Ray Fisher’s Cyborg May Appear in The Flash Despite Warner Bros. Drama - Screen Rant

Ray Fisher's Cyborg could still appear in The Flash despite his ongoing feud with Warner Bros. Fisher first played Victor Stone, aka Cyborg, in a quick cameo for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice before making his proper debut in Justice League. At the time of Justice League's release, there were plans for Cyborg to receive his own solo movie in 2020, but it received very little updates in recent years and was unable to make that date. As a result, Fisher's DCEU future currently is uncertain.

Potentially complicating matters is Fisher's battle with Warner Bros., which has escalated considerably in recent days. In early July, Fisher revealed on Twitter that Joss Whedon, the director who took over Justice League's reshoots following Zack Snyder's exit, was "abusive" and "unprofessional" on set. In the weeks following, Fisher continued to promote his desire for accountability in this matter, leading to the beginning of an investigation. This weekend, though, has seen Warner Bros. issue a statement claiming Fisher hasn't cooperated with the investigation, with him then providing evidence that he has.

All of this is taking place when Fisher is reportedly in talks to join The Flash. According to THR writer Borys Kit, Fisher is in deep "talks/negotiations" to bring his Cyborg into The Flash, which is further complicating the actor's rapidly devolving battle with Warner Bros. It remains to be seen whether it will prevent Fisher from appearing in The Flash completely, or if it could even impact chances for the solo Cyborg film.

Fans have liked the idea of seeing Cyborg appear in The Flash since Justice League, which paired Victor and Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) together successfully. In July, Fisher remained coy about the possibility of him joining The Flash, though it now appears he was in negotiations even then. However, as the situation between him and Warner Bros. has now grown hostile, it's very unclear about what will happen next. Fisher has spoken openly about the head of DC Films, Walter Hamada, as well as prominent DC contributor Geoff Johns. This is a very thorny situation, and one that might not be resolved easily.

It seems unfair to punish an actor for trying to get accountability, but if Warner Bros. blocks Fisher from starring in The Flash, that's now how it will come across. Fisher has been as open as he can be about his experiences, leaving Warner Bros. pretty much looking like the bad guy. As it seems right now, Fisher deserves both a fair investigation into his claims and the opportunity to revive his Cyborg for future projects. Only time will tell what comes next in this saga, but there are surely more updates on the way.
