Warner Bros. statement says Ray Fisher is not cooperating with the 'Justice League' misconduct investigation

unit and the efficiency of their internal investigation into the 2017 superhero film in which Fisher starred.attempted to play filmmakers off of one another to assuage the actor’s problems with the representation of his character, Cyborg — who fights alongside Batman, Wonder Woman and others. Moreso, the studio say Fisher has not cooperated with the investigation they launched at his behest.

The response was sparked by a Friday tweet from Fisher, which involved ongoing accusations he’s made against “Justice League” pinch-hitter director Joss Whedon, and film producers Geoff Johns and Jon Berg. Earlier this summer, Fisher accused Whedon of emotional behavior on set. On Friday, he accused Hamada of pinning his own concerns on Whedon and Berg alone.

“After speaking out about Justice League, I received a phone call from the President of DC Films wherein he attempted to throw Joss Whedon and Jon Berg under the bus in hopes that I would relent on Geoff Johns,” Fisher said. “I will not.”In July, Ray Fisher’s representatives asked DC Films President Walter Hamada to talk to Mr. Fisher about his concerns during the production of “Justice League.” The two had previously spoken when Mr. Hamada asked him to reprise his role as Cyborg in Warner Bros.

While Mr. Fisher never alleged any actionable misconduct against him, WarnerMedia nonetheless initiated an investigation into the concerns he’d raised about his character’s portrayal. Still not satisfied, Mr. Fisher insisted that WarnerMedia hire an independent third party investigator. This investigator has attempted multiple times to meet with Mr. Fisher to discuss his concerns but, to date, Mr. Fisher has declined to speak to the investigator. Warner Bros.

Debunked

warnerbros are racists like what Disney did to JohnBoyega BlackLivesMatter

I STAND WITH RAY FISHER IStandWithRayFisher BORGLIFE GeoffJohnsIsOverParty everybody that has followed the snydercut movement knows that WB is talking SHIT IStandWithRayFisher

Bunch of bullshit, imagin if Ray didnt be so transparent and tweetning Omfg they are snakes. Disgusting Of Warnerbrothers IStandWithRayFisher BORGLIFE

JESUS CHRIST SNYDER FANS PISSING ME OFF! THERE IS NO MORE WARNER BROS ITS ONLY WARNERMEDIA!! WarnerMedia is all new leadership that has no ties to your precious Zack Snyder or the justice league production!! Your pointing fingers and saying lies to a company and leadership 1/2

When cooperation means letting John's off scott free then you bet your ass he shouldn't wbpictures playing dirty again I see!!! Honestly do you think we're that stupid!

WB are a lying sack of hornets B U L L S H I T IStandWithRayFisher

So the multi-billion-dollar company conducting an INTERNAL investigation cries foul, stating its highest-profile accuser is “not cooperating” is news?! My, my, my... how the mighty have fallen... Variety: ClicksAccountabilityEntertainment

Sponsored?

WB statement isn't relevant to me.. After butchering Justice League do you think I believe them? They can't fool me twice! If you look how many people have been removed in couple of years you will know there's something very wrong going on there.

So three of JL's actors have problem that needs solving now

Bye-bye ray

All these 'I stand with Ray' people.. Ben,Gal and Jason have nothing to lose and they're not standing with Ray. Think about that for a second. You think Gal Gadot is afraid of getting fired? She cant be fired and she isnt standing. That speaks volumes.

Fisher: There are some who say Whedon was abusive on set, you do know that? WB: Who says that? Fisher: Read the manuals. Read the books. WB: Manuals? What manuals? Fisher: Read the books, read the books. WB:... what books? Fisher: Look, I'll explain- (Runs off)

IStandWithRayFisher

So it's a WB Internal Investigation and not an Independent Investigation that's been outsourced? You can kinda understand why cooperation might not happen.

Geoff Johns needs to go no matter what.

If true, Ray is dumb.

JesabelRaay This company is just so pathetic man 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

'hits back' such click baits

Fool me once , shame on me (happened when they said joss is completing Snyder's vision) Fool me twice shame on me for allowing it to happen again ✌🏾

Another sponsored article? You won't silence Ray Fisher. They thought he was just an unknown actor who would play along just to get a role. Well it's about time abuse of power is denounced on this industry IStandWithRayFisher

If ray doesnt show us any proof or explains What WB did... then im sorry his career and his lies are over... whats the difference between him and Jussie.

