"Justice League" is one of the most highly anticipated movies ever. With the Marvel Cinematic Universe hitting its stride over the recent years, fans have been clamoring for the DC movie world to deliver a massive impact respectively. "The Avengers" gave fans a thrill of a lifetime when they teamed up big-name superheroes on-screen while introducing new characters into the fold.
"Justice League" is looking to capture the same magic and present it in its own way. Fans will be able to see "Aquaman" and "The Flash" on the big screen, but one of the more interesting characters will be the half-man, half-android Cyborg.
Ray Fisher, the actor who will play Cyborg in "Justice League," sat down in an interview and described his character in his own words. According to Comic Book, Fisher was present at the Rhode Island Comic Con along with "Justice League" co-star Gal Gadot.
Fisher explained that he grew up watching the DC animated cartoons. He goes on to explain that when he was in middle school, he was introduced to the then brand new animated series "Teen Titans" where he first saw the "Justice League" character of Cyborg.
However, Fisher explained to the fans that the Cyborg he is playing will not be an absolute copy from the animated series and will have some differences from the character in the comics. As reported by Comic Book News, Fisher was given a boatload of comics and source material in order for him to learn as much as he could about his "Justice League" character. Fisher explained that he could not help but "fall in love with the comic book version of him, which can be very different than his particular interpretation."
Fisher gave confidence in him, explaining he knows Cyborg like the "back of his hand." He had some very high praises for Cyborg when he explained what the popular "Justice League" fan term Borg Life meant. Fisher explains, "I think [Cyborg] represents, basically the t-shirt I'm wearing now, Borg Life, which is the ability to take the negative situations in your life and turn them into something positive to help other people."
