When Warner Bros. announced in 2014 what would become widely known as the DC Extended Universe, the ambitious slate of films that included not only Justice League, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Shazam! but also the likes of The Flash and Cyborg. Those first two have been released, and the second two are heading toward theaters The Flash appears back on track. But there remains a question mark over Cyborg, starring Ray Fisher in the title role.
However, actor Joe Morton, who plays Victor Stone’s father, believes the solo film is still happening and may even utilize cut footage from Justice League. In a new interview with Slash Film, Morton states the original cut of Justice League contained a greater storyline for both Silas Stone and his son
“There was [more we shot]. They completely changed the story,” he confirmed. “Unfortunately, I can’t tell you what [the original story] is because that might end up being in part of the Cyborg movie. Yes, there was a big change once they decided that they were going to do the Cyborg film.” Whether or not that solo outing is actually going to happen is another matter, especially as it was actually announced when the DC Films division was under some very different leadership.
For what it’s worth, though, Morton remains convinced it’s still happening. “I know there’s supposed to be a Cyborg movie they’re going to shoot in 2020. That’s all I know. I haven’t seen a script. I think the idea is to deal more with his family so you watch the evolution of him becoming Cyborg.”
Cyborg was initially planned to be released in 2020, but this seemingly confirms the movie is still part of the discussion going forward.
