After accusing Joss Whedon of abuse on the set of Justice League, Ray Fisher now says director Joss Whedon confused Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, aka Diana Prince, with Natasha Romanoff of The Avengers.
Fisher made the revelation while promoting Zack Snyder's Justice League in Vanity Fair. The actor alleged Whedon was fairly upset over the reception of Avengers: Age of Ultron, and recalled the time the director got Wonder Woman and Black Widow confused. "You can see it in some of the scenes that were produced. Flash falling on Wonder Woman's [chest] is something that he yanked out of Age of Ultron and just copy-pasted here," Fisher stated. "In my first conversation creatively with him, he kept accidentally calling Diana 'Natasha,' which is crazy stuff. This was in the conversation that they made me have with him before giving me the script. There was a lot of belittling on set. There was a lot of mocking, both of previous work and actors and people."
According to Fisher, that moment was just the beginning of his adversarial relationship with Whedon. He went on to claim that the director compared him unfavorably to an MCU star. Fisher said, "He compared me at one point to Robert Downey Jr. And said, 'Listen, I don't like to take notes from anybody, not even Robert Downey Jr.' And I said, 'Well, okay. Be that as it may…'"
Despite the end of WarnerMedia's investigation against Whedon, Fisher has continued to call out DC Films President Walter Hamada with new allegations. WarnerMedia has pushed back against Fisher, with the Cyborg actor calling them "misleading and desperate." But recently, Zack Snyder threw this support behind Fisher and others over the Whedon reshoots.
Zack Snyder's Justice League stars Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Ray Porter as Darkseid, Ciarán Hinds as Steppenwolf, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon. The film arrives on HBO Max on March 18.
