Ray Fisher confirms he was removed from the Flash movie

The battle between Justice League star Ray Fisher and DC Films president Walter Hamada hit another … What, peak? Nadir? Hypnotic impulse of conflict? Make your choice tonight, when Fisher announced that he was formally removed from a planned appearance as Victor Stone “Cyborg” in the long gestation of Andy Muschietti Snapshot movie. This comes, not entirelypredictably, after Fisher’s statement last year, in which he stated that he would refuse to work on any film produced by Hamada, and Hamada is still firmly installed at DC Films, so yes.

In a long and passionate Twitter post, Fisher exposed his problems with Hamada in his clearest language to date., accusing him, in a phone call in June, to deliberately ignore and try to minimize the problems the actor had with former DC Films boss Geoff Johns, whom Fisher accused, alongside producer Jon Berg and director Joss Whedon, of racist and abusive behavior during the footage of Justice League. This call – which also included, in Fisher’s description, a “self-conscious bad joke” about Hamada hoping it won’t end on Fisher’s Twitter –seems to have been the source of Fisher’s later claims that Hamada happily “played [Whedon and Berg] under the bus ”in favor of Johns, who was hard pressed by a statement from Warner Bros. In September.

It is true that most of the above options It is old news in this long and often irritatingly vague story. This is where things get a little juicier: Fisher continues to accuse Hamada of deliberately covering up Johns’ behavior, including accusations of tampering with a lengthy third party investigation into the film’s filming, which was completed last month, but which we, the public, are not aware of. In his statement, Fisher – who is have having seen the research findings –states that research “He was able to expose Geoff Johns’ racist, coercive, discriminatory and retaliatory behavior during his tenure with WarnerMedia affiliates,” as well as claiming that “it led to a more immediate separation between WarnerMedia and Joss Whedon.” Again, we didn’t see any of the results of the investigation – all we got at the time was WarnerMedia noting that “Corrective action” had been takenbut the timeline does map vaguely to Whedon abruptly leaving your HBO Max series The Nevers at the end of November 2020.

Fisher ends his statement by calling 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 – or even confirmed, yet, that Fisher is out of the film, although they had allegedly is working on plans to eliminate it The Flash for a while now.
