Ray Fisher cast as Cyborg in Batman Vs Superman

Posted on by

The Justice League member Cyborg will be played by actor Ray Risher, who will have a small role in Batman Vs Superman film starring Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck.

Variety reports that after testing multiple actors for the role, Fisher has been cast as the Justice League member Cyborg. While hes reportedly not a major part of Batman Vs Superman, he does have a larger role in the DC universe.

Cyborgs name is Victor Stone, and he may become a larger part of DCs universe as Warner Bros. begins to roll out solo superhero films to go along with their superhero stuffed films.

He will be joining Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman in what has become quite a star filled cast.

Henry Cavill recently mentioned Cyborg during Man of Steels bonus features, saying, I think he would create an incredible bridge between superheroes and humanity, Cavill said of the Cyborg character. He may have even known that an actor was currently being searched for to play the character when filming the behind-the-scenes footage for the bonus discs.

Oscar Award winning actress Holly Hunter recently joined the cast in an unknown role, as well as a few other fellow actresses that will be filling out the final few roles in the currently untitled film.

Snyder has continued to surprise fans, as he cast Jesse Eisenberg as the films villain Lex Luthor and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. We do have some faith in his casting choices, though, and Holly Hunter is certainly a highly talented actress, which should help raise the film to a higher level.

Director Zack Snyder has jammed his movie with talented actors and new characters, so well be curious to see what ends up being the focus of the film.

Batman Vs Supermans release date is set for May 6, 2016. Man of Steel actor Henry Cavill will return along with Amy Adams as Lois Lane.

Rousey won't be disciplined

BALTIMORE -- It doesn't seem like Ronda Rousey is going to be disciplined for calling Cris Cyborg "an it."

UFC president Dana White said in his pre-UFC 172 media scrum Thursday that he doesn't believe Rousey's comments were of a homophobic or transphobic nature and that a reporter who called GLAAD is an "idiot."

"She's not a transgender fighter," White said of Cyborg. "She's a woman. What Ronda is saying is [Cyborg has] taken so many drugs, she's probably not a woman anymore. She's not a transgender fighter. She didnt have a surgery."

Rousey's full quote to Yahoo! was as follows: "This girl has been on steroids for so long and [has been] injecting herself for so long that she's not even a woman anymore. She's an 'it.'"

Cyborg was busted for steroids in 2009, but has not tested positive since in organizations outside of the UFC. White said it's the fight business and "people say mean things about each other."

Cris Cyborg was popped for performance-enhancing drugs in 2011.

Rousey's words, though, caused quite a stir. MMA apparel brand Americana even offered $5,000 to the first fighter to knock Rousey out. Rousey, the UFC women's bantamweight champion, defends her belt against Alexis Davis at UFC 175 on July 5.

"She called [Cyborg] an 'it,'" White said. "[Cyborg] calls Ronda a chicken. Is Ronda a chicken? Should Ronda be offended by being called a chicken? Grow the f*** up, everybody."

Cris Cyborg: Ronda Rousey is UFC's paper champion, her opponents are handpicked

Posted on by

The Cris Cyborg vs. Ronda Rousey and Dana White drama never ends.

Earlier this week, Rousey called Cyborg "an it," saying "shes not even a woman anymore" after "injecting herself for so long."

UFC president Dana White didnt see anything wrong with Rousey's statement, telling the media at Thursday's pre-UFC 172 scrum that the Brazilian "looked like Wanderlei Silva in a dress and heels" at the World MMA Awards.

Cyborg didnt like those comments, but wont fire back.

"I thought the comparison was funny," Cyborg told MMAFighting.com. "Im a big fan of Wanderlei Silva, hes a big international idol."

Many people think that Rousey should be fined for her comments about Cyborg, but the Brazilian never expected it.

"Im not surprised (she wasnt punished) because shes UFCs paper champion," she said. "They obviously would never punish her, even because her opponents are handpicked.

"I always admired Dana White as a great businessman that always believed in MMA and helped our sport to grow around the world. And Im sure that, with the power he has, he would never go against his paper champion."

Cyborg expects to defend her Invicta FC featherweight title "soon," and eyes a bantamweight clash with Rousey in the horizon.

"Everything she says motivates me to get inside the Octagon against her," Cyborg said. "I dont keep sadness, I keep names."

