Ray Fisher alleged that Joss Whedon's departure from the upcoming HBO series The Nevers is related to the investigation into the latter's behavior on the set of Justice League."I have no intention of allowing Joss Whedon to use the old Hollywood tactic of 'exiting', 'stepping down', or 'walking away' to cover for his terrible behavior," Fisher wrote on Twitter. "WarnerMedia's JL investigation has been in full swing for over 3 weeks now. This is undoubtedly a result of it. A>E."
Earlier this summer, Fisher accused 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 Geoff Johns and Jon Berg enabled Whedon's behavior.
Weeks later, WarnerMedia and Warner Bros. launched an investigation into Fisher's claims. However, the media conglomerate announced that Fisher is 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.
Whedon departed The Nevers on Nov. 25, citing "unprecedented challenges" in his life. "While developing and producing The Nevers has been a joyful experience, I realize that the level of commitment required moving forward, combined with the physical challenges of making such a huge show during a global pandemic, is more than I can handle without the work beginning to suffer," he said.
In Justice League, fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
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, Ciarán Hinds as Steppenwolf, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon. Zack Snyder's Justice League will premiere exclusively on HBO Max in 2021.
