    Ray Fisher Reacts to Being Removed From 'The Flash' Movie

    by

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    The actor who plays Cyborg in ‘Justice League’ says he doesn’t mind being dropped from the Speedster movie if it could help to ‘bring awareness and accountability to Walter Hamada’s actions.’

    Jan 15, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Ray Fisher has penned a lengthy tweet to fans, confirming that his character Cyborg has been written out of standalone “Justice League” movie “The Flash”.
    Last summer (20), Fisher had been offered the opportunity to reprise his part for a cameo in “The Flash”, but he has since clashed with studio executives at Warner Bros., who are developing the DC Comics film, after accusing director Joss Whedon of misconduct on the set of 2017’s “Justice League”, which he completed when Zack Snyder had to step down.
    An internal investigation was launched, but Fisher refused to co-operate, and last month (Dec20), he slammed DC Films President Walter Hamada, branding him, “the most dangerous kind of enabler” – even though he was not employed by the firm or involved in Justice League when it was originally released.

    In his address to fans on Wednesday (13Jan21), Fisher said that while he is upset that he won’t be able to reprise his role in the film, “bringing awareness to the actions of Walter Hamada will prove to be a much more important contribution to our world.”
    He went on to make new claims of Hamada’s “interference” in the internal investigation, including allegations that he tried to shield his former co-president Geoff Johns from allegations of misconduct, continuing, “I maintain that Walter Hamada is unfit for a position of leadership. And I am willing, at any point, to submit to a polygraph test to support my claims against him. I don’t know how many instances of workplace abuse Walter has attempted to cover in the past. But hopefully the Justice League investigation will be the last.”
    Fisher concluded, “And if the end of my time as Cyborg is the cost for helping to bring awareness and accountability to Walter Hamada’s actions – I’ll pay it gladly.”
    Hamada, Warner Bros. and DC Films have yet to respond to Fisher’s allegations.

      Studio Bosses Slam Ray Fisher's Claims That There's 'Interference' in 'Justice League' Investigation

      by

      WENN

      Bosses at Warner Brothers insist DC Films President Walter Hamada never interfered with the internal investigation into the misconduct allegations made by the Cyborg star.

      Jan 15, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Warner Bros. studio bosses are standing by DC Films president Walter Hamada following “Justice League” star Ray Fisher’s latest comments attacking the producer.
      Fisher took to Twitter on Wednesday (13Jan21) to confirm his Cyborg character had been written out of standalone superhero movie “The Flash” after he was approached last summer (20) to reprise his “Justice League” role for a small part in the upcoming blockbuster.
      He claimed Hamada and company officials had been responsible for pushing him out of “The Flash”, and made new allegations of “interference” in the internal investigation conducted by Warner Bros. officials into his accusations of misconduct against producer Geoff Johns and director Joss Whedon on the set of 2017’s “Justice League”, which he completed when Zack Snyder had to step down.
      Fisher declined to participate in the investigation, and on the heels of his latest social media rant, WarnerMedia chiefs have declared their continued support and faith in both Johns and Hamada.

      “As has been previously stated, an extensive investigation was conducted by an outside law firm, led by a former federal judge who has assured WarnerMedia that there were no impediments to the investigation,” WarnerMedia representatives stated to TheWrap.com.
      “Last summer, Mr. Fisher was offered the opportunity to reprise his role as Cyborg in The Flash. Given his statement that he will not participate in any film associated with Mr. Hamada, our production is now moving on.”
      “Warner Bros. remains in business with Geoff Johns who continues to produce Stargirl, Batwoman, Doom Patrol, Superman & Lois, and Titans for the studio, among other projects.”
      In a separate statement from Ann Sarnoff, chair and CEO of WarnerMedia Studios and Networks Group, she added, “I believe in Walter Hamada and that he did not impede or interfere in the investigation.”
      “Furthermore, I have full confidence in the investigation’s process and findings. Walter is a well-respected leader, known by his colleagues, peers, and me as a man of great character and integrity. As I said in Walter’s recent deal extension announcement, I’m excited about where he’s taking DC Films and look forward to working with him and the rest of the team to build out the DC Multiverse.”

