Ray Fisher’s Unique Experience in Justice League
Remember the Justice League movie? For stars like Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck, it was a chance to slip into fabulous costumes designed to look just like the ones in the original comics. But for Ray Fisher, who played Cyborg, it was a slightly different experience. He didn’t get to wear a rad costume like the others. Instead, Fisher acted in a special CGI suit, which was then digitally altered in post-production to look like the Cyborg gear.
The Struggles of Being a ‘Digital’ Superhero
It may sound cool to some being a ‘digital superhero’, but for Fisher, it wasn’t all fun and games. His fellow actors got to see what they’d look like as superheroes right away. But Fisher had to wait until the final cut to see his character’s look. “I wore a CGI onesie,” Fisher explained, “Sometimes, I got to wear a muscle suit with a hoodie and sweatpants. It kind of felt like I was one of them. But I really wished I had a real costume like them.”
Making Friends Despite Costume Differences
Even though Fisher felt a bit left out, it didn’t stop the Justice League cast from becoming good buddies. They spent a lot of time together on set and formed some really close bonds. Even so, Fisher confessed that he did feel a bit alienated at times. His experience was just so different from everyone else’s—spending all his time in that onesie must have gotten pretty lonely!
Cyborg Brings Applause Despite CGI Complications
Despite the rigors of working in a CGI suit, Fisher’s portrayal of Cyborg was spot on. Most fans of the movie would agree that Fisher’s performance made Cyborg seem more human than machine. He managed to give quite a spectacular performance, even when it was hard to see past all the heavy digital effects used for his character.
Clashing with the Big Guys on Set
Fisher’s experience on set wasn’t just about feeling left out because of his costume. He later shared that he had some pretty serious beef with Joss Whedon, who directed the reshoots for Justice League. Fisher claimed that Whedon acted horribly to everyone on set. He even said that Geoff Johns and Jon Berg, who were in charge on set, let Whedon get away with it. Both Johns and Berg, however, have denied any wrongdoing.
A Silver Lining after Justice League
Although his Justice League experiences were a mix of good and bad, Ray Fisher’s future is looking up. The actor is set to star in a Netflix movie by Zack Snyder called Rebel Moon. Snyder, who directed the original cut of Justice League, has always had a soft spot for Fisher. It’s clear the feeling is mutual, with Fisher excited about reuniting with Snyder and taking on the role of Darian Bloodaxe.
Fisher’s Future Still Glitters, Despite the Risks of CGI Roles
Despite his run-in with the folks at Warner Bros, Ray Fisher’s Hollywood journey is far from over. He’s shown that no obstacle is too great, not even being stuck in a CGI onesie! The story of his time in the Justice League, both the good and the bad, proves that success isn’t always easy to come by. But with enough dedication and patience, even the most daunting challenges can be overcome. After all, not everything in a superhero movie is as glamorous as it seems—especially when you’re playing a complicated CGI character like Cyborg!
Conclusion
In conclusion, Justice League’s Ray Fisher had a different on-set experience thanks to his digital suit. Despite the challenges he faced, his tale is a testament to the power of resilience. Now to be seen in Zack Snyder’s Netflix project Rebel Moon, Fisher reminds us that the journey to success may not always be smooth, even for superheroes!
