Ray Fisher Is Speaking Out Now After DC Controversy, Career Resurgence With New Movie Role: 'I Don't Want To Feel Resentful'

As a long-time fan of Ray Fisher‘s work, I have been captivated by his journey from the tumultuous DCEU days to his current resurgence. His role as Cyborg was iconic, but it seems that off-screen drama overshadowed on-screen triumphs for a while. However, Fisher has proven himself to be a true artist who refuses to let hardships define him.

37-year-old actor Ray Fisher has a diverse portfolio of projects, but he’s most famously recognized for portraying Cyborg in both versions of Justice League (available for streaming with a Max subscription). Known not only for his acting talent, Fisher is also associated with his disputes with DC, particularly those who held leadership positions during his time within the DCEU. Now, following the resolution of his DC-related issues, Fisher is opening up about his career revival as he takes on a new movie role. He was recently quoted saying, “I don’t wish to harbor resentment.

Ray Fisher, in previous statements, expressed that the reshoots for “Justice League” were filled with resentment. However, during a conversation with Variety about his latest project, “The Piano Lesson,” at the Toronto International Film Festival, he appears to be moving past that chapter. He candidly discussed the struggles faced by the characters in the film, likening them to hardships he has encountered himself.

The significant contribution to this entire process has been the work of August Wilson. His skillful portrayal of conflicting elements within the play, as well as his characters, is truly commendable. There seems to be a touch of Lymon Jackson in us all – an innocence that fades over time, particularly when faced with adversity, especially long-lasting hardships. For me, this piece served as a refreshing change, given my own personal struggles and professional setbacks.

It’s straightforward to link Fisher’s remarks back to his time on the Justice League set, along with the conflict that subsequently developed between him and ex-WB head Walter Hamada. The actor frequently criticized the studio through his public platform, which coincided with what seemed like a stagnation in his acting career.

In his conversation with Variety, Fisher discussed his upcoming roles. Firstly, he’s back on-screen for Zack Snyder’s “Rebel Moon” franchise, available through a Netflix subscription. However, his part in “The Piano Lesson” is more substantial, as it’s an adaptation of August Wilson’s play of the same name. Furthermore, echoing his character in the upcoming movie, Fisher expressed a desire to avoid dwelling on resentment throughout this interview.

Instead of dwelling on the past or harboring feelings of resentment over past events, I choose to let go and progress. That’s the symbolism behind Lymon for me.

It appears that “The Piano Lesson” brought art and life together powerfully, making it intriguing to observe how this influence manifests in his film acting. Could this mark the beginning of a significant resurgence for him in Hollywood? The future remains uncertain, but Ray Fisher seems determined to move past his emotions concerning “Justice League.

Following the conclusion of the DCEU, there’s speculation among fans about whether Fisher could potentially feature in a future DC movie within James Gunn’s emerging shared universe, known as “Gods and Monsters”. However, specifics regarding Gunn’s casting decisions for these projects are currently unclear.

The play “The Piano Lesson” is set to open in selected cinemas on November 8, 2024. After that, it will be available for streaming on Netflix starting November 22. To prepare for your movie outings in the coming year, take a look at the scheduled release dates for 2025.