      Ray Fisher Dropped From 'The Flash' Movie After He Criticizes DC Boss

      by

      Warner Bros. Pictures

      The Cyborg depicter has been written out of the upcoming DC Speedster standalone movie following the actor’s outburst against DC Films President Walter Hamada.

      Jan 7, 2021
      AceShowbiz – “The Flash” bosses have reportedly had “Justice League” star Ray Fisher’s Cyborg character written out of the upcoming standalone movie, following his public resignation from the role.
      Last summer (20), Fisher had been offered the opportunity to reprise his part for a cameo in “The Flash”, but he has since clashed with studio executives at Warner Bros., who are developing the DC Comics film, after accusing director Joss Whedon of misconduct on the set of 2017’s “Justice League”, which he completed when Zack Snyder had to step down.
      An internal investigation was launched, but Fisher refused to co-operate, and last week (30Dec20), he slammed DC Films President Walter Hamada, branding him, “the most dangerous kind of enabler” – even though he was not employed by the firm or involved in “Justice League” when it was originally released.
      Fisher then declared, “I will not participate in any production associated with him. A >E (Accountability >Entertainment).”

      Hamada is currently overseeing work on “The Flash”, and it appears producers have taken note of Fisher’s outburst and had the storyline reworked to exclude an appearance by Cyborg, according to The Wrap.
      The character will not be recast.
      Fisher previously returned as Cyborg for reshoots for the “Justice League Snyder Cut”, an extended version of the director’s original vision, which will premiere this spring on U.S. streaming service HBO Max.
      Meanwhile, “The Flash” will feature two familiar faces reprising their roles as Bruce Wayne/Batman – both “Justice League” ‘s Ben Affleck and former Caped Crusader Michael Keaton will suit up for the blockbuster, which will introduce audiences to the multiverse, in which different versions of the same characters exist in alternate, co-existing realities.
      Andy Muschietti is directing “The Flash”, which is set for release in November 2022.

      Ray Fisher Slams 'Dangerous' DC Films President, Says He'll Never Work With Him

      by

      WENN/FayesVision

      The tension between Fisher and Warner Bros. started after Fisher, who plays Cyborg in DC superhero movies, alleged unprofessional conduct on the set of ‘Justice League’ back in July.

      Dec 31, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Fans seemingly won’t see Ray Fisher’s Cyborn in DC’s upcoming movie “Justice League”. The actor took to Twitter on Wednesday, December 30 to put DC Films president Walter Hamada on blast, calling him “the most dangerous kind of enabler.”
      “His lies, and WB PR’s failed Sept 4th hit-piece, sought to undermine the very real issues of the Justice League investigation,” Fisher wrote on the blue bird alongside a link to Hamada’s Sunday interview with the New York Times. Later, he vowed that he “will not participate in any production associated with him,” before adding, “A >E,” which refers to “Accountability >Entertainment.”

      Ray Fisher blasted DC Film president Walter Hamada.
      The tension between Fisher and Warner Bros. started after Fisher alleged unprofessional conduct on the set of “Justice League” back in July. “Joss Wheadon’s [sic] on-set treatment of the cast and crew of Justice League was gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable,” he tweeted at the time.

