is one that new DC studio chiefs James Gunn and Peter Safran are high on, which is said to have the potential to help lay the groundwork for a bigger and better new era of the DCU.
