KEY POINTS

  • WarnerMedia has launched an investigation into allegations of misconduct while filming "Justice League" 
  • Ray Fisher confirmed the news on Twitter and noted that it is a "massive step forward" 
  • In July, Fisher claimed that Joss Whedon was responsible for the toxic work environment on the set of "Justice League"

After weeks of speculations and claims about the toxic and abusive work environment while filming the "Justice League" reshoots, WarnerMedia has finally initiated an investigation.

Actor Ray Fisher confirmed the news on his official Twitter account and noted that a third-party investigation has been launched by the production giant. Fisher had recently spoken about the alleged misconduct by Joss Whedon and the film's producers while making the movie.

An outside company is expected to release a report about what went wrong during the reshoots. There have been no findings yet and no timeline for the investigation, Variety confirmed.

Fisher believes the investigation is a "massive step forward" and will help get to the "heart" of the problem. He also said the findings will tell a lot about the toxic and abusive work environment created during the reshoots.

The star also claimed that a lot of cast and crew members of the movie were interviewed before the organization took the decision of launching an investigation.

"After 5 weeks of interviews with various cast/crew, @WarnerMedia has officially launched an independent third-party investigation to get to the heart of the toxic and abusive work environment created during Justice League reshoots. This is a MASSIVE step forward!" Fisher wrote.

In another tweet, Fisher mentioned the names of filmmaker Joss Whedon and producers Geoff Johns and Jon Berg, claiming they "grossly abused their power" while the deal between Time Warner and AT&T was still in negotiations.

"I believe this investigation will show that Geoff Johns, Joss Whedon, Jon Berg (and others) grossly abused their power during the uncertainty of AT&T’s merger with Time Warner," Fisher wrote.

He also expressed gratitude toward the aforememtioned organizations for their efforts in ensuring a "safer workplace for all!"

The news of the investigation comes almost a month after the 32-year-old actor alleged that Whedon was highly “unprofessional” on the set and called his behavior completely “unacceptable.”

"Joss Wheadon’s on-set treatment of the cast and crew of Justice League was gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. He was enabled, in many ways, by Geoff Johns and Jon Berg. Accountability>Entertainment," Fisher wrote at that time.

Fisher will soon be seen playing Cyborg in Zack Snyder’s “Justice League” that is slated to hit HBO Max in 2021.
