Filmmaker Joss Whedon is finally speaking out about claims of misconduct on the set of “Justice League” from actors Ray Fisher and Gal Gadot.
Fisher, who played Cyborg in the 2017 Warner Bros. DC Comics film, previously claimed Whedon’s behavior on the set of extensive reshoots were “gross” and “unprofessional,” and accused Whedon and executives of lightening his skin tone. His comments triggered an internal investigation by WarnerMedia.
In a profile in New York Magazine, Whedon says claims that he lightened Fisher’s skin tone were “false and unjust,” noting that he gave the entire film a lighter and more colorful look in contrast to the metallic palette of Zack Snyder’s original version (seen in the four-hour “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”).
