Wonder Woman 1984 co-writer Geoff Johns, a writer and producer at WarnerMedia, has no plans on leaving the company and is currently working on multiple projects for the media conglomerate.
The news comes after Ray Fisher claimed that Johns would be leaving WarnerMedia due to the investigation into his behavior during the production of Justice League. However, Variety confirmed that this is not the case and that Johns will continue to work as showrunner for Season 2 of The CW's Stargirl and as an executive producer for Batwoman, Doom Patrol, Titans and the upcoming Superman & Lois.
The Justice League saga Fisher is referring to began earlier this summer, when he accused Joss Whedon, who took over directorial duties on Justice League following Zack Snyder's departure due to a family tragedy, of "gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable" behavior on the set of the superhero ensemble. He also alleged that producers Johns and Jon Berg enabled Whedon's behavior.
Weeks later, WarnerMedia and Warner Bros. launched a formal investigation into Fisher's claims. However, the corporation announced that Fisher was not cooperating with the investigator it hired to look into the matter and that Fisher failed to provide evidence to back up his claims. It also denied the Cyborg actor's later allegation that DC Films President Walter Hamada asked Fisher to relent on Johns and focus solely on Berg and Whedon. In response, Fisher called for a third-party investigation.
The investigation concluded in early December 2020, with WarnerMedia stating that "remedial action" had been taken. On Jan. 7, the company reiterated that "We have full confidence in its thoroughness and integrity, and remedial action has been taken. The investigation has concluded, and it is time to move on." It also said that it was led by a former federal judge and interviewed over 80 people.
Fisher issued this Twitter thread to dispute reports that he publicly resigned from appearing as Cyborg in the upcoming Flash movie. However, Fisher wrote on Twitter on Dec. 30 that he "will not participate in any production associated" with Hamada, who is responsible for 2022's The Flash after receiving a multi-year contract extension.
WarnerMedia parted ways with Joss Whedon through its subsidiary HBO after The Avengers director stepped down from his role of showrunner for the sci-fi series The Nevers. "This year of unprecedented challenges has impacted my life and perspective in ways I could never have imagined," Whedon said at the time. Fisher believes that Whedon's departure was a result of the Justice League investigation.
