He had to admit he was introduced to the character Cyborg like many of us from Cartoon Network’s “Teen Titians”. Because this is the first time Cyborg is being seen in a live-action film there is some pressure to satisfy the comic fans.
Luckily no one has ever seen him in a movie before, but no one has seen me in a movie either. For me it’s about finding what’s unique about Victor Stone/ Cyborg’s story. I understands that people feel strongly about these characters. I’m excited to see them bring more of the comic characters to the forefront and choosing to add some diversity in the genre on screen. Especially black characters and characters of color/minorities.
So being that this is the first time Cyborg is being portrayed by anyone I asked if there were any characters he was drawing from pat or present, hero or villain.
Chris Terrio who is writing the script is very involved with his actors. We have the new 52’s, (a 2011 revamped re-launch by DC comics of it’s monthly books) where Cyborg actually becomes a part of the Justice League when in the past he was just a part of Teen Titians, but things may change for the sake of the film so that it’ll all make sense. So no, I’m really not drawing from anyone in particular. I feel that Cyborg has to be unique, extremely unique.
With Fisher already confirmed in not only being involved in Batman v Superman, The next two Justice League films, and in Cyborg’s on stand alone film in 2020 I had to ask if there was any anxiousness about shooting his character’s story, and most importantly if there was anything her could reveal about Cyborg’s costume or makeup.
Not at all. (he laughs) They have concept art but that may change. I can give you absolutely nothing. Everything is hush-hush in the comic book world. They like to keep it a secret for the fans. Of course I’m ready to tell his story. We live in an age of urgency. But for now I’m using my time wisely preparing for his role. There’s never a such thing s being too prepared for a something like this.
Fisher offered some inspiring words to the young kids growing up in the town of Lawnside following his footsteps.
Hard work is an absolute given, but anything’s possible. I know that I didn’t end up where he is now if it wasn’t for a little luck and being in the right place at the right time, and that the studios definitely could have went another way with bring the comics onscreen. They could have went with the traditional version that included Martian Man or Hawk Girl as well. Things have just aligned themselves in a way where I can go out and do what I love to do.
I would say that the stars are aligning just right for this next shooting star, and for me, local role model. Look for Lawnside’s very own Ray Fisher in the upcoming movies Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice out 2016, Justice Leagues Part 1& 2 out 2017 & 2019 and already confirmed Cyborg stand alone movie in 2020!
