Warner Bros/Joss Whedon/Ray Fisher Justice League

[SecretWarrior]

Fisher praised Whedon genuinely at the SDCC panel. Of course he took back those words lately. But you can tell from that Fisher wasn’t clashing with Whedon or Johns all the time. He obviously made a compromise sometime during the reshooting. So Johns might think despite the creative differences we had at first, “we’re good now”. After all, it’s a common thing that people have creative differences and they reach an agreement at last.

Actors are contractually forbidden from expressing negative opinions about a film before it comes out and for a short while afterward in order to not hurt box office sales. Studios don't want unsatisfied actors doing press tours saying the movie is crap. Brad Pitt got in trouble for this once, and the Game of Thrones cast felt uncomfortable talking about the writing for Season 8 before it came out. After GoT had concluded, they shared their real opinions.

Did the actors even see the final cut of the film by SDCC? Did Fisher have enough experience to form an opinion on Whedon's directorial style? Justice League was his first film. Ben Affleck talks about how Kevin Smith did things directors normally don't do, like giving specific acting cues to the actors, which skewed his perception of directors on later projects.
