DC Comics Films: Ray Fisher On Cyborg

We know that we will see stage actor Ray Fisher is playing the role of Cyborg in Zack Snyder's upcoming superhero team-up film called "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice"-- The Justice League Part One and  Justice League Part Two. Beyond that though it was unclear as to where the character might show up in DC Cinematic Universe--even Fisher was in the dark.


Talking to Entertainment Weekly, the actor says that he had no idea Warner Bros and DC Entertainment would confirm a "Cyborg" solo movie to bow in 2020 until just a few hours before the announcement when the producers revealed the news to him:

"I didn't know the extent to which DC and WB had planned on taking my character. When I signed on, I just wanted to be part of this world. But that specific information [the Cyborg film], I found out then and there. I didn't think I'd be getting my own stand-alone film."

Fisher confirmed that he has finished shooting his scenes on 'Dawn' some ago which includes several of his future "Justice League" colleagues:

"I met everyone in the Justice League except Henry Cavill and Ezra Miller. It was surreal. You get this idea of going to work on a Hollywood set as being really stressful and nerve-wracking. But it blew that stereotype away. If they did have stressful times, it wasn't while I was there."

This would suggest that Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne/Batman, Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman. Jason Momoa's Aquaman and Fisher's Cyborg share a scene in DOJ.

The DOJ release was delayed a full 10 months for a number of reasons. As a result, the original release date of July 17th 2015 was no longer. The studio then targeted a May 6th 2016 release. They quickly inserted the fantasy Pan into that original slot. The sequel was to go head to head with "Captain America 3" ...Nobody thought that the comic book pics would ultimately share the date--Sure enough DOJ blinked--and will now open on March 25th 2016.

Miller will play The Flash in a film due in 2018.
