The cast of Warner’s Batman/Superman movie continues to grow with the news that Broadway actor Ray Fisher has landed the role of Cyborg in the movie, according to Variety.
It’s being suggested that the character doesn’t have a major role in the new movie, but that Warner will introduce him in the Batman.Superman movie, and Cyborg will play a much bigger part in other movies the studio is developing, leading up to Justice League.

Cyborg is Victor Stone, a half-man half-robot whose body was destroyed during an accident at S.T.A.R. Labs. He was saved through the use of experimental technology, with his body parts being replaced with a number of high-tech gadgets and weapons.
Ray Fisher was also up for a Jedi apprentice role in Star Wars: Episode VII, and is best known for portraying Muhammad Ali in the Broadway play, Fetch Clay, Make Man. Batman Vs. Superman is currently filming in Michigan.
