"The Flash" film director Rick Fumuyawa addressed rumors about Cyborg's (Ray Fisher) alleged appearance on the upcoming film. Fumuyiwa did not outright confirm nor denied the rumor that Cyborg will appear opposite the Scarlet Speedster.

DCEU producer Deborah Snyder hinted that there is camaraderie between "The Flash" star Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher, making it sound that Cyborg will have a pretty substantial role in the film, Forbes reported.

"As you can imagine, when we get to the Flash movie, Ezra Miller and Ray Fisher - who plays Cyborg - are kind of our youngest characters, and they have a really nice camaraderie with each other. Ezra is super funny, so the tone of that film will be very different than the rest of them," she said.

Cyborg will be a future Justice League member in the DC extended universe. The character was first introduced in "Batman V Superman." The character will reportedly be slated for a standalone film "Cyborg" in 2020, Variety reported.

In the comic books, Cyborg is a half-man and half-machine hero named Victor Stone. He was transformed through a science experiment that gave him enhanced abilities thanks to his metallic prosthetic limbs.

"The Flash" crew is currently in London to shoot the film. The film is unlikely to be an origin story given the fact that it had already been established within the DCEU that "The Flash" alter-ego Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) have superpowers, thanks to "The Flash" series that airs on television.

"The Flash" solo film with Miller is slated to premiere on March 16, 2018 after "Justice League Part One" opens on Nov. 17, 2017. To know more about "The Flash" film and Cyborg, watch the video below:
