JUSTICE LEAGUE: Joss Whedon Rumored To Have Openly Trashed Zack Snyder's Work On Set

Kevin Smith has shared some of the rumours he's heard about what happened behind the scenes of Justice League, revealing that VFX artists told him Joss Whedon would frequently trash Zack Snyder's vision.

In the latest edition of "FatMan Beyond," filmmaker Kevin Smith shared some rumours relating to what Cyborg actor Ray Fisher recently described as director Joss Whedon's "gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable" behaviour on the set of Justice League during reshoots. 

Explaining that he spoke to some VFX artists while visiting the set of Solo: A Star Wars Story who had worked on both cuts of Justice League, Smith says that he was told that Whedon frequently, and very publicly, trashed Zack Snyder's movie.

He notes that The Avengers helmer would, "cut, down, dismiss and be negative about Zack’s version of the movie that he had seen and all of the special effects team [these people] had made together." This is said to have led to a lot of discomfort on the set with the cast and crew, and could explain what Fisher was referring to. After all, tearing into Snyder's work when he had to depart Justice League because his daughter had died doesn't exactly paint the director in the best of lights. 

Regardless, it doesn't appear as if Whedon respected Snyder's vision for the DC Comics property, as he completely altered the movie to suit the version he clearly wanted.

In related news, Ray Fisher has today sent out a Tweet saying, "I believe Kai Cole and Charisma Carpenter." Cole is Whedon's ex-wife who alleged that he was abusive in their marriage, and Carpenter has said that she was fired from Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff Angel for getting pregnant.

Fisher has yet to elaborate on what exactly happened while he was shooting Justice League.

@regularmovieguy - Whedon gave us two good Avengers films. He may be a jerk irl, but the talent is blatantly there. I ain't trashing him, lol.

Snyder on the other hand...

The Avengers is awesome. Very rewatchable.

If I never watch AOU again I wouldn’t be pissed.

I’d def put it over MOS. But yeah, it doesn’t have much rewatch value.

I thought the twins were so lame when that movie came. Thought they looked badass in the WS teaser.

Them and Ultron were all weak...imo.

Two? Really? Cause AOU was kinda trash.

@regularmovieguy - I thought it was just over-long, under-written and dull for large stretches. The worst of the four Avengers films by far. But to each their own.

Even Whedon hated working on AOU.

If this is all that Whedon did, then it's nothing major. It's dick-ish, but it's not abusive. Still waiting for some more details before dismissing Fisher or "cancelling" Joss.

If he was rude to the VFX workers themselves though, that's a major dick move. Those guys are already under so much pressure and crunch time, and that's before how unstable their job security is with how many VFX branches get shut down. There's a great documentary called "Life After Pi" on Youtube about this stuff.

You would think one of them would at least explain themselves.

Fisher is being clickbait-y and Whedon decided on “no comment.”

They both sound like assholes.
