Actor
Ray Fisher has alleged that director
Joss Whedon's behavior was "abusive" on the set of the 2017 film '
Justice League
'.
"Joss Wheadon's on-set treatment of the cast and crew of Justice League was gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable," Fisher, who played the young superhero
Cyborg in the DC Comics film, tweeted Wednesday.
Fisher added that Whedon was "enabled, in many ways, by Geoff Johns and Jon Berg," two producers on the film who were executives running DC Films for Warner Bros. Pictures at the time.
Whedon has not responded to Fisher on social media.
Berg told Variety that it was "categorically untrue that we enabled any unprofessional behavior."
Whedon, known for his writing and directing on Marvel's '
Avengers
' films and television's 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', was brought in during post-production to replace director
Zack Snyder on 'Justice League'. He oversaw extensive reshoots, editing and visual effects on the film.
At the time of his departure, Warner Bros. said Snyder was stepping away to be with his family following the death of his 20-year-old daughter.
Fisher showed a sign of his displeasure with Whedon earlier this week when he tweeted a video of himself praising the director as a "great guy" during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con in 2017, with the comment, "I'd like to take a moment to forcefully retract every bit of this statement."