JesabelRaay wvi_lul MBbk101 nabinfinite Looool toutes ses paroles pour ça ?

Jussie smollett 2.0

As New Yorker, we ran into Ray a few weeks ago with some people from his college days and random personal friends of mine. Let this actor speak out, he likely is not wrong! JohnBoyega spoke up on truth, make sure Ray is properly heard too.

Warner Bros. who? It's AT&T doing the investigations. ray8fisher needs to out the rogue elements like Hamada and geoffjohns more now.

JesabelRaay Isn’t at&t the ones doing the investigation? So why is wb reporting this

Really disappointed to hear such blatant lies. Right when WB was on the fast track to improving massively. IStandWithRayFisher

I’m confused. What is Fisher accusing who of exactly? He’s mad because they didn’t take his notes about the portrail of his character? I’ve read it twice. What am I missing here? Had he not read the script coming into the job? People are reacting like it’s a acuastion of abuse.

Ray Fisher is a bitch. He thinks his accusations should be accepted outright and now refuses to cooperate with an investigation HE requested! This is not Me Too for Fisher, it’s Me Only.

WB fighting Ray Fisher for speaking the truth but still having Amber Heard on payroll tells you all you need to know IStandWithRayFisher

By not cooperating they mean he is not backing down from exposing the fraud geoff judas johns

Come on WB, you can do better!

JesabelRaay IStandWithRayFisher

I wonder why Hamada and WB would be defending Geoff Johns when he isn't very important to their company anymore. He was demoted for a reason. I believe Ray and many others were mistreated during the reshoots of JL. I'm confused about Ray's recent tweet.

Do they really think their propaganda will work? This is just WB aka Emmerich and Johns trying to save themselves. Well they can't IStandWithRayFisher

You all have to remember: they’re fighting to keep Geoff Johns because they view him & his vision as the “hope” for the dceu. As they have said so in numerous articles since 2017! They’re going to do EVERYTHING to bury Ray to keep Geoff.

he was the one why the investigation is happening, u all are clickbait bs ,stop lying geoff cant keep paying you

He Is a clout chaser.

IStandWithRayFisher shame on you guys for reporting such shit.

This whole situation has just been super bizarre

The same studio that fired a man after his daughter passed away a month earlier Are we still going to believe WB? After what they did to Zack Snyder movie? and lying that it wasn't real? GeoffJohnsIsOverParty IStandWithRayFisher

Damn, I see blacklisted in his future like they did to Monique.

RayFisherLiar No surprise. The negotations went south and now he's mad. He doesn't have any proof and didn't say any fact, just empty words. He wants to be the Snyder Cult's hero and he will keep speaking on twitter instead on court.

Geoff John's needs to go

Why did they wait to release this statement so late into the evening?

You know, I believe Walter Hamada might take Ray Fisher's advice. AccountabilityEntertainment. So Walter Hamada forgets the possible entertainment and fully want Ray Fisher being accountable for his reputation now.

Is that why he launched an investigation to look into the toxicity and abused caused by WB themselves? Miss me with that nonsense😅. An upcoming actor who has everything to lose is likely telling the truth than selfish studios who care about their own pockets and no one else😴

Never like his cyborg anyway

Yep he done

Gg Fisher. End of his career.

Bye cyborg lol

This is blatant falsehoods. These same people exploited the death of a man’s child, forced him out of a job and abused the cast he assembled. It’s clear ATT need to step in and fire Tony Emmerich, Geoff Johns and anyone else complicit in this.

call your bluff bro!

Someone wants a guaranteed starring sequel/franchise.

No more cyborg

I will play cyborg for a bag of popcorn and a couple of tickets. Just saying lol

Shocking

Guess we won’t be seeing cyborg movie

Tom Ellis thanks

Is the end for Fisher 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Probably because he lied

They need to do an investigation on the investigation. IStandWithRayFisher WeStandWithRayFisher BorgLife

If Ray wanted to be a writer, then he should have been a writer. Actors shouldn't interfere with the creative team and cry wolf when they don't get their ways. I get the character passion, but this isn't a British T'Challa situation where where Boseman had to stand his ground.

I don’t see anything Ray has done unethical at all. He hasn’t gone into specific details due to NDAs and the ongoing investigation. WB is trying to covered their own asses. IStandWithRayFisher

Mfs also said Snyder brought Joss onto the project so we know they lyin

lleger thoughts?

Uh oh, Ray is about to be replaced with Don Cheadle.

