10 Actors Who Could Replace Ezra Miller As The Flash

Maze Runner alum Dylan O'Brien's star status has been steadily rising over the last eight years. His first notable job in acting was in 2010 as Clever Trevor in the high school drama Sweety High. The following year, O'Brien made the most of an opportunity when he was cast as Stiles in the MTV series Teen Wolf. He then took the wacky sidekick role and transformed Stiles into an emotionally investable character.

This led to O'Brien's biggest role to date, that of Thomas in the Maze Runner trilogy. Dylan is another example of a young actor who can flow seamlessly between moments of grave intensity to moments of stammering silliness... kind of like Ezra Miller's Flash. For a great example of this, see his performance as lead character Joel in 2020's Love and Monsters.

After starring in Maze Runner and voicing Bumblebee, O'Brien could score a franchise hat trick with the DC Extended Universe. There is also one major advantage that he has over the other entrants in this list. Reports have already been circulating that Dylan O'Brien is on the Warner Bros./DC short list of actors to replace ,Ezra Miller as The Flash.
