After seeing a new Instagram update from Ray Fisher, some fans are wondering who needs a suicide squad when you’re in a league of your own. The actor recently posted a photo of himself showing off a sweet Justice League hat.

The cropped photo features the black snapback front and center. Fans can see a large white logo embroidered on the front that references the Justice League. Tipping the hat, most of Ray’s face is hidden by his headgear as he sits in what’s surely a swanky ride. The actor put up his photo with a short message that reads, “We’re in a League of our own. #BORGLIFE #JusticeLeague.”
Ray and his fellow Justice League cast members have been filming in London for the DC Comics adaptation. Principal photography started in April and the studio teased fans with news on the film this summer at San Diego Comic Con where the superhero team assembled. And, if that wasn’t enough, ComicBook.com was even invited to tour the Justice League set earlier this year to get a behind-the-scenes look at the project.
Sent to the set, Brandon Davis scored plenty of updates about Cyborg, the fan-favorite character who Ray will be playing in the DC Extended Universe.
For one, we learned that Cyborg will be primarily depicted through CGI considering the character’s hi-tech upgrades. Costume designer Michael Wilkinson revealed the designs for Cyborg which feature a lot of chrome and post-production tweaking. He admitted “practical [effects]” would mostly be saved for the actor’s face as most of the CGI magic will focus on the Cyborg’s body.
Wilkinson also said fans will “see him a lot also as a civilian.” He went on to say that, “You can see the here at the top is how he disguises himself in the world. We’ll see some sweatsuit action.”
Ray spoke about his role earlier this summer and discussed how he landed the coveted role. The actor, who had been playing Muhammad Ali in on-stage in New York, said he went out to California to meet with Warner Bros. executives. And, when he learned the studio might have a role for him, Ray recalled his reaction was an overly enthusiastic one.
“I was like, “All right, I’m done. Sign me up. I said, ‘I’ll play a tree,’” he said. ” I’m extremely grateful that it happened the way that it did, coming up in the theater, grinding for 10 years, trying to make the ends meet. It was a pretty sweet payoff.”
Justice League will be directed by Zack Snyder. It stars Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, and Ezra Miller as The Flash. Spider-Man villain Willem Dafoe has joined the cast as Atlantean soldier Vulco while Amber Heard will appear as Mera. Actor J.K. Simmons has joined as Gotham City Police Commissioner James Gordon, and Amy Adams is expected to reprise her role as Lois Lane.
Justice League is set to hit theaters on November 17, 2017
