Justice League star Ray Fisher announces he will no longer appear in any DC films produced by Walter Hamada. Fisher joined the DCEU as Victor Stone, aka Cyborg, in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. His appearance there amounted to little more than a cameo, with Zack Snyder's Justice League intended to give Cyborg a bigger origin story and arc. The finished product, largely overseen by Joss Whedon after Snyder departed the project, changed much of what Snyder had planned. This didn't seem like more than a frustrating creative choice until this year, when Fisher came forward with allegations about Whedon's unprofessional behavior on set.
Since his initial comments in July, Fisher has sought accountability for what happened on the set of the Justice League reshoots by pushing for an investigation into Warner Bros.. By Fisher's account, Whedon was rude and abusive, and those within DC Films sought to brush this under the rug. This includes Geoff Johns (whom Fisher has accused of various microaggressions) and Walter Hamada, the current president at DC Films. Hamada in particular, Fisher said, attempted to throw Whedon and Jon Berg under the bus in order to get Fisher to ease up on Johns.
Earlier this month, WarnerMedia concluded its investigation into Whedon's on-set behavior, and though they said remedial action would be taken, Fisher isn't finished with his determination to achieve true accountability. On social media, Fisher linked a recent news piece about Hamada and wrote he is "the most dangerous kind of enabler." Fisher then accused Hamada of lying and working to "undermine the very real issues of the Justice League investigation" with the aid of a statement issued by Warner Bros. in September that made Fisher look to be in the wrong. He then concluded with, "I will not participate in any production associated with him."
Warner Bros.' "failed Sept 4th hit-piece" that Fisher is referring to is a statement the studio issued claiming Fisher wasn't cooperating with the investigation. Fisher was quick to provide proof to the contrary and, at the time, demanded a third party investigator be brought in. Regardless of the results of the investigation (which many people are still struggling to understand), it seems Fisher is still standing by his beliefs and refusing to enable those who wronged him in the past, which includes Hamada.
Fisher's only upcoming DC films are the Snyder Cut of Justice League and, potentially, The Flash. Hamada isn't listed as a producer on The Flash, so Fisher's role in that likely won't be hindered. However, Fisher's new declaration does suggest that his DC future might not go beyond the projects he's already attached to. Hamada recently laid out his future plans for DC releases, which indicates he'll be sticking around for a while. If that's the case, Fisher might not wish to work with DC Films more than he has to. Only time will tell how this impacts any additional Cyborg appearances within the DCEU.
