Earlier this year, Ray Fisher took to Twitter to accuse Joss Whedon of “gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable” behavior on the set of Justice League. Whedon boarded Justice League after Zack Snyder left the film’s director’s chair to deal with a family tragedy, handling its extensive reshoots and post-production. In his Twitter post, Fisher also called out former DC President and Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns and producer Jon Berg, saying that the two “enabled” Whedon’s alleged behavior.

Last night, Warner Bros. released an extensive statement denying several recent claims made by Ray Fisher and accusing the Justice League star of not cooperating with a misconduct investigation. The statement also confirmed that DC Films president Walter Hamada met Fisher to discuss his future as Cyborg and ask him to appear in The Flash.
