Ray Fisher has been dismissed from acting in “The Flash” completely. Even though Warner Bros. wishes to be done with this debacle for good, Fisher still refuses to let this situation go unwrapped. He still holds the studio accountable for how he and other alleged individuals were mistreated on the set of “Justice League”‘s reshoots back in 2017.
Cyborg (also known as Victor Stone) was supposed to be something major for Fisher when he was hired by Zack Snyder to become part of the DC Extended Universe. The actor made a small appearance in “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice” and had a larger role in “Justice League”.
Apparently, Fisher stated that WarnerMedia’s investigation actually found evidence of the “racist, coercive, discriminatory, and retaliatory” behaviour of Geoff Johns. From what we understand, DC wasn’t going to cut their long decade bond with Johns sooner or later. But for the actor himself, he has finally had enough with Hamada. Fisher will feel relieved once he leaves the role of Cyborg and he can finally move on.
Fisher still kept his stance, that Hamada is “unfit” to be a leader. Moreover, he is still willing to submit a polygraph test to support his claims against him. The actor doesn’t know the number of times Walter had refused to acknowledge his workplace abuse as a cover-up for his past deeds. To Fisher, the investigation on “Justice League” will hopefully be the last of it.
Warner Bros’ deciding to remove Fisher alongside his character Cyborg from “The Flash” is not even remotely surprising due to recent events. While the actor stated that he would avoid working with Hamada, Warner Bros. Studios still intends to keep Hamada and lead the DCEU. No matter how many times Fisher tries to take down Hamada, the major studio will continue to back him up for now.
Now the question is, who is gonna replace Fisher as Cyborg? Will the franchise just kill him off without any detailed explanation or reasoning?
Fisher will make his final appearance as Victor Stone and his hero counterpart Cyborg in the upcoming Snyder cut of the “Justice League” film, which will premiere sometime around March 2021.
