Ezra Miller says their return to Hollywood has been “tough” after the numerous allegations against them. Miller, who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, was accused of abusing two children — one who was 12 at the time the alleged abuse started, and another who was 12 at the time allegations were made. However, no criminal charges were filed against Miller.
Miller issued an apology statement in 2022 and announced they were seeking mental health treatment. After a harassment order filed by one of the children’s parents was lifted in 2023, Miller shared they are doing their “best” to “preserve their own wellness” while working to “reverse the collateral damage” of the accusations, claiming they had been “unjustly and directly targeted.”

Miller most recently led “The Flash,” released in 2023 by Warner Bros. Discovery, with Miller appearing at the film‘s premiere.
After breaking out at Cannes with films like “Afterschool” and “We Need to Talk About Kevin,” Miller returned to the festival in 2025 to attend the premiere of collaborator Lynne Ramsay‘s “Die My Love.” Miller told Lo Speciale Giornale (in the video below) while at Filming Italy Sardegna that being at Cannes was a “tough re-entry point” into Hollywood.
“Not that I don’t hold a lot of remorse and lamentation for a lot of things I did and a lot of things that happened in that time, but I’m really, really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss,” Miller said, adding that they “didn’t necessarily want to go to Cannes” and “had a bit of a hard time” being there. “I came to Cannes to support one of my closest friends in the world, who is Lynne Ramsay — who I think is one of the greatest living filmmakers. […] If you’ve been in the woods for three years, I do not recommend going straight to Cannes. But yeah, I did that for Lynne. I would do anything for Lynne.”
Miller and their “We Need to Talk About Kevin” director Ramsay are set to reunite for a vampire movie, with Miller co-writing. “I’m working with her again, that will likely be the first thing I do, is a film that her and I are writing together,” Miller said. “I’ve been writing a lot, because you can do that in solitude, which has been friendly to me.”
They added, “I came to Cannes because she asked me to come, and if there’s anything I really still believe in in my life, it’s devotion to one’s people, one’s loved ones, above all else.”
Ramsay previously announced the yet-untitled vampire project in a recent interview with The Los Angeles Times. “I’m making a vampire movie,” Ramsay said. “It’s with Ezra Miller who was in ‘Kevin.’ He’s the main character. That’s in development.”
Ramsay teased that in total, she has “three scripts” in the works, all at different stages.
