This doesn't pertain to the future of the DCEU, but it's certainly a juice piece of gossip. Recently, Justice League star Ray Fisher (Cyborg) described director Joss Whedon's time on set filming the movie's reshoots as, "gross, abusive, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable."

That got everyone talking, and filmmaker Kevin Smith later weighed in, explaining that he spoke to some VFX artists while visiting the set of Solo: A Star Wars Story who had worked on both cuts of Justice League. He claims that he was told Whedon frequently, and very publicly, trashed Zack Snyder's work.

Smith went on to note that The Avengers helmer would, "cut, down, dismiss and be negative about Zack’s version of the movie that he had seen and all of the special effects team [these people] had made together." This is said to have led to a lot of discomfort on the set with the cast and crew, and could explain what Fisher was referring to. Thus far, Whedon has failed to respond.

It definitely doesn't paint him in the best of lights, though, and could explain why he's been M.I.A.
