Grant Gustin from The CW's "The Flash" is out, Ezra Miller is in.

Miller will be playing the new Flash for the DC Comics movie version. Do not worry, Flash fans: The TV series will still continue; the movie will just have a different actor. Gustin and Miller are both making history as LGBT icons.

This might sound like a head scratcher, but the new Flash for the DC movie version was announced this week. Miller, who is an openly gay young man, will be playing the red speedster. Gustin, who stars as the current Flash on The CW, is heterosexual, but he played a gay character on the Fox hit TV show "Glee." "The Flash" movie is part of DC and Warner Bros' fast tracking to get the Justice League in movie theaters. 

Both Miller, 22, and Gustin, 24, have no experience in playing superheroes, but they do know about playing challenging roles. Gustin has done a number of TV projects including "Glee" and "90210," and Miller has starred in two critically acclaimed films: "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and "We Need to Talk About Kevin." Knowing that, Miller could bring a different side to his Flash, which is a stand-alone movie.

It was announced by Warner Bros that they would help to expand the slate of DC Comics' superhero films, BuzzFeed reported. Miller, who has identified himself as "queer," will make history again by playing an LGBT actor in a critical superhero role. "The Flash" is slated for March 23, 2018.

Miller's Flash is expected to appear in the Zack Snyder directed "Justice League Part One," out 2017. Snyder is also directing "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," out 2016, BuzzFeed reported. Miller might appear in "Batman v Superman."

Miller joins the LGBT actors row alongside Sir Ian McKellen, who played Magneto in the "X-Men" movies, as well as Ellen Page, who played Kitty Pride in the "X-Men" movies, the Huffington Post reported.

Miller discussed his sexuality in Out magazine in 2012.

"I have a lot of really wonderful friends who are of very different sexes and genders. I am very much in love with no one in particular. I've been trying to figure out relationships, you know?" Miller said, Out reported.

"I don't know if it's responsible for kids of my age to be so aggressively pursuing monogamous binds, because I don't think we're ready for them. The romanticism within our culture dictates that that's what you're supposed to be looking for," Miller said.

It was Miller's speech impediment that helped him to find himself. Growing up as young child, Miller was teased for his speech problems. But he learned to control his speech problem through opera, Out reported. Miller had a tough time in finding himself.

"I was trying to kiss boys in school," Miller said. Then one of his best friends, with whom he had fooled around with, had turned against him. "He had some macho realization that led him to believe that I was the problem. So I went from having a stutter to being a totally gay little opera singer to being, like, a really confused queer adolescent," Miller said, Out reported.

Nevertheless, Miller has been chosen by Warner Bros to play one of the most iconic superhero characters to date. Miller, as the Flash, has put to rest any further doubt about the TV and film versions joining, Newsarama reported.
