Jason Momoa has just expressed his solidarity with Justice League co-star Ray Fisher, who over the summer made allegations of “gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable” mistreatment while filming with Joss Whedon on that movie. In a tweet back in July, Fisher said Whedon was “enabled, in many ways, by [producers] Geoff Johns and Jon Berg.”
Momoa posted an Instagram story on Tuesday with a photo of Fisher bearing the caption “IStandWithRayFisher.” Whedon has not yet publicly commented on the accusations, nor has Fisher elaborated on what conduct comprised the above patterns of behavior, but Berg told Variety that it was “categorically untrue that we enabled any unprofessional behavior.”
Over the weekend, Fisher tweeted about his meeting with a Warner Bros. investigator, and how he wants to “ensure a fair and protected process for all witnesses.”
Thank you all for the support and for seeing through @wbpictures desperate and scattershot attempt to discredit me to continue protecting those in power.
I met with the investigator via Zoom on Aug 26th. Below is an email I sent to my team and @sagaftra immediately after:

This is not the only recent reason that Justice League has been making headlines again: Momoa (Aquaman) and Fisher (Cyborg) are among those returning for Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League–a director’s cut of the comics adaptation that Whedon wound up stepping in and completing when personal issues on Snyder’s part prevented his involvement in completing the production. The four-part series is expected to hit HBO Max in 2021.
