Ray Fisher confirms that he has been removed from the Flash movie

The battle between Justice League Ray Fisher star and DC Films president Walter Hamada has hit another … What, pic? Nadir? Hypnotic conflict bump? Make your selection tonight as Fisher announced that he has been formally removed from a planned appearance as Victor “Cyborg” Stone to the long gestation of Andy Muschietti Flash film. This is not quite onepredictably, following a statement Fisher made late last year, in which he he stated that he would they refuse to work on any film produced by Hamada, and Hamada is still firmly established and DC Films, Yes.

In a long and passionate post on Twitter, Fisher set out his problems with Hamada in his clearest language to date., accusing him, in a phone call in June, deliberately ignoring and trying to downplay the actor’s problems with former DC Films executive Geoff Johns, whom Fisher has accused, along with producer Jon Berg and director Joss Whedon, of racist and abusive behavior during the shooting of Justice League. That call – which also included, in Fisher’s description, a “tasteless self-conscious joke” about Hamada that he hoped would not end on Fisher’s Twitter –it seems to have been the source of Fisher ‘s later claims that Hamada had “happily launched [Whedon and Berg] under the bus ”in favor of Johns, who a statement from Warner Bros. in September.

It is true that most of the above it is old news of this long and often furious story. Still, this is where things get a little more juicy: Fisher continues to accuse Hamada of deliberately covering up Johns’ behavior, including allegations that he has long manipulated the investigation of third-party pregnant women into the shooting of the film, which he concluded last month, but not in public we have been aware of details of. In his statement, Fisher allegedly has having seen the conclusions of the research—states that research “He was able to expose Geoff Johns’ racist, coercive, discriminatory, and retaliatory behavior during his tenure with WarnerMedia affiliates, ”in addition to stating that it led to the most immediate separation of avenues between WarnerMedia and Joss Whedon. “. Again, we have not seen any of the results of the research; all we got at the time was for WarnerMedia to notice “Corrective action” had taken—but the chronology does free map to Whedon departing abruptly his HBO Max series Els Nevers at the end of November 2020.

Fisher ends his statement by dubbing Hamada “unfit for leadership” and declaring himself willing to take a polygraph to support any of his claims. WarnerMedia and DC Films have not responded so far, nor have they even confirmed, so far, that Fisher has left the film, even if they did apparently he has been working on plans to get it out The flash for some time.
