Ray Fisher, the actor behind the DC Extended Universe’s Cyborg, has retracted his initial praise for Joss Whedon’s Justice League reshoots.
When Zack Snyder first stepped away from Justice League and was replaced by Joss Whedon, there was a lot of optimism from fans and the actors involved with the DC blockbuster.
Ray Fisher, who played Cyborg in the film, praised Whedon at Comic-Con, saying: “Zack picked a good person to come in and clean up and finish up for him.” The film, unfortunately, didn’t work out as planned – especially for Cyborg who became a rather undeveloped character.
With the Snyder Cut now on the way, Fisher has retracted his praise of Whedon, with the actor stating on Twitter that: “I’d like to take a moment to forcefully retract every bit of this statement.”

Clearly Fisher isn’t too pleased with how things worked out with Whedon. Hopefully, the Snyder Cut will be a marked improvement on the theatrical release. We’ll find out next year when Zack Snyder’s Justice League hits HBO Max.
