Victor Stone, the DC superhero known as Cyborg, is set to appear in the forthcoming Doom Patrol series for DC Universe, which means he will be played by two different live-action actors at the same time. And Ray Fisher, who played Cyborg in Justice League after debuting Victor in a quick cameo during Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, wants fans to know that just because Joivan Wade has been cast as TV’s Cyborg does not mean plans have changed for his own role.
For over a year now, Warner Bros’ DC film universe has been plagued with the question of whether or not Ben Affleck would return as Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves’ Batman film, with rumors pointing to the actor leaving the role. And now there’s this new rumor going around claiming Fisher would depart DC’s cinematic universe. Fortunately, this rumor has been cleared up right away. Ray Fisher has confirmed that he isn’t quitting as DC’s big screen Cyborg.
“I don’t usually engage the rumor-mill, but it’s recent turn may be worth a little grist: I am NOT, nor do I have ANY intention of, leaving Cyborg,” Fisher tweeted, using his customary #BorgLife hashtag. “Furthermore, if/when the time comes for me to hang up my all-too-revealing mocap onesie, you will hear it from me directly.”
Besides Wade and Fisher, the character of Cyborg is also voiced by Shemar Moore in Warner Bros. Animation’s DC Universe animated feature films, and by Khary Payton in Teen Titans Go! and its recent movie adaptation. DC’s TV and movie universes do not share a space, so most fans did not expect the casting for Doom Patrol to include Fisher or impact his role. Still, there is always going to be some rumors rumbling — especially with the DC movie universe seemingly so up-in-the-air following the commercial failure of Justice League.
