Ray Fisher's Cyborg Reportedly Being Written Out Of 'The Flash'

The public relations fight between Ray Fisher and Warner Bros. reached another crescendo today with the news that Fisher’s character Victor “Cyborg” Stone has reportedly been written out of the upcomingFlashmovie. The original plan was forFisher to appear in the film as Cyborg in a cameo appearance, but that’s reportedly been shelved.

This follows a tweet by Fisheron December 30, where he referred to DC Films president Walter Hamada as “the most dangerous kind of enabler,” vowing to not participate in any production associated with him. This appears to have ended Fisher’s involvement with DC Films in general.

Fisher’s feud with WB began in July of 2020 when hepublically accusedJustice League’s replacement director Joss Whedonof “gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable” behavior towards the cast and crew of the film. As per Fisher’s account, Whedon was “enabled” by DC Films' Geoff Johns and Jon Berg, both of whom denied the accusations.

While both Johns and Berg have since left DC Films, and WB launched an internal investigation into Fisher’s accusations in August of 2020,Fisher kept the pot boiling. In a September 4 tweet, Fisher claimed he’d received a phone call from Hamada “wherein he [Hamada] attempted to throw Joss Whedon and Jon Berg under the bus in hopes that I would relent on Geoff Johns. I will not.”

On December 11, WarnerMedia released a statement thatit had concluded its internal investigation, and had taken unspecified “remedial action.” Neither Fisher, WarnerMedia, nor any other involved parties have made any further specifics clear, but Fisher’s feud with Hamada goes on. Whatever else is going on here, anyone outside of WB may have to wait for the inevitable tell-all book whenever all the relevant non-disclosure agreements expire.

Hamada recently signed a deal that will see him stay president at DC Films through the end of 2023, which will mark his fifth year at the studio. He initially made an impression at WB by presiding overthe success of 2018’sAquamanmovie, and went public in late December with an ambitious amount of upcoming TV and film projects for DC.

Fisher can next be seen inWomen of the Movement,a six-episode historical drama that’s scheduled to premiere on ABC at some point in the 2020-2021 television season. Produced anddirected by Gina Prince-Pythewood (The Old Guard),Women of the Movementfocuses on Mamie Till-Mobley, whose son Emmett was murdered in Mississippi in 1955. Till-Mobley subsequently spent the rest of her life as an activist in the American civil-rights movement.
