And for one fan, meeting Justice League star and convention headliner Ray Fisher was so exciting that it brought her to tears.
Fisher, who plays Victor Stone/Cyborg in the upcoming film, shared a clip of the fan encounter on his Instagram. In it, Fisher walks towards a young woman, Cyborg-style then pauses when he notices she’s burst into tears. Fisher then opens his arms and offers the overcome fan a hug.
The clip is just one of many happy fan encounters Fisher shared in a gallery on Instagram. The gallery featured photos of Fisher posing with fans, signing autographs for a child and even guiding another overwhelmed and excited fan to take deep breaths while meeting him. You can view Fisher’s post above.
“The love in Manila is strong! Thanks to everyone for coming out to @asiapopcomicon today!!! Can’t wait for tomorrow,” Fisher wrote.
Fisher debuted as Cyborg during a brief appearance in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and has embraced the role as part of his public persona. As can be seen in the Instagram gallery, Fisher is even wearing one of his “Borg Life” shirts.
While Fisher’s Cyborg will provide an outsider’s view in the Justice League film according to Ray Morton, the actor playing Cyborg’s father, the character will be front and center of the Cyborg movie expected in 2020.
Fans in the Philippines will get to see Fisher in action as Cyborg when Justice League opens there on November 16, just ahead of the North American release on November 17.

In Justice League, fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s (Henry Cavill) selfless act, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) enlists newfound ally Diana Prince to face an even greater threat. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to recruit a team to stand against this newly awakened enemy. Despite the formation of an unprecedented league of heroes — Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash — it may be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
