Hours after Ray Fisher straight tweeted James Gunn relating to previous tweets the latter made seemingly in help of controversial filmmaker Joss Whedon, the newly minted DC Studios govt responded to the actor. Whereas Fisher referred to as out Gunn’s now-deleted tweets that backed the stance of Alan Tudyk, who was supporting Whedon, Gunn revealed he has his account set as much as mechanically delete tweets “each few months.”
“ALL my tweets mechanically delete each few months, Ray, it has nothing to do with my tweets to you,” Gunn stated Monday night.
ALL my tweets mechanically delete each few months, Ray, it has nothing to do with my tweets to you.

Earlier within the day, Fisher shared screenshots of the aforementioned tweets, suggesting Gunn received his job as a result of he refused “to apologize for poisonous conduct.”
“The best way [James Gunn] makes use of faux grace on Twitter is actually humorous,” Fisher tweeted Monday afternoon. “Him going to bat for Joss Whedon, pseudo-apologizing for it, after which deleting it instantly earlier than taking his new DC job is just not. Refusing to apologize for poisonous conduct appears to be a job requirement for WB/DC.”
Given Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, and Gal Gadot are all seemingly executed with their respective Justice League roles, it will appear as if the likes of Fisher, Ezra Miller, and Jason Momoa can even be executed as Cyborg, The Flash, and Aquaman, although that a lot has but to be confirmed.
“One of many issues Peter & I have been conscious of once we took the job as heads of DC Studios was a sure minority of individuals on-line that may very well be, nicely, uproarious & unkind, to say the least,” Gunn wrote to Instagram. “Our decisions for the DCU are primarily based upon what we consider is greatest for the story & greatest for the DC characters who’ve been round for practically 85 years. Maybe these decisions are nice, maybe not, however they’re made with honest hearts & integrity & all the time with the story in thoughts. Nobody likes to be harassed or referred to as names – however, to be frank, we have been by means of considerably worse. Disrespectful outcry won’t ever, ever have an effect on our actions. We have been conscious there could be a interval of turbulence once we took this gig, & we knew we’d typically must make troublesome & not-so-obvious decisions, particularly within the wake of the fractious nature of what got here earlier than us. However this implies little to us compared to our jobs as artists & custodians in serving to to create a large & great future for DC.”
