Justice League actor Ray Fisher continues in his public battle against Warner Bros. by drawing yet another line in the sand. This time, however, he’s targeting a particular individual, promising that he will never work on another film associated with DC Film president Walter Hamada.
Sometime after the conclusion of WarnerMedia’s internal investigation, which Fisher had initially seemed content with, the actor has clarified on Twitter that he is still unhappy with Hamada being in the driver’s seat. When the actor initially broke his silence on his treatment during Justice League, he accused director Joss Whedon and several other DC executives of manipulative and abusive behavior on set.
This started off an internal investigation at WarnerMedia, with some back and forth between Fisher about how the investigation should be handled. Jason Momoa came out in support of Fisher, as did Gal Gadot, but none of them directly corroborated his claims, only that they supported Fisher speaking his mind and getting an investigation.
When the investigation was completed, WarnerMedia stated that “remedial action has been taken,” but there has been no clarification as to what that means and who it was taken against. Along the way Fisher has also accused Warner Bros. of deliberately timing PR campaigns in order to drown out news of Fisher’s complaint.
Despite the long and drawn-out nature of this battle, this latest tweet from Fisher marks the first time the actor has publicly called out Hamada. In the statement, he wrote: “Walter Hamada is the most dangerous kind of enabler. He lies, and WB PR’s failed Sept. 4th hit-piece, sought to undermine the very real issues of the Justice League investigation. I will not participate in any production associated with him. A>E.” The statement was posted as a response to a recent New York Times profile where Hamada discussed the future of the DC Cinematic Universe. If Fisher is serious about this statement, it likely means that his character, Cyborg, will not be appearing in future films, or will have to be recast.
In response to the accusation, Warner Bros. has released a statement outlining their side of the conflict. The statement claims that Fisher had met with Hamada, that the two had discussed creative differences during the filming of Justice League, and that Hamada had been supportive of the investigation. At the end of the statement, they write: “Warner Bros. remains committed to accountability and to the well-being of every cast and crew member on each of its productions. It also remains committed to investigating any specific and credible allegation of misconduct, which thus far Mr. Fisher has failed to provide.”