      In response to the allegations, WarnerMedia released a statement on the evening of the Friday of Labor Day weekend. “In July, Ray Fisher’s representatives asked DC Films President Walter Hamada to talk to Mr. Fisher about his concerns during the production of Justice League. The two had previously spoken when Mr. Hamada asked him to reprise his role as Cyborg in Warner Bros.’ upcoming Flash movie, together with other members of the Justice League,” said the statement.
      “Notably, Mr. Hamada also told Mr. Fisher that he would elevate his concerns to WarnerMedia so they could conduct an investigation. At no time did Mr. Hamada ever ‘throw anyone under the bus,’ as Mr. Fisher has falsely claimed, or render any judgments about the Justice League production, in which Mr. Hamada had no involvement, since filming occurred before Mr. Hamada was elevated to his current position,” the statement continued.
      The studio added, “While Mr. Fisher never alleged any actionable misconduct against him, WarnerMedia nonetheless initiated an investigation into the concerns he’d raised about his character’s portrayal. Still not satisfied, Mr. Fisher insisted that WarnerMedia hire an independent third party investigator.” It also denied not reaching out to Fisher about the investigation, saying, “This investigator has attempted multiple times to meet with Mr. Fisher to discuss his concerns but, to date, Mr. Fisher has declined to speak to the investigator.”
      Fisher reprised his Cyborg role in the extra shoots of Zack Snyder’s “Justice League” 10-episode cut, which is scheduled to hit HBO Max next year. Additionally, he participated in the DC Fandome panel for the feature recut and was in talks to return as Cyborg in the upcoming “The Flash” movie. It remains to be seen if things will go as planned considering the tension.

      Ray Fisher Grateful for Fans' Support as 'Justice League' Investigation Concludes

      by

      WENN

      The Cyborg actor thanks fans for their support as movie studio Warner Bros. has concluded inquiry into his accusations of director Joss Whedon’s alleged misconduct.

      Dec 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Justice League” star Ray Fisher has thanked fans for their support after Warner Bros. announced it had concluded its enquiry into accusations of abusive conduct by the film’s director Joss Whedon.
      Back in July (20), Fisher aired his grievances against the filmmaker during reshoots for the film, accusing him of “abusive and unprofessional” behaviour.
      The Cyborg actor’s claims prompted a misconduct investigation into Whedon, Geoff Johns, and Jon Berg, producers of the 2017 flick.

      And months after he spoke up about alleged abuse during 2017 reshoots of “Justice League” and aired claims that sparked a public row between the star and studio Warner Bros., WarnerMedia has concluded an investigation into Fisher’s allegations.
      “WarnerMedia’s investigation into the Justice League movie has concluded and remedial action has been taken,” WarnerMedia said in a brief statement on Friday (11Dec20) night, reported The Hollywood Reporter. No details were provided of what actions were taken.
      Fisher shared his own cautious statement on Twitter shortly after, writing, “There are still conversations that need to be had and resolutions that need to be found. Thank you all for your support and encouragement on this journey. We are on our way.”
      Last month (Nov20) Whedon announced he was stepping down from “The Nevers”, a series he was working on with WarnerMedia’s HBO, saying in a statement, “I am genuinely exhausted, and am stepping back to martial my energy towards my own life, which is also at the brink of exciting change.”

      Ray Fisher Reacts After 'Justice League' Investigation Concludes With 'Remedial Action' Taken

      by

      Instagram

      The Cyborg depicter relays a message from Warner Media addressing the conclusion of its investigation into the actor’s allegations of abusive behavior against director Joss Whedon.

      Dec 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ray Fisher has scored a victory following months-long back and forth between him and Joss Whedon regarding his allegations of toxic work environment on the set of “Justice League”. Warner Bros. launched an investigation into the actor’s claims and on Friday, December 11, it announced that it has concluded the investigation.
      “WarnerMedia’s investigation into the Justice League movie has concluded and remedial action has been taken,” the studio said in a statement, while remaining tight-lipped on the findings and the repercussion to those involved in the allegations. Fisher, however, believed that Whedon’s recent exit from HBO’s “The Nevers” had something to do with the investigation.
      Meanwhile, Fisher seemed to be rather pleased with the results. Relaying a message he received from Warner Media, he tweeted, “The following was relayed to me on behalf of @WarnerMedia at 5pm EST today: – The investigation of Justice League is now complete.”
      “It has lead to remedial action (Some we’ve seen, and some that is still to come),” read the second point. “And this statement (which truly belongs to ALL who participated in the investigation): ‘WarnerMedia appreciates you having the courage to come forward and assist the company with creating an inclusive and equitable work environment for it’s employees and partners.’ ”