I knew it, this guy is full of shit!

It's only because he called out Walter who was a ig deal and feel bad that he won't play Cyborg in future stuff because of this but it's for the future of the industry.

IStandWithRayFisher

GraceRandolph this sounds bad for Ray, doesn't it?

So the guy who brought this to light, pushed for an investigation at risk for his career is now suddenly not cooperating. Just coincidentally the same time he aims at the top 🤔 Get fucked warnerbros, we're not stupid.

Warner Bros also said that the Josstice league was a 'zack Snyder film' 😂😂😂😂 FOH IStandWithRayFisher

yeah, we ain't buying it. IStandWithRayFisher

ScottMendelson wbpictures should just ignore these baseless claims which is made out of spite and anger. Hollywood has become a toxic work place since everyone has a story of unfair treatment. Ppl will get scared to work. Focus should be to give a profitable movie.

Is that so? Protect Judas johns at all cost huh

Honestly the reshoots for Justice League were in summer 2017 and the fact that Ray Fisher did not express his concerns about the issue at that specific moment is so crazy to me. And to be honest this is not Rays movie or character. He an actor who is brought to play the character

Really WB?

They are not Warner media or at&t ;) IStandWithRayFisher

WB lying again? What a surprise IStandWithRayFisher

FYDCOMICSYCINE mira

😂 So they actually hired investigators and he won’t cooperate, and the rest of the cast hasn’t spoken up to defend him. I can see where this is going.

wbpictures has zero credibility and zero good will - they trying to bury him / fuck geoffjohns

ScottMendelson He’s crazy!!!! He’s just raving!!! This investigation should stop.

ScottMendelson You mean the guy who complained four years later, didn't give any specifics, and leaked the fact that he a private phone conversation with President of DC films might not be telling the truth? Shocking

Well I guess this is the goodbye to Cyborg movie or other apparences in DCEU movies.

Surprise Surprise make a bunch of claims and then run and hide when they ask for the receipts what a way to destroy your credibility and your own acting career

Fisher = blame

Quick, everyone take sides!

Accountabilityentertainment period! ATT WarnerMedia IStandWithRayFisher

yeah that’s a load of garbage. they’re trying to bury him now that he’s went for Walter Hamada. IStandWithRayFisher

Sacred.....shuce voke

i don’t believe a single dot in there but alright you tried 👍

Well, I'd like to see if Ray Fisher still has his wild card to put on the table otherwise this is pretty game over. I think Walter Hamada might expect their conversations are in private but Ray Fisher tweeted it in his official account made Hamada looks bad. So....

SHOCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!

Enough is Enough. I'm all for supporting people when it's needed, but this drama has gone on for way too long & is taking over majority of what makes these films enjoyable for so many. Either speak out or don't! This goes for both sides. Us Fans just want good movies. That's all.

Not to shocking from what his costar on his other movie has said he kinda of a diva

Fisher isn't ready to co-operate with the investigator? Then why they hell did he ask them to launch an investigation if he isn't ready to speak his side of story? He doesn't speak online, doesn't speak in pvt. Either tell the whole story or stop being an online Riddler.

So WB flat out calls ray8fisher a liar and tries to chalk it up all the drama to creative differences. Also, I don't buy for a second that Ray is unwilling to meet with the investigator given how adamant he's been on launching this investigation.

Translation: Mr. Fisher is full of shit... If there was a case he would has been clear about it a long time ago, but the only thing the man does is sending cryptic messages on social media.

jasonkilar We have faith in you , and in the WarnerMedia as well as ATT , you have to act right. AE IStandWithRayFisher

The man won’t tell half truths! Geoff Johns has to go too IStandWithRayFisher

Well they better start telling the truth because this isn't going to scare Ray to back down.

And through all this Joivan Wade is tearing it up as Cyborg/Vic Stone on the Doom Patrol TV show.

Who am I going to believe? Hmmm, let’s see, a black man who has everything to lose by coming out like this or a billionaire corporation trying to protect themselves? Hmmmmmm

This is wrong. They are protecting Johns at all costs and now they are using their power to shut him up. Ive lost all my respect for that studio

Let's see what WarnerMedia has to say about this after the investigation IStandWithRayFisher

Of course he won't. He was lying and everyone knew it. It was all about hyping the Snyder cut.

I don’t believe it.

Lol well well well so they finally decided to attempt to say something

friendly reminder that WB were never backing Ray, WM are the ones who are and have been backing him
