As the first month of 2021 comes to a close, Warner Bros. and HBO Max are inching closer to a release that’s been building up anticipation for most of the last two years: the Snyder Cut.
After the project was officially given the go-ahead last spring,
Justice League
director Zack Snyder dove into the deep end
with the opportunity to bring his vision of the team-up movie to life. Coupled with the disturbing news in the summer of
Joss Whedon’s reported actions on the movie’s set
after taking over for Snyder, this movie is quickly becoming one of the biggest events of the year.

Snyder has spent the last few months teasing what will be different about his cut than the original in 2017,
especially relating to the starring characters
of
Justice League
. The DCEU mainstay has often lamented how heroes like Batman and Superman were changed so drastically after everything he set up since 2013.
At the center of much of this drama is Ray Fisher’s Cyborg
, who was addressed in Snyder’s latest social media blast.
“BOO-NAH” FOR RAY FISHER’S CYBORG
In the comments section of a recent Vero post,
via Twitter
, a fan asked
Justice League
director Zack Snyder if Ray Fisher’s Cyborg says “Boo-yah” in the Snyder Cut. Not leaving any doubt, Snyder simply responded
“hell no.”

SNYDER DOUBLES UP ON FISHER’S BOO-YAH STANCE
Even though “Boo-yah” is one of Cyborg’s classic catchphrases from the pages of DC Comics, Fisher
shared
his frustrations with using it in
Justice League
. He reportedly didn’t want to be relegated to being “the cool Black dude,” and this footnote was one of many points of contention in his continuing battles with Warner Bros, Joss Whedon, and the movie’s producers.

The line gained popularity from the animated Cyborg that played a key role in Cartoon Network’s
Teen Titans
series, but Fisher and Snyder seem intent on making the live-action take a more mature version of the character. Fisher indicated last summer that
fans shouldn’t expect to hear this phrase when the Snyder Cut arrives
, and it’s unsurprising that Snyder shares those sentiments.
Snyder has often called Ray Fisher’s Cyborg the heart of his movie
, which is likely more meaningful now considering the issues Fisher has with Joss Whedon.
Fisher has also shown unwavering support
for the Snyder Cut through the controversy, and his hero will be someone to whom fans will pay close attention
as the promotional tour continues
.
The Snyder Cut of
Justice League
is set for release on HBO Max on March 18, 2021.
