‘Aquaman’ Star Jason Momoa Stands With ‘Justice League’ Co-Star Ray Fisher Amid His Ongoing Dispute With Warner Bros.

Aquaman star Jason Momoa showed his support for fellow Justice League member Ray Fisher, 33, by hashtagging #IStandWithRayFisher, amid his current dispute with Warner Bros.

Fisher’s back and forth with Warner Bros. began with a social media rant on July 1 when he called out Joss Whedon for his mistreatment of the cast and crew on-set of Justice League. He referred to Whedon’s behavior as “gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable.” “He was enabled, in many ways, by Geoff Johns and John Berg. Accountability>Entertainment,” Fisher continued.

Following Fisher’s social media posts, WarnerMedia launched an investigation into what went wrong during the film’s production.

I believe this investigation will show that Geoff Johns, Joss Whedon, Jon Berg (and others) grossly abused their power during the uncertainty of AT&T’s merger with Time Warner.

Thank you @WarnerMedia and @ATT for making strides to ensure a safer workplace for all!🙏🏽

But Fisher’s fight with Warner Bros. went further on Friday after the Cyborg actor posted on Twitter, saying, “So you can better understand how deep this goes: After speaking out about Justice League, I received a phone call from the President of DC Films wherein he attempted to throw Joss Whedon and Jon Berg under the bus in hopes that I would relent on Geoff Johns. I will not.  A>E”.

That night, Warner Bros. responded by stating that Fisher had spoken with DC Films boss Walter Hamada and informed him about his issues regarding the Justice League creative team’s portrayal of his character Cyborg. It was reported that Hamada did not “throw anyone under the bus” as Justice League happened before he was given the role of SC Films Head. The studio said that they complied with Fisher’s demand and hired a third-party investigator, but the 33-year-old actor refused to cooperate after several attempts.

It’s also worth noting that I made it clear to the world on Aug 21st that I would be vetting the investigator to ensure a fair and protected process for all witnesses. @wbpictures has escalated this to an entirely different level, but I’m ready to meet the challenge.

It really is a shame that @wbpictures willfully chose to publicly undermine the seriousness of the toxicity and abuse that myself and others have reported to WB HR and Labor Relations

They tried to minimize me as being an actor with petty creative differences.

They failed.

The next day, Fisher criticized Warner Bros.’s response, countering their statement that he hadn’t met with the rep when in fact, he met with the rep via Zoom on Aug,26. In his tweet, he said, “Thank you all for the support and for seeing through @wbpictures desperate and scattershot attempt to discredit me to continue protecting those in power.”

But, according to Variety, Fisher has yet to speak with the investigator in full detail, which was something the 33-year-old actor admitted to in his Saturday tweet. He said that he “had to end the interview early before going into detail with him…He tried to keep me on the line, but I told him I would need to consult my team before proceeding.”

In support of his co-star, Momoa posted a photo of Fisher, hashtagging #IStandWithRayFisher. Fisher soon responded to the support by reposting the post on Twitter with the caption, “Let’s Go!!! #BORGLIFE Accountability>Entertainment.

Let’s Go!!! #BORGLIFE

Despite their indifference, fans can expect to see Fisher portraying Cyborg in Zack Snyder’s Justice League in 2021 on HBO Max, and possibly the upcoming Flash movie, as Fisher is currently in talks with Hamada to reprise his comic role.
