Theater actor Ray Fisher has landed the role of Cyborg in the upcoming Warner Bros. superhero film BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN. He joins a huge cast that includes Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman and Amy Adams as Lois Lane. Cyborg is a member of the Justice League and although he won’t have a large role in this movie, it’s opens the door for other projects to feature the character.
Cyborg, aka Victor Stone, is a superhero whose body was destroyed in a tragic accident, but his life was saved through experimental technology. His body parts have been replaced with a large arsenal of high-tech gadgets and weaponry, while constantly providing life support.
Fisher is well known in theater circles, having portrayed Muhammad Ali in “Fetch Clay, Make Man.” Fisher was also testing for J.J. Abrams upcoming “Star Wars: Episode VII” which he will probably be too busy to commit to now.
Fisher is repped by ICM.
