Ray Fisher to Play Cyborg In ‘Batman-Superman

Batman-Superman: Cyborg to Be Played by Ray Fisher (EXCLUSIVE) | Variety

After testing actors over the past couple weeks, Warner Bros. and D.C. have tapped theater actor Ray Fisher for the role of Cyborg in the untitled Batman-Superman pic.

Victor Stone or ‘Cyborg,’ while not a major part in the Batman-Superman feature, is a member of the Justice League and will become a much more significant role as Warner and D.C. develop more films related to the Justice League universe, sources confirm.

Warner Bros. had no comment on this story.

Fisher joins the Batman-Superman cast which includes Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Jesse Eisenberg, Gal Gadot and Amy Adams with Zack Snyder directing.

Production is currently underway in Michigan.

Written by David S. Goyer, the screenplay for Batman-Superman is based on a story by Goyer and Snyder.

Cavill, who plays Superman in the film, expressed a great deal of promise in Cyborg in the recent “Man of Steel” bonus feature, as well as the fictional research facility S.T.A.R. Labs, which appears in several DC Comics.

“I think he would create an incredible bridge between superheroes and humanity,” Cavill said of the Cyborg character.

S.T.A.R. Labs was also the workplace of Justice League characters Professor Hamilton (played by Richard Schiff in “Man of Steel”) and the superhero Rampage, although it’s unclear whether the latter is involved in Batman-Superman.

Produced by Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder, the untitled Batman-Superman feature opens May 6, 2016.

Fisher, repped by ICM Partners, is more known for his theater roles including the Broadway play “Fetch Clay, Make Man” where he portrayed Muhammad Ali.

He was also one of the actors testing for J.J. Abrams’ upcoming “Star Wars: Episode VII.”

This is looking more like that New 52 "Justice League War" animation movie that just came out. All we need is Shazaam, Flash and GL. They will leave Flash and GL due to the Flash TV show and the last GL movie failure. Luthor will be just the face of some bigger plot its looking like. You don't need all these heros just to fight Luthor...

I figured Batman vs Superman was going to be a giant launching pad for a Justice League film so I'm not surprised. WB is not trying to wait around for a team up film.

 

[dakidbanks]

Who is this guy and can he act? Only a matter of time before we get that John Stewart casting announcement.

Im guessing they're gunna wait until the end of the movie to officially form the justice League and dont want the title to be a spoiler.

 

[Makavalli]

I kno they dont have the patience to follow the marvel blueprint but they need at least one more movie to set up the justice then they can just go to the solo films from that

Every announcement makes me worry more.

All we do is pray Warner and DC don't fukk this up. Sad shyt is, they have things significantly easier than Marvel with WB having all DC movie and tv rights. They should have done this YEARS ago trying to set shyt up.

But the good thing is that with Avengers and the Disney/Marvel as a whole, WB/DC KNOWS they can't put out bullshyt.

 

[Shaman]

First casting choice I haven't hated; he has the build for Cyborg and seems to be a good actor

 

[ltheghost]

They will do anything for that Avengers money......just call this damn movie Justice League and get it over with.

 

[Clark Wayne]

Damn WB getting more worried with every piece of new information