Dana White co-signs Ronda Rousey, says Cyborg Justino once looked like 'Wanderlei Silva in a dress and heels'

Posted on by

BALTIMORE, Md. -- There are a number of topics unrelated to any particular UFC event that still manage to crawl into and embed themselves as the key signpost of conversation. At the post-media day scrum with UFC President Dana White on Thursday, the seemingly perennial issue of Ronda Rousey fueding through the media with former Strikeforce women's featherweight champion Cyborg Justino filled just that role.

Recently, Rousey told Yahoo Sports she believed Justino would be someone serviceable as an opponent despite years of what she believed were abuse of performance-enhancing drugs. "This girl has been on steroids for so long and [has been] injecting herself for so long that she's not even a woman anymore. She's an 'it.' It's not good for the women's division. It's not good at all," Rousey said.

When asked about the comment, which treads on notions of female identity, White was quick to defend Rousey's position to the media in attendance.

"There was a reporter in Canada who said he was going to call GLAAD [Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation] to see how they felt about it. Are you a f--king idiot?," White asked the media. "First of all, she's not a transgender fighter. She's a woman, OK? What Ronda's saying is, she's taken so many drugs that she's probably not a woman anymore. She's not a transgender fighter. She didn't have a surgery. What a moron."

When pressed on whether White had any issue with the insensitivity of Rousey's comment, White was unequivocal.

"I think that this is the fight business and people say mean things about each other," he said. "Is it not true? She got busted for taken winstrol. The same drug Ben Johnson took and many other athletes took, to do what? To cheat. Ronda called her a f--king cheater."

I responded to White that calling someone an it and a cheater don't amount to the same thing. White agreed, but ultimately suggested this was a matter of semantics.

"She called her an it. [Cyborg] calls Ronda a chicken. Should Ronda be offended at being called a chicken? Grow the f--k up, everybody."

Still, White said his own feelings about Cyborg, from a physical appearance perspective, don't deviate much from the core of Rousey's 'it' insult.

"I said, when I saw [Justino] at the MMA Awards, she looked like Wanderlei Silva in a dress and heels. And she did, did she not? Who wants to dispute that she didn't look like Wanderlei?

"Man of Steel"

A New York theater actor has nabbed the part of Cyborg in the untitled Batman-Superman movie being made by Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment.

Ray Fisher, who is perhaps best known for portraying a young Muhammad Ali in the stage production Fetch Clay, Make Man, is in negotiations to play Victor Stone, the promising football player whose life is derailed and is forced to become the hero known as Cyborg, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Batman-Superman is on the surface a sequel to Man of Steel, which starred Henry Cavill as Superman, but it is also acting a building block to a bigger DC film universe.

Already cast in the movie are Ben Affleck as Batman and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. The movie has several other actors whose parts have not been revealed, as Warners is trying to keep the whole process mysterious and secret.

Stone/Cyborg was for decades a member of the Teen Titans, a group of heroes that included the sidekicks of adult heroes such as Robin, Wonder Girl and Kid Flash. The character became retrofitted to be a member of the Justice League in 2011, when DC Entertainment relaunched its comic book line as the New 52.

Warners quietly added the character to its casting call several months ago, when it began looking for a physically fit black actor. The part at the time called for only one scene but promised more in terms of future movies.

It is unclear if the part is still one scene.

'Man Of Steel' Sequel Finds Its Cyborg

The "Man of Steel" sequel just took another major step toward setting up an eventual Justice League of America film.

According to Variety, Ray Fisher, a noted theater actor, has been tapped for the role of Victor Stone or Cyborg, the half-man, half-machine superhero who started off as a member of the Teen Titans before graduating to the JLA.

Warner Bros. and DC Comics conducted screen tests over the past couple of weeks before landing on Fisher, who is most widely known for playing Muhammad Ali in the Broadway play "Fetch Clay, Make Man" and for his recent testing for J.J. Abrams' upcoming "Star Wars: Episode VII."

While Cyborg's role will be small, he'll become a more significant character as the studio develops more films for the Justice League universe. Cyborg's casting may be also be a sign that DC Comics paid attention to the successful integration of The Falcon, another African-American superhero, to Marvel's recent blockbuster, Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier.

"I think he would create an incredible bridge between superheroes and humanity," Cavill said of the Cyborg character in bonus feature on the recent "Man of Steel" home video release.

Fisher joins a cast that already includes Henry Cavill (Superman), Ben Affleck (Batman), Jesse Eisenberg (Lex Luthor), Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman) and Amy Adams (Lois Lane).

Zack Snyder is returning as director for the production, which is currently already under way in Michigan.
