Justice League Actor Ray Fisher Slams Joss Whedon For ‘Gross, Abusive, Unprofessional’ Behavior On Set

Ray Fisher won't work for Walter Hamada

Justice League actor Ray Fisher speaks out against reshoots director Joss Whedon.

Here comes another wrinkle to the legend of the Justice League film. As you likely know, Justice League was a movie that underwent massive changes. It faced constant reshoots and revisions during its standard production, and when Zack Snyder stepped away from the film, Avengers helmer Joss Whedon stepped in. The rest is history. What resulted was a two-hour-long movie with little actual substance and the tone of a Saturday morning cartoon.

However, leading up to the release, Ray Fisher voiced his support for Joss Whedon. At 2017’s San Diego Comic-Con, Fisher said, “Joss is a great guy and Zack picked a good person to come in and finish up for him.” However, unexpectedly and unprompted, Fisher brought up footage of him saying that on Twitter and retracted his support.

“I’d like to take a moment to forcefully retract every bit of his statement,” he wrote on Monday. It was a bit odd to me. In Hollywood, you generally try not to burn bridges, and this comment didn’t just seem to be Fisher speaking ill of Whedon’s cut, but of Whedon in general.

On Wednesday, Fisher put any further speculation to rest in a follow-up tweet.

“Joss [Whedon]’s on-set treatment of the cast and crew of Justice League was gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. 

He was enabled, in many ways, by Geoff Johns and Jon Berg. 

Accountability>Entertainment”

Fisher did not expound on his comments regarding Whedon — at least not as of this writing. That being said, criticism against Whedon isn’t exactly new. There have always been rumors surrounding his fidelity, but I’ve always felt there’s a drastic difference between being a feminist and being faithful. One can be a feminist and still be unfaithful. 

I’m sure this isn’t the last we’ll be hearing of this whole thing. Based on the rolling out of his comments, I don’t think it’s one Fisher has made lightly. As such, it’s only a matter of time before more details emerge.
