With the cat thoroughly out of the bag for Warner Bros. and DC Comics upcoming slate of Justice League films, getting their shared universe off the ground in a matter of years, it appears the veil of silence surrounding the actors cast is beginning to lift. Just as Jason Momoa has offered his first comments on playing Aquaman, Ray Fisher long-reported to have landed the role of Vic Stone a.k.a. Cyborg has finally offered some insight into his own casting. Including his impressions from the set of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.

In an interview with EW, Fisher claims that he was just as surprised as the fans when DC and WB rolled out their full movie schedule. While the actor had jumped at the chance to cameo in Zack Snyders Batman V Superman and cross his fingers for what the future may hold the reveal of not just two Justice League movies but a solo film of his own in 2020 - was news to him:

I didnt know the extent to which DC and WB had planned on taking my character. When I signed on, I just wanted to be part of this world. But that specific information, I found out then and there. I didnt think Id be getting my own stand-alone film.

Im a long-game player and didnt see any of this happening until at least my 40s. Its a huge honor, but a bit of pressure comes along with it. My mind is just boggled right now.

Its not hard to grasp why the young actor (having recently bulked up to portray Muhammad Ali on stage) was taken aback, suddenly playing a pivotal role (if Henry Cavills thoughts on Cyborg are anything to go by) in not just the blockbuster Justice League universe, but meeting with director Ang Lee for another boxing role. But for the foreseeable future, its a role as Cyborg that has the New Jersey-born actor counting his blessings.

Even though Fishers role as Stone in Dawn of Justice has already been completed (having been filmed back in July), it was only days ago that his involvement was made public. But having already worked or met with Zack Snyders Batman (Ben Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) and Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg), Fishers description of the set should be encouraging for fans:

I met everyone in the Justice League except Henry Cavill and Ezra Miller. It was surreal. You get this idea of going to work on a Hollywood set as being really stressful and nerve-wracking. But it blew that stereotype away. If they did have stressful times, it wasnt while I was there.

Let me tell you, man people are in for a hell of a treat.
