I believe that's premature myself. Unless something substantive comes out, he'll be doing something in the near future. In fact, Whedon would still be working had Justice League been a success based...

It\s hard to know what either side is thinking at this point, IMO.

It wouldn't be easy for anyone to sue for slander in this regard, though. That's why it's not commonly done, especially for celebrities. All three of them might be completely innocent of any racism,...

That did happen, but it never lasts that long, unfortunately.

No doubt, CT.

Just started Devil in a Blue Dress (1990), the first Easy Rawlins novel by Walter Mosley.

But if the charge is serious enough regardless of criminal intent, an NDA won't be enough of a cover for a corporation to hide behind. Would WB sue Fisher over allegations of racial remarks directed...

Marvel seems to beat DC whatever the latter does (since the late '60s, BTW), so it's not like its something new.

Maybe, but billion-dollar films don't grow on trees. Yeah, they could replace him, but that's somewhat problematic for a superhero without a mask.

He's the star of a billion-dollar film that's the beginning of a franchise, so that gives him enough clout and then some. Momoa backing up Fisher with specifics would certainly move things Ray's way...

Except those two have far, far more leverage than Fisher does, so the idea they would lose acting roles is remote. Of course, if they weren't with Ray when any of this insinuated stuff actually...

Heh. It's funny, because it's so true. :D

Most likely, Johnny.

Well, there's no reason why Ray couldn't have played John or an African-American Barry instead, FWIW.

Yeah, I\m pretty sure this is not what he really wanted by this point. :)

Yes, but for public pressure to work, specifics need to be stated. Eventually, Ray will have to tell us what happened in detail in order to attain his goal(s).

Not just a racist, but a "blatant" racist. What does that mean? Was Geoff calling Ray the n-word or burning crosses on his lawn? ;)

"Will the real Big Bad in Ray Fisher's eyes this week please stand up?"

You can see it enough in movies and television shows pre-'70s, FWIW.

On the Kindle front, the latest novel I'm reading is The Saint's Getaway (1932), the eighth Simon Templar work by Leslie Charteris.

He\s not going to lose his relationship with WB/DC regarding Fisher as long as he\s making money for them.

Yeah, it worked a heck of lot better back in the '70s than it does now, but the whole "GL hasn't done anything for the black man" rubbed me the wrong way even then. The late, great Denny O'Neill...

Latest hard-copy novel: The Secret Weapon (2020), the first installment in the Alexander King series by Bradley Wright.

Unfortunately for Ray, the most entertaining aspect of all of this is his career going up in flames.

Basically, his strategy has met a dead end, so unless he starts to actually state specifics or go to court, Ray is only wasting his time now.
