UPDATE: Ray Fisher says that The Wrap’s initial report that he would be written out of The Flash because he will no longer be a part of DC Films while Walter Hamada is present is inaccurate.

He sent out a series of tweets on Thursday:

I strongly suggest that @TheWrap amend this article immediately.

While I appreciate the reporter’s undying desire to do @wbpictures and Walter Hamada’s bidding—it is factually inaccurate.

I did not publicly step down from anything.

If @wbpictures has made the decision to remove me from The Flash, rather than address, in any way, Walter Hamada tampering with the JL investigation—that’s on them.

The idea of removing the role, rather than recasting it, is only being used to try to avoid public backlash.

The @wbpictures pr team has struggled to regain control of the narrative ever since they failed to bury me and the JL investigation with their September 4th hit piece—which, unsurprisingly, was written by the same reporter.

(More on WB pr and Johanna Fuentes later…)

The fact is: the Justice League investigation led to @WarnerMedia (and it’s affiliates) parting ways with Joss Whedon.

Geoff Johns will be following suit.

Had Walter Hamada gotten his way, NONE of that would have been possible, and the cycle of abuse would’ve continued.

My team and I are still in deep conversation with @WarnerMedia regarding all these matters and—Flash or no Flash—we fully intend to see this through.

I’ll keep you all posted, but in the meantime—thank you for your continued support????????

Previously reported: DC Films is moving forward with their projects without Ray Fisher by writing him out of their upcoming The Flash film.

According to The Wrap, Fisher has been officially removed from the film following his recent comments about never working with DC Films and its president Walter Hamada. In a Dec. 30, 2020 tweet, Fisher accused Hamada of trying to undermine WarnerMedia’s Justice League investigation of misconduct and called “the most dangerous kind of enabler.”

Walter Hamada is the most dangerous kind of enabler.

His lies, and WB PR’s failed Sept 4th hit-piece, sought to undermine the very real issues of the Justice League investigation.

I will not participate in any production associated with him.

As late as Jan. 5, Fisher was still speaking out against Hamada. After Hamada’s contract with Warner Bros. was extended, Fisher wrote that “Walter Hamada was working directly with Geoff Johns and Toby emmerich (on Shazam) DURING Justice League reshoots.” Johns, a Justice League producer, was one of the people who created a toxic working environment, according to Fisher’s claims. Others accused by Fisher included director Joss Whedon and producer Jon Berg.

It’s weird how these reactionary announcements from @wbpictures always forget to mention that Walter Hamada was working directly with Geoff Johns and Toby Emmerich (on Shazam) DURING Justice League reshoots…

More soon.
