During a recent panel for the Justice League, Zack Snyder confirmed that the ‘soul’ of the movie was not Henry Cavill’s Superman but Ray Fisher’s Cyborg. This revelation has brought renewed attention to the character and Fisher’s performance.
Snyder’s Justice League was a much-anticipated movie. It represented his vision for the DC Extended Universe, which had been derailed by studio interference during the making of the original Justice League. The release of the Snyder Cut was a triumph for Snyder and his fans, who had campaigned tirelessly to release his version of the film.
The Soul of Justice League: Ray Fisher’s Cyborg
One of the standout performances in the Snyder Cut was Ray Fisher’s portrayal of Cyborg, a character who had been given short shrift in the theatrical release. Fisher’s performance gave depth and nuance to a character who had previously been underserved, and his character arc was one of the most compelling aspects of the movie.

During the panel hosted by Ray Porter, who played Darkseid in the movie, Porter introduced each cast member, including Fisher. When he introduced Fisher, he called him the ‘soul’ of the movie, to which Snyder enthusiastically agreed, saying, “Yes, that is true.”
This revelation has sparked a renewed interest in Cyborg and Fisher’s performance. Fans have now taken to social media to praise Fisher’s work and express their disappointment that he will not return to the role in the upcoming Flash movie.
Fisher has been vocal about his experiences working on the movie and his subsequent falling out with Warner Bros. He has accused the studio of misconduct during the reshoots for the theatrical release, and he has been a vocal advocate for accountability and transparency in the industry.
