DC/WB Contracts for Justice League actors Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher expire this month
- Thread starter Arthands
- Start date
He was terrible. I have a lot of problems with it all-I'm one of the few people that didn't like Ben Affleck in the role-but regardless...Ezra was just completely miscast. WB was really pushing him for some reason and I just find him unlikable.
It was so obvious that Cyborg was never going to be made. Every other movie made sense but that one.
Fuck, at this point, just upgrade the CWverse into the main movieverse. Do the CW Crisis, pay Gadot a shit ton of money to appear, and in the universal reboot, make the CW cast the movie heroes. CW Superman can be movie Superman, too. Patterson becomes Batman, Gadot sticks it out as WW, Mamoa is WW, Amell is a proper Green Arrow, Gustin is Flash, and then recast Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter.
Hey if Disney was able to make Ironman a household name clearly WB could do the same for Cyborg right?
There any good solo Cyborg stories to draw inspiration from?
Classic Cyborg Stories:
- Devil in a Vial
- Fanati
- Vest Strife
- The Visor in the Cyborg
The irony of this scene is that in a few years, I too will be like Bruce Wayne wondering if it really happened or if I dreamt the whole thing up.
Quelle surprise.
It honestly never made much sense at that point. If they hadn't fucked up Green Lantern years before, that felt like the obvious choice.
I imagine they're gonna reboot, the successful character will retain their actor, but while technically a 'new' character in the reboot, they just happened to have very similar backstory as the old movies.
DCEU needs a complete reboot.
They got a lot of potential but WB is doing squat on taking advantage of this.
DCEU should be toe on toe with MCU.
DCEU should become the DCCU lol.
Feel bad for Ray Fisher. You can tell how excited he was about the role and he doesn't have much going on now. Ezra Miller will be fine though
I doubt there's going to be any continuity. Robert Pattinson's Batman is no more likely to show up in other movies (outside any potential sequels I mean) than Joaquin Phoenix's Joker is in Suicide Squad. Kinda get the feeling DC is distancing itself from the shared universe concept and we may end up with multiple actors portraying the same character across different movies.
Which is a bit of a shame because Endgame showed you can totally pull off a brawl between several superheroes and a really big supervillain. Would've truly been epic to see the Justice League smackdown with Darkseid.
I mean even if they go in that route, that doesn't prevent team up movies.
Imagine an alternate universe where Man of Steel was a massive success and a perfect jump start for the wildly successful DC Cinematic Universe and at this point we'd all be getting excited over Justice League: Endgame, all while Marvel struggles to get their equivalent cinematic universe going.
Damn that sucks. I liked Ezra Miller as the Flash. I just wish he had a really good movie to actually convince everyone else.
I thought Ray Fisher did a good job with what he was given and would've liked to see him come back at some point for another DC movie.

I thought Cyborg was one of the better characters in Justice League. He did fine with what he was given.
DC is doing fine, they just gotta keep them standalone, dropping any pretense of a shared cinematic universe. I'll bet they will recast Gadot and Momoa when needed too.
Just pick better release dates pls :p
Shazam being in the middle of Endgame and Captain Marvel wasn't a great idea.

Great decision, a lot of Justice League/JLU builds on plot threads and villains that started in S:TAS, and it's just a really good show too.
Miller and Fisher would have been fine once given their own movies, same as Gadot and Momoa. Before Aquaman's release I saw his name lumped with those two and now he isn't. Momoa got lucky his film was greenlit before the DCEU received such poor reception.
Especially Miller, it's crazy The Flash of all DC projects can't get off the ground.

It might do. The last time they did a team up movie it was a mess that everyone hated. Sure you could maybe convince the big wigs that you won't screw up Batman vs Superman the way Snyder did and Superman vs Shazam would be one of the most hype movies ever but the chances of it actually happening? About zero.
The Cyborg movie never happening has to be the easiest early call ever made in terms of big time comic book films. I don't think they were fooling anyone when that came up.
Well one had poor writing, and also why does it need to be superheros vs each other? Superman and Shazam teaming up against Black Adam or whatever. Like it's not that hard to think of scenario where 2 or 3 heroes team up. Basically it's a wait in see with WB. We already know they aren't abandoning the shared universe, and we also know that they will me making standalone elseworld movies.
I watched Justice League last night, Ezra Miller's line delivery was akin to Chris Griffin from Family Guy - awkward and out of place.
Hopefully WB/DC get it together and cast better people in the roles in the future.
Can't help but feel really bad for Fisher. He clearly tried his damnedest to work with what he had and honestly it comes off as one of the more charming performances in JL. He could've done a whole lot more under some actual solid direction, much like Momoa in Aquaman.
I actually liked Miller's performance as Flash as well but I'm a lot less sympathetic after his attempts at rewiring the Flash script to go darker and edgier. Such a blatant misunderstanding of what's actually needed right now, and if he ain't willing to play ball he's best off getting replaced.

Aquaman and Wonder Woman have been household names for decades.
I don't think WB is in a rough spot. Their prior effort at expanding DC movies beyond Batman & Superman resulted in Green Lantern. Justice League was obviously intended as a launching vehicle for DC movies but even with it being unsuccessful Aquaman and Shazam worked. Suicide Squad and Batman are also likely to be successful.
