In rather unexpected casting news, it's been reported that theater actor Ray Fisher will play Victor "Vic" Stone, better known as Cyborg, in Zack Snyder's untitled Batman/Superman film. Check it out
With production on Batman vs. Superman gearing up in Detroit, Michigan, Warner Bros. and director Zack Snyder have reportedly been testing actors for yet another Justice League character to appear in the Man of Steel follow-up. According to Variety, relatively unknown thesp Ray Fisher will join the ensemble cast playing none other than Victor "Vic" Stone, aka Cyborg. The source notes that he doesn't play a major part in Batman vs. Superman, but Cyborg will "become a much more significant role as Warner and D.C. develop more films related to the Justice League universe."
UPDATE: The folks at The Hollywood Reporter have confirmed Ray Fisher's casting, and added that when Warner Bros. first began looking for an actor to play Victor Stone several months ago, the part only "called for one scene" and promised more in the future. However, it's unknown if the role is still limited to just one scene in the Batman/Superman movie. What do you think?
Tentively titled Batman vs. Superman, the movie is directed by Zack Snyder from a story by David Goyer and screenplay by Chris Terrio, and stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Gal Gadot, Diane Lane, Tao Okamoto, Callan Mulvey, with Holly Hunter, Laurence Fishburne, and Jeremy Irons. And as of right now, the film is scheduled for release on May 6, 2016.
