‘Invincible’ Replaces Ezra Miller’s Character In Season 2 Of Prime Video’s Animated Series

There seems to be a quiet recasting for mad scientist D.A. Sinclair in Season 2 of Prime Video’s Invincible, with Ezra Miller no longer appearing. This decision to recast amidst controversies surrounding Miller, including legal issues and personal challenges. Miller, known for roles in The Flash and Fantastic Beasts, faced legal trouble, pleading guilty to unlawful trespassing in a burglary case in Vermont last year. Additionally, in 2022, they agreed to undergo mental health treatment following a series of run-ins with the law. These factors may have contributed to the decision to recast the role, ensuring a seamless continuation of the series without distractions or controversies surrounding the casting choice.
