Ray Fisher denies giving up Flash
Earlier this week, The Wrap reported that Ray Fisher’s time as Cyborg was over. In recent months, Fisher has made allegations of misconduct against Justice League reshoot director Joss Whedon, executives Geoff Johns and Jon Berg, as well as DC Films president Walter Hamada. Fisher also said he will not work with Hamada soon after Warner Bros. extended Hamada’s contract.
Fisher is now responding to The Wrap, and he is challenging the claim that he has publicly stepped down.
I strongly suggest that @TheWrap change this article immediately.
While I appreciate the reporter’s undying desire to do @wbpictures and Walter Hamada’s offer – it is factually inaccurate.
I have not publicly renounced anything.

What if @wbpictures made the decision to remove me from the Flash, instead of approaching Walter Hamada in any way tampering with the JL investigation – this is their fault.
The idea of removing the function, instead of reformulating it, is just being used to try to avoid public reactions.

Fisher continued to suggest that Joss Whedon’s recent departure from HBO The Nevers it was the result of your investigation. In addition, Fisher indicated that Johns would also be forced to leave Warner Bros. in a near future.
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.

Johns is the co-creator and showrunner of Stargirl on the CW. So far, there has been no other indication that Johns will leave this role anytime soon. Fisher also said that he is still talking to Warner Bros. parent company WarnerMedia.
My team and I are still in deep conversation with @WarnerMedia in relation to all these matters and – with or without Flash – we intend to see this to the end.
I will keep everyone informed, but in the meantime, thank you for your continued support
