Ray Fisher Reacts To Being Cast In Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon Movie

Ray Fisher has reacted very keenly to being cast in Zack Snyder’s new sci-fi action movie Rebel Moon. Snyder’s Netflix original film was originally envisioned as the director's pitch for a Star Wars film, but later reimagined as a standalone entity. The film follows a small galactic colony that is overtaken by a tyrannical army. A brave woman, set to be played by The Mummy’s Sofia Boutella, is then sent on an adventure to find a hero to save the community from dictatorship.

Fisher made his breakout in Hollywood when Snyder cast him as Cyborg in the DCEU. A relative unknown stage actor, Fisher was quickly a hot prospect following his brief introduction in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. His first major appearance, however, was in 2017's Justice League, which experienced a turbulent production and led to a controversial theatrical cut from Joss Whedon after Snyder's exit from the project. Many felt that Fisher’s Cyborg was sidelined for other characters in Whedon's final version, but this was ultimately remedied when Snyder managed to release his original vision for the film after the long-running #ReleaseTheSnyderCut campaign. On February 9, Snyder announced that Fisher had joined the cast of his upcoming Rebel Moon, alongside a handful of other actors.
