'Justice League' Spoilers: Victor Stone To Be Under a Life-Threatening Situation Because of Car Accident
As "Justice League" inches closer to its release date, more details about the highly anticipated movie leak, and the latest spoiler reports claim that Victor Stone/Cyborg's (Ray Fisher) backstory has been altered in the upcoming movie.
While avid DC fans know that Victor Stone becomes Cyborg after his father Silas Stone attempts to save his life by fusing mechanical parts to his body following a laboratory explosion, spoiler reports claim that "Justice League" has changed this part to a certain extent. Reportedly, while the movie will still maintain the overall idea that Cyborg came into being after an accident, it will be a car accident that will put his life in a life-threatening situation, not a laboratory explosion.
The information on Cyborg's altered backstory was revealed when "Justice League" recently held a promotional event in the Philippines, where one of the fans was able to capture some promotional materials for the upcoming movie and posted them online. As the said promotional images bear short descriptions of the major characters, including Cyborg, it has now become public knowledge that the character's backstory has been somehow altered.

However, it is not only Cyborg's backstory that has been altered in the movie. In an earlier interview with Joe Morton, who plays the role of Silas Stone (Victor's father), he revealed that the reshoots done by Joss Whedon to the movie were also aimed at changing the tone of the character to make it less serious.
"I know that with Ray (Fisher), the young man who plays Victor, there were some adjustments that they made in terms of the tone of that character. I think what I heard was that there was a need from the studio to lighten up the film in a way, that the film felt too dark. I don't know what that meant in terms of how it actually got translated in terms of the reshoots but that's what I heard. That's what I thought some of the reshoots were about," Morton told IGN in August.
"Justice League" hits the theaters this Nov. 17. Apart from Fisher, the movie also features Ben Affleck (Batman), Henry Cavill (Superman), Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Jason Momoa (Aquaman), and Ezra Miller (The Flash).
