Following a long list of accusations of abusive and unprofessional behaviour levelled at him from several actors and writers he'd worked with on the likes of Justice League, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Firefly, director Joss Whedon finally responded to allegations made against him during an interview with NY Magazine.
Cyborg actor Ray Fisher was the one to open the floodgates after retracting the praise he'd previously given Whedon at SDCC in 2020, Tweeting out: "[Whedon's] on-set treatment of the cast and crew of Justice League was gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable."
According to Whedon, none of Fisher's claims were "either true or merited discussing." He also said that he reduced Cyborg's role in the movie because it "logically made no sense," and that Fisher wasn't a strong enough actor. "We’re talking about a malevolent force. We’re talking about a bad actor in both senses."
Now, Fisher has Tweeted out his response to the filmmaker's "lies and buffoonery."
We have no idea what Whedon hoped to gain from this interview, but it only succeeded in making him look even worse, and we doubt Fisher will be the only one to respond to his comments.
