Controversies continue between Ray Fisher and Warner Bros. After the accusations against Joss Wheedon’s abuse of power, the Justice League actor again attacked the production company, this time practically calling them as hypocrites.
Ray Fisher questioned the good faith of Warner Bros after hiring Ta-Neishi Coates to write the script, of a presumed Black Superman in a new DC Comics project.
The actor who plays Cyborg in Justice League was forceful on a Twitter:
Do ya’ll remember that time Walter Hamada and @wbpictures tried to destroy a Black man’s credibility, and publicly delegitimize a very serious investigation, with lies in the press?

But hey, Black Superman…

Ray Fisher had initiated a complaint against Joss Wheedon, Zack Synder’s replacement in the filming of Justice League in 2017. The actor assured that he was mistreated by the filmmaker who behaved racist towards the Cyborg interpreter.
Wheedon was investigated but ultimately no consequences resulted, so the actor assured that Walter Hamada, president of Warner Bros, covered for the director and halted the investigation.
As I’ve said from the start:

Walter Hamada ATTEMPTED to interfere with the JL investigation.
He was unsuccessful in doing so because I did not allow him to.
Having the investigator make a statement claiming there was no interference is purposely misleading and desperate.

Now, Fisher made his feelings public again when he learned that Warner Bros hired a black screenwriter, Ta Neshi Coates, to make a new Superman movie, which will more than likely feature a black protagonist.
As we can see in his tweet, the Cyborg interpreter trashes Warner Bros films for ignoring other racist issues and, sarcastically accusing them of being hypocrites, even assuring that it is only a marketing campaign to hide previous allegations.
Meanwhile, fans are still waiting for the premiere of HBO Max’s new original miniseries, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, which will hit the streaming platform on March 18.
