The feud between Warner Bros. and Ray Fisher may be over, but that doesn’t mean the studio has to stop shading the actor who played Cyborg in Zack Snyder's Justice League.Fisher led his co-stars in calling out Whedon's toxicity during Justice League reshoots, allegedly enabled by Jon Bergs and Geoff Johns, including claims of abusive behavior, racism, and misconduct. According to Fisher, not having the same pull as his co-stars made it easier for the following Warner Bros. executives, Walter Hamada and Ann Sarnoff, to sweep the Justice League investigation under the rug. Now, old wounds were opened by Warner Bros. Discovery in the promotion of their DC content on its re-branded streaming platform, MAX.Cyborg was omitted from the profile icon roster depicting DC content on MAX. All the Snyder Justice League cast members are present except for Fisher's Cyborg, described as the film's heart by many people. However, Warner Bros. does not envision Zack Snyder's Justice League as canon, despite the problems of the Justice League theatrical cut that turned Cyborg into a caricature of what his character was supposed to be. The Snyderverse fandom came out in support of Fisher while shaming the studio for participating in such antics. Due to the backlash, 12 hours later, Warner Bros. Discovery reinstated Cyborg's profile icon into the marketing for its Justice League lineup on MAX.
Fisher's Cyborg was supposed to be in The Flash opposite Ezra Miller. However, due to the collateral damage, Warner Bros. claimed Fisher was not fired but that “he effectively quit by refusing to work with Hamada.” Some fans have speculated that this is the reason Fisher was omitted from the MAX marketing. Regardless of what happened behind the scenes, Fisher is still a part of the official Justice League lineup whether or not Warner Bros. Discovery likes it.
Since James Gunn and Peter Safran's DCU reboot aims to steer away from the Snyderverse, it is no surprise to see that reflected in the Warner Bros. Discovery marketing, which some people believe is careless in depicting the Snyderverse characters. Fisher has reunited with Zack Snyder on the upcoming Rebel Moon, which should be a much better working environment than what the actor and others (Affleck described the Justice League reshoots as awful) went through at Warner Bros.
Zack Snyder's Justice League is available on MAX.
