The DCEU and Warner Media has been dealing with a lot of controversy recently, specifically in regards to Cyborg actor Ray Fisher. Head of Films Walter Hamada, was accused by Ray Fisher of ignoring reported abuse from Joss Whedon on the set of Justice League.
Recently, some insiders and the outlet, The Wrap, reported that Ray Fisher was removed from the Upcoming Flash movie. However, this does not appear to be the case as Ray Fisher has spoken out about this recent claim, denying the report.
The actor tweeted out:
"I strongly suggest that @TheWrap amend this article immediately. While I appreciate the reporter’s undying desire to do @wbpictures and Walter Hamada’s bidding—it is factually inaccurate. I did not publicly step down from anything. "
If @wbpictures has made the decision to remove me from The Flash, rather than address, in any way, Walter Hamada tampering with the JL investigation—that’s on them. The idea of removing the role, rather than recasting it, is only being used to try to avoid public backlash.
The @wbpictures pr team has struggled to regain control of the narrative ever since they failed to bury me and the JL investigation with their September 4th hit piece—which, unsurprisingly, was written by the same reporter. (More on WB pr and Johanna Fuentes later...)
The fact is: the Justice League investigation led to @WarnerMedia (and it’s affiliates) parting ways with Joss Whedon. Geoff Johns will be following suit. Had Walter Hamada gotten his way, NONE of that would have been possible, and the cycle of abuse would’ve continued.
My team and I are still in deep conversation with @WarnerMedia regarding all these matters and—Flash or no Flash—we fully intend to see this through. I’ll keep you all posted, but in the meantime—thank you for your continued support

According to Ray Fisher himself, he has not been removed from the Flash movie at this time, as was previously reported. As to what the future holds, it is unsure right now, but in the meantime, he is still in the film.
