A few days ago we brought you some comments from Justice League actor Joe Morton, who plays Dr. Silas Stone, where he discussed how the character of Cyborg is being “adjusted” during the current reshoots on the DC blockbuster. And now Morton has been talking to Comic Book Movie about the relationship between Silas and his son, and whether Victor resents his father for transforming him into Cyborg (as seen briefly in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice).
“Yeah, some of that still exists in the film where Victor sort of feels like, ’yes you saved my life, but look what you made me look like,” said Morton. “I can’t go out and be a regular person.’ He has no alias, nothing to hide behind. So what I think is great about that idea is you begin, in a metaphoric way, sort of talking about what it means to be “the other” in society. Even if you have something tremendous to contribute to society, the first thing that most social situations will do is ostracize you because you look different because they don’t know who or what you are. So I think that’s a big deal in this film for that character, and for Silas, and makes for interesting film making.”
Meanwhile, although the Cyborg solo movie was absent from Warner’s DC slate at Comic-Con, Morton revealed that he believes the film is still happening, and “should start sometime around 2020.”
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
