With his star-making turn as Cyborg in Justice League, the 30-year-old actor makes the leap from stage to screen in an epic way.
THESE DAYS, ACTORS DON’T JUST SIGN ON FOR A SINGLE FILM; they hitch their star to entire cinematic universes. For Ray Fisher, who was first cast as Cyborg in Justice League all the way back in mid-2014, it has occasionally felt a little more like falling into a black hole. “It’s like I’ve been counting down to Christmas,” Fisher says, “but for the last three years.”
Thankfully, all that waiting came to an end last month when the superhero film finally hit theatres. Audiences were given their first opportunity to catch Fisher in action as the cybernetic crime fighter, saving the world from CGI devastation alongside Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, Ben Affleck’s Batman and fellow franchise novices Ezra Miller (the Flash) and Jason Momoa (Aquaman)—as part of DC Comics’ most powerfully synergistic super-team.
Amazingly, the gargantuan production isn’t just Fisher’s first major Hollywood project—it’s his first real film role, period. But the 30-year-old actor says it was worth the wait for a debut of this scale.
Plus, it’s not even like this is the first time he’s had to keep a role on ice for so long. “What’s crazy, man, is I feel like the milestones in my career have all had a gap between them,” he says.