      Regardless the conclusion of the investigation, the Cyborg depicter said, “There are still conversations that need to be had and resolutions that need to be found.” He expressed his gratitude to those who have been supporting him as writing, “Thank you all for your support and encouragement on this journey,” before concluding with, “We are on our way. More soon.”

      Ray Fisher reacted to end of ‘Justice League’ investigation.
      Fisher first came with the allegations against Whedon, who took over the directing role from Zack Snyder during the pre-production of “Justice League”, in July. In an interview with Forbes, he claimed to have heard “blatantly racist conversations” among studio executives. He also complained about “massive blowups, threats, coercion, taunting, unsafe work conditions, belittling, and gaslighting like you wouldn’t believe” on the set.
      Jason Momoa, Fisher’s co-star in the 2017 movie, publicly supported the 33-year-old actor and demanded proper investigation into Fisher’s claims. “THIS S**T HAS TO STOP AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT @ray8fisher AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO EXPERIENCED WHAT HAPPEN UNDER THE WATCH OF @wbpictures NEEDS PROPER INVESTIGATION,” he tweeted in September, before confirming Fisher’s claims about “the s**tty way we were treated on Justice League reshoots.”

      'Justice League' Helmer Joss Whedon Calls Ray Fisher's Claim of Altering Actor's Skin Color 'False'

      by

      WENN/FayesVision

      The cyborg depicter has detailed an alleged instance which prompted him to speak out about Whedon, saying that he heard ‘blatantly racist conversations’ among studio executives.

      Oct 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Justice League” director Joss Whedon has denied Ray Fisher’s latest allegation that he digitally altered the skin tone of a person of color in the movie. In a statement released through his spokesperson, the filmmaker labeled the claim as “false.”
      “The individual who offered this statement acknowledged that this was just something that he had heard from someone else and accepted as truth, when in fact simple research would prove that it was false,” Whedon said in the statement.
      Explaining the editing process of a movie, “The Avengers” helmer continued, “As is standard on almost all films, there were numerous people involved with mixing the final product, including the editor, special effects person, composer, etc. with the senior colorist responsible for the final version’s tone, colors, and mood.”
      “This process was further complicated on this project by the fact that [original director] Zack [Snyder] shot on film, while Joss shot on digital, which required the team, led by the same senior colorist who has worked on previous films for Zack, to reconcile the two,” the statement claimed.
      But Fisher stands firm on his claim. In response to Whedon’s denial, the Cyborg depicter said in a statement to CinemaBlend, “This is only a hair’s breadth away from Berg’s, ‘Fisher was upset about booyah’ defense.”

      “I’ve been trying my best to make sure that Joss Whedon and Jon Berg aren’t able to be thrown completely under the bus by the other guys. But when they make these half baked knee-jerk excuses publicly, they make my job a lot harder. I’m settling in with my family for the night,” he said, before promising, “I’ll have a more in-depth response tomorrow.”
      Previously, Fisher elaborated his allegations of toxic work environment which he first raised against Whedon in July. In an interview with Forbes, he claimed to have heard “blatantly racist conversations” among studio executives.
      “What set my soul on fire and forced me to speak out about Joss Whedon this summer was my becoming informed that Joss had ordered that the complexion of an actor of color be changed in post-production because he didn’t like the color of their skin tone,” the 33-year-old actor said. “Man, with everything 2020’s been, that was the tipping point for me.”
      The magazine noted that multiple actors of color had their parts heavily reduced or completely cut from the film’s theatrical release, including Ryan Choi’s Zheng Kai and Kiersey Clemons’ Iris West. In response to this, Whedon’s representatives said that these decisions were made prior to him leading the project.
      But Fisher said that “race was just one of the issues with the reshoot process.” He also complained about “massive blowups, threats, coercion, taunting, unsafe work conditions, belittling, and gaslighting like you wouldn’t believe” on the set.
      Warner Bros. has since launched an internal investigation regarding Fisher’s claims, though the studio claimed that Fisher was not cooperative with a third-party investigator.

