Jason Momoa stands with his Justice League co-star Ray Fisher amid his battle with Warner Bros. Both Momoa and Fisher were introduced to the DCEU through cameos in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which set up their future roles in Justice League. Momoa has since appeared in his own solo film, Aquaman, and is set to return for its sequel in 2022. Fisher, however, has seen his own character, Cyborg, stall in the years since Justice League. A solo film for Cyborg was supposed to arrive earlier this year, but it never came to pass. One consolation is that fans will get to see a new performance from Fisher (as well as Momoa) when the Snyder Cut of Justice League comes out next year.
Over the past two months, Fisher has become involved in a public fight with Warner Bros. over Justice League's reshoots, which saw Joss Whedon take over from Zack Snyder. Fisher claimed Whedon's behavior on set was "gross" and "abusive," and an investigation has slowly commenced. However, matters became increasingly messy over the weekend when, following a new claim from Fisher that DC Films president Walter Hamada tried to silence his accusations, Warner Bros. released a statement insisting Fisher hasn't cooperated with the investigator. Fisher clapped back with evidence that he did in fact speak to someone, but wasn't interested in pursuing the conversation because he didn't feel the investigator was impartial.
These new developments have led to a swell of support for Fisher, and now his biggest supporter to date has stepped forward. On social media, Fisher posted a heartwarming image of himself from Momoa's Instagram story, which was accompanied by the hashtag "I Stand With Ray Fisher." Fisher then expressed his own enthusiasm, which you can see in his post down below.
The two actors have been vocal supporters of the Snyder Cut over the years, so it's no surprise that Momoa is in Fisher's corner now. Fisher has said he knows several people who are willing to speak to investigators about their own account of the Justice League reshoots, and it seems likely that Momoa is one of them. Of course, the public will never truly know unless Momoa were to come out and say so, but his open support of Fisher speaks volumes.
It's unfortunate that Fisher has had such a difficult time getting his claims heard by an impartial judge, but it's also sweet to see he has at least one of his cast members backing him. Since they were also present for the Justice League reshoots, they must know firsthand what Fisher is trying to speak out about. It remains to be seen where this saga will go next, but it's very clear that Fisher is not backing down. Hopefully Warner Bros. will do what's right and give him a fair investigation.
