Star Wars actor John Boyega recently voiced his frustrations on Disney for being unable to write characters of color and shared his experiences with racism. Now, other actors are also joining the conversation, including Justice League star, Ray Fisher.
A fan recently asked for a live discussion between Fisher and Boyega about their own Hollywood experiences and the struggles they have faced. The Cyborg actor seemingly thinks this is a good idea. However, Fisher says explaining accountability is greater than that of entertainment and that he can't say anything about his experience yet until the investigation at Warner Bros. has been concluded. You can check out his response below.
Fisher has been calling attention to issues in the entertainment industry, most recently, he called out former Joss Whedon for his unprofessional treatment and behavior of the cast and crew on set, with DC Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns allegedly enabling him.
As for Boyega, he claimed that he and co-star Kelly Marie Tran were pushed aside with all the nuance given to their co-stars Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver. As the pair have been candid about their experiences in the industry both Fisher and Boyega's comments have been gaining a lot of the fans' attention, acknowledging the challenges they faced as people of color.
Zack Snyder's Justice League will explore the origin story of Fisher's Cyborg, set for release on HBO Max in 2021. Meanwhile, Boyega's upcoming project, Small Axe, arrives later this month.
