THE FLASH Director Hints That Cyborg May Not Appear in The Movie
Yesterday, word came out that Ray Fisher's Cyborg character — who we were first introduced to in a brief scene in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice — is apparently going to be a part of the upcoming The Flash movie that stars Ezra Miller and has Rick Famuyiwa lined up to direct. That news came from Variety (read: a largely credible source), and we'd previously heard that The Flash and Cyborg were going to be buddies in the DC Extended Universe, so everything made sense.
Except...well, I suppose there's a chance Cyborg won't actually be in the movie. Famuyiwa took to Twitter yesterday and got in on the "Says Who" hashtag action that was going around:
This could very well be the director just messing around and having some fun at the expense of the Trump campaign, but it could also be a hint that this info isn't true (or maybe was true in an earlier draft of the script, but is no longer true).
I'm guessing Cyborg is really in the movie, and Famuyiwa is just screwing with us. WB and DC have already adopted Marvel's method of including its characters in other franchise movies to create a sense of interconnectedness, and I don't see that trend stopping any time soon.