      Ray Fisher to Join Zack Snyder for 'Justice League' Reshoot Despite Dispute With Studio Bosses

      by

      WENN

      The Cyborg actor is set to reunite with the original ‘Justice League’ director for a weeklong filming in October to complete the superhero movie’s extended cut.
      Sep 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ray Fisher will reportedly return for reshoots Zack Snyder is filming to complete a “Justice League” extended cut despite his dispute with Warner Bros. chiefs.
      The actor starred as Cyborg in the 2017 superhero film, which was completed by stand-in director Joss Whedon after Snyder left the set due to family tragedy.
      In June, Fisher accused Whedon of of “gross, abusive, unprofessional and completely unacceptable” behaviour during the production which he alleges Warner Bros. and WarnerMedia chiefs enabled.
      However, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Fisher is set to be on the call sheet for a week-long shoot scheduled for October (20), which will allow Snyder to turn existing footage into a four-episode limited series.

      Ben Affleck who played Batman in the movie, Henry Cavill who starred as Superman, and “Wonder Woman” actress Gal Gadot are also reportedly set to don their costumes again to film new scenes.
      Fisher first revealed his dissatisfaction with his experiences on set in June during which he alleged producers Geoff Johns and Jon Berg enabled Whedon’s “abusive” behaviour. Both executives have since left Warner.
      The actor has since engaged in a war of words with Warner Bros. reps over an official probe into the allegations after they claimed he was failing to co-operate with investigators – which he denied, producing an email backing up his version of events. His co-star Jason Momoa has also backed his co-star in the dispute, writing on Instagram that “people need to be held accountable” over Fisher’s allegations.
      Meanwhile, the Cyborg star is also reportedly in talks with Warner Bros. execs to make a cameo in spinoff movie “The Flash”.

      Ray Fisher Claps Back at Studio Bosses as He Denies Being Uncooperative in Joss Whedon Investigation

      by

      WENN

      The Cyborg depicter has fired back at Warner Brothers, accusing the studio bosses of smear campaign and denying being uncooperative in Whedon misconduct investigation.
      Sep 7, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actor Ray Fisher has clapped back at claims from Warner Bros. bosses that he’s not cooperating with an investigation into misconduct claims he made “Justice League” director Joss Whedon.
      Back in July (20), Fisher aired his grievances against the filmmaker, accusing him of “abusive and unprofessional” behaviour.
      The Cyborg actor’s claims have since caused Warner Bros. to launch a misconduct investigation into Whedon and Geoff Johns and Jon Berg, producers of the 2017 flick.
      According to a statement released by studio executives, Fisher has not been cooperating with an independent third party investigator, who was hired at his request – allegations he’s refuted.
      Taking to social media, the star hit back at the company’s statement while thanking fans on Twitter for their continued support.
      “Thank you all for the support and for seeing through @wbpictures desperate and scattershot attempt to discredit me to continue protecting those in power. I met with the investigator via Zoom on Aug 26th. Below is an email I sent to my team and @sagaftra immediately after,” Ray tweeted on Saturday.
      In the email that Ray sent to his team, he said that he ended the interview early because he felt he needed to consult with his team before proceeding with the call.
      Ray added, “It’s also worth noting that I made it clear to the world on Aug 21st that I would be vetting the investigator to ensure a fair and protected process for all witnesses. @wbpictures has escalated this to an entirely different level, but I’m ready to meet the challenge.”
      Officials from the studio have yet to respond to Fisher’s latest comments.
