Justice League actor Ray Fisher will not drop his megaphone in his anger at Warner Bros., in particular DC Films president Walter Hamada.
Actor Cyborg, who made WarnerMedia dive into the investigation into Joss Whedon’s alleged misconduct during the remakes of Justice League, tweeted today, “Walter Hamada is the most dangerous type of facilitator. He lies, and the success of the WB PR failed on September 4, sought to undermine the real issues of the Justice League investigation. I will not participate in any production associated with it. A> E. ”
On the night of December 11, WarnerMedia issued a vague and superficial statement that its investigation was linked to Justice League was “completed and corrective measures were taken.” No other details have been provided, but even Warner Bros. film executives. at the time they did not know that the decision was coming.

In relation to the films in which Fisher is involved until DC, the actor reprized his role as Cyborg in the extra filming of Zack Snyder’s Justice League Cut 10 episodes, which will arrive at HBO Max next year. The actor also participated in the panel DC Fandome to cut the feature. Warner Bros. Fisher was in talks to return as Cyborg in the next DC film The Flash. It seems that this is not happening now.
Fisher’s firestorm against WarnerMedia began on July 1, when he tweeted: “Joss Wheadon’s treatment on the film set of the cast and crew Justice League it was rude, abusive, unprofessional and completely unacceptable. It was empowered, in many ways, by Geoff Johns and Jon Berg. Responsibility> Entertainment ”.
It is important to note here, during Fisher’s speech against the studio, that Hamada was not responsible for the production of the DC feature film, nor did he supervise Justice League, when Fisher and Whedon were working together. Hamada was a New Line executive at the time.
On the Friday night of Labor Day weekend, WarnerMedia issued a long statement, which is not typical for the studio to do in crisis situations, shooting Fisher, saying:
“In July, Ray Fisher’s representatives He asked DC Films President Walter Hamada will talk to Mr. Fisher about his concerns during the production of Justice League. The two had previously spoken when Mr. Hamada asked you to repeat your role as Cyborg at Warner Bros. ‘ next Snapshot film, along with other members of the Justice League.
In their July conversation, Mr. Fisher reported disagreements with the film’s creative team regarding his depiction of Cyborg, and complained that his suggested revisions of the script were not adopted. Mr. Hamada explained that creative differences are a normal part of the production process and that the screenwriter / director of a film should, ultimately, be responsible for these matters.
Notably, Mr. Hamada also told Mr. Fisher that he would raise his concerns with WarnerMedia so that they could conduct an investigation. At no time did Mr. Hamada “throw someone under the bus”, as Mr. Fisher falsely claimed, or made any judgment about the Justice League production, in which Mr. Hamada was not involved, since filming took place before Mr. Hamada was elevated to his current position.
Although Mr. Fisher never alleged any misconduct against him, WarnerMedia nevertheless initiated an investigation into the concerns he had raised about representing his character. Still not satisfied, Fisher insisted that WarnerMedia hire a third-party independent investigator.
This investigator tried several times to meet with Mr. Fisher to discuss his concerns, but, so far, Mr. Fisher has refused to speak to the investigator. Warner Bros. remains committed to the responsibility and well-being of each cast and crew member in each of their productions. He also remains committed to investigating any specific and credible allegations of misconduct, which Mr. Fisher has so far failed to provide.
In a subsequent Forbes interview in October, Fisher indicated that racial issues played a role in the decisions that led to his alleged Justice League.
Justice League stars like AquamanJason Momoa of Jason supported Fisher’s crusade on social media against the studio when the actor called for an investigation. Wonder Woman star and companion JL actress Gal Gadot told the Los Angeles Times that she didn’t shoot Fisher, but “I had my own experience with [Whedon], which was not the best, but I took care there and when it happened. I took it to the superiors and they took care of it. But I’m glad that Ray came up and told his truth. “
WarnerMedia did not make a new statement in response to Fisher’s new statements today against Hamada.
Walter Hamada is the most dangerous facilitator.
His lies, and the failed WB PR play on September 4, sought to undermine the real issues of the Justice League investigation.
I will not participate in any production associated with it.
