What it Would Take for Ray Fisher To Play Cyborg In The Flash Movie

Ray Fisher finally reveals what it would take for him to play Cyborg in The Flash movie. The feud between Warner Bros. and Fisher has been long, complicated, and messy. Nobody in this situation has really emerged unscathed or undamaged. Even after Warner Bros.’s investigation, the issue at hand still has not been fully resolved. Due to this strained relationship, both Fisher and Warner Bros. have confirmed that Cyborg will no longer be returning for any future DC films.

This all started last summer when Fisher announced on Twitter that Whedon has been abusive on the set of Justice League. He also mentioned former DC president Geoff Johns and producer Jon Berg as problematic constituents akin to Whedon. Eventually, he even included DC Films President Walter Hamada in these accusations. At the time, Warner Bros. denied such accusations. However, only a few months later, Fisher started talking about “blatantly racist conversations” held by the WB executives. This forced the studio to hire a third-party judge to investigate these claims. Unfortunately, Fisher then went on to accuse Hamada of interfering with the investigation. Warner Bros. has continued to deny such allegations.

Still, according to Fisher, he would be willing to make amends with Warner Bros if it meant that he could return to play Cyborg in The Flash movie coming out next year. In a recent interview at Justice Con, Fisher was asked what exactly it would take for him to play the Cyborg character again. As it turns out, he still wants some accountability from the studio stating the following:

“I think where we can start is an acknowledgment, an apology, of what is clearly publicly known to be an issue… I think that’s where the accountability begins.”

This Justice League fallout and the claims made by Fisher continue to paint Warner Bros. in a bad light. Both parties are eager to move on but according to Fisher, that cannot be done until Warner Bros. publically apologizes. This is not likely to happen since Fisher is still largely an unknown name. It would be pretty historical if a major Hollywood studio bowed to the demands of a novice by airing their own wrongdoings in the process. If Fisher’s claims are true, then someone should be held accountable. But with the investigation over, finding Warner Bros. to be innocent, nothing is going to be happening for a while.

If Cyborg were to appear in The Flash, then perhaps the Snyderverse could live on in some way. Snyder may no longer be asked to return to the DCEU but some of his characters and original plans may live on regardless. Reportedly, Cyborg was initially supposed to have a major role in The Flash so his absence could alter whatever plans DC originally had for the movie. Nevertheless, this is still an ongoing story so look out for more news on the situation.
