Writer and producer Geoff Johns has several projects at WarnerMedia and continues to work with the company, despite actor Ray Fisher’s claim that Johns will split from WarnerMedia after the company’s investigation into Fisher’s allegations of misconduct in the “Justice League” “, confirm several sources for Variety.
On Thursday, Fisher posted a topic on Twitter contesting a report that Fisher “publicly resigned” from playing the role of Cyborg for DC Films after Fisher tweeted on December 30 “I will not participate in any production associated” with the current one DC Films president, Walter Hamada. Six days later, Variety reported that Hamada renewed its business to manage the DC unit by 2023.
On the same topic, Fisher tweeted that the “Justice League” investigation led WarnerMedia to “separate” from Joss Whedon – who was the main focus of Fisher’s “Justice League” allegations – and that “Geoff Johns will follow the example”.
The fact is: the Justice League investigation led to @WarnerMedia (and his affiliates) separating from Joss Whedon.
Geoff Johns will follow suit.
If Walter Hamada had achieved what he wanted, NOTHING would have been possible and the cycle of abuse would have continued.

According to three sources familiar with Johns’ work with WarnerMedia, the company remains in business with him. Johns continues to work as the creator and showrunner for the CW series “Stargirl”, part of executive producer Greg Berlanti’s broad set of programs based on DC Comics properties. In addition to co-writing the recent feature film “Wonder Woman 1984”, Johns serves as executive producer on several other DC-based series, including “Batwoman”, “Doom Patrol”, “Titans” and the next CW series “Superman” & Lois. “
Fisher’s statement about Johns is the latest in a series of claims and claims the actor made about the “Justice League”. It all started in July with Fisher’s claim that director Joss Whedon was involved in “gross, abusive, unprofessional and completely unacceptable” actions on the set of the film, and that Johns and Jon Berg, who were producers of “Justice League” “and directed DC The film unit of the time” enabled “Whedon. To date, Fisher has never publicly offered specific details or corroborated these allegations.
Upon completing its investigation into Fisher’s allegations, WarnerMedia announced on December 11 that “corrective measures have been taken”, but the company declined to provide further details of what this action entailed. On Thursday, Fisher said Whedon’s announcement on November 25 that he was leaving his HBO series “The Nevers” was part of that “corrective action”. At the time, Whedon said in a statement that he was leaving the series due to “the physical challenges of making such a big show during a global pandemic.” A spokesman for Whedon declined to comment on Fisher’s tweet.
