Ray Fisher’s cameo inBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceas Victor Stone was exactly six years ago, the very next year he made his official DCEU debut as Cyborg in the not-so-well-receivedJustice League.But one of the positives of his debut was that critics liked it, and so did fans!
The stars were aligning for the 35-year-old star who was just making a mark in the movie industry, and his portrayal of Cyborg was met with applause from fans too. But a string of controversies and feuds between Fisher and Warner Bros. has strained the progress of his career, and now with the departure of one of his main problems, he’s celebrating!

What’s Ray Fisher’s Deal With Warner Bros?
To explain whyRay Fisheris in complete disgust at his employers, we’re gonna have to backtrack to 2020 when all the drama started.
Ray Fisher’s feud against his employers began when he called out Joss Whedon, as well as producers Geoff Johns and Jon Berg’s treatment of theJustice Leaguecast in a tweet where he described their behavior as“gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable.”
Joss Wheadon’s on-set treatment of the cast and crew of Justice League was gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable.
He was enabled, in many ways, by Geoff Johns and Jon Berg.

One thing escalated into another, and Warner Bros. decided to launch a third-party investigation into the matter. Just a few months later, Fisher tweeted that DC Films president Walter Hamada called him up to forgive Johns in exchange for punishing Whedon and Berg, an offer which Fisher declined.

Warner Bros stated that this never happened, further claiming the Cyborg star was not cooperating with the investigation, to which Fisher epicly replied with proof that he had indeed met with the investigator. He followed this up with an interview where accused Whedon of altering the skin tone of a character, among other racism accusations.
A much more personal agenda against Walter Hamada for Fisher began after the DC Films president gave an interview with The New York Times about his work. Fisher would tweet about it, saying that Hamada was“the most dangerous kind of enabler”.He also asserted that he would not work with the film exec anymore.
Walter Hamada is the most dangerous kind of enabler.
His lies, and WB PR’s failed Sept 4th hit-piece, sought to undermine the very real issues of the Justice League investigation.
I will not participate in any production associated with him.

Having an actor giving off an amazing amount of negativity toward your company is not a good look. WB eventually punished theTrue Detectiveactor by completely removing his character from an appearance inThe Flash!

Walter Hamada’s Gone, And Ray Fisher’s Happy
It seems like Ray Fisher has something to celebrate this weekend. Walter Hamada has left Warner Bros after serving the company for 15 long years, four of those years as President of DC Films.
He had already signed a contract to keep him as DC Films president in January 2021 that would extend his stay till 2023. He is set to be the fifth WB studio exec to leave ever since David Zaslav was appointed CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery.

Ray Fisher must’ve been elated upon hearing the news, and he is! The 35-year-old actor recently tweeted about Hamada’s departure-
Walter Hamada tried to protect his toxic and discriminatory colleagues.
He failed.
He tried to bury me (and the Justice League investigation) with lies in the trades.
He is a product of old Hollywood cronyism.
May we never experience his like again.

WB has still stood firm with their decision to cut Cyborg out from the upcomingThe Flashmovie, which paints a bleak future for Fisher’s character in the DCEU, let alone a solo movie for Cyborg.
Justice Leagueis currently available for streaming on Amazon Prime.
