After a few months of radio silence, Ray Fisher recently vowed never to let the situation with WarnerMedia "blow over," and the Zack Snyder's Justice League star once again made it very clear that his feelings on the matter have not changed during an appearance at MEGACON in Orlando, Florida.
During a Q&A, Fisher was asked about a potential return to the DCEU as Cyborg, and said that while he still loves the character and would be happy to reprise the role under the right circumstances, he still hasn't received an apology from Walter Hamada or any of the other higher-up at Warner Bros. over what Fisher deems to be a mishandling of the investigation into the claims of inappropriate on-set behaviour made against Joss Whedon and his "enablers."
You can check out the actor's response (via ComicBook.com) below.
"That's a complicated question. I think, ultimately, how people spend their money determines what happens and what does not happen in this business, and particularly in comic books and DC. For me, there's a lot of stuff behind the scenes. Obviously, I've not been shy about talking about all of the things that have occurred over the last year, the back and forth that I've had personally and publicly with Warner Bros. Pictures, Walter Hamada, and the rest of the crew over there. For me, I think it all starts with an apology coming from the Warner Bros. side of things. There's a lot of really gnarly stuff that has gone down, especially publicly. What Walter Hamada and Warner Bros. Pictures attempted to do, professionally and personally, during one of the most crucial years for Black people in the history of really humanity, is just unacceptable."
"So until such time an apology is issued, I definitely will not be supporting any Walter Hamada productions, period. And it's a tough thing because I'm a DC fan through and through. I love these characters, but sometimes you gotta give up what you love to do what’s right."
To be perfectly honest, we wouldn't be holding our breaths for that apology if we were Fisher. At this point, Warners are more likely to wait and hope that this entire situation is swept under the rug than admit to any more wrongdoing. The chances of Whedon working with the studio (or any other one, for that matter) are somewhere between slim and none, and Hamada and co. probably feel that should be the end of it.
Whatever side of the debate you happen to land on, there's no denying that Fisher is a man who sticks to his guns!
