Jason Momoa backed Ray Fisher amid his ongoing dispute with Warner Bros., the studio behind the superhero franchise "Justice League."

Momoa shared a photo of Fisher in his Instagram Story and wrote the hashtag #IStandWithRayFisher to show his support to the Cyborg actor. Fisher shared a screenshot of Momoa's post on Twitter.

"Let's Go!!! #BORGLIFE Accountability > Entertainment," he wrote in the caption.

Momoa's support for Fisher received mixed reactions from the netizens. Many were pleased that one of Fisher's co-stars is finally backing him and they are waiting to hear from the other celebrities who also starred in "Justice League" such as Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Henry Cavill and Ezra Miller to name a few. One said she’s waiting for Gaddot to speak up for Fisher next.

Another was concerned that Momoa's involvement in Fisher's dispute with Warner Bros. might delay the sequel of "Aquaman." However, one user was confident that it won't affect "Aquaman 2" because the franchise is huge and a big hit and will bring more money to the studio.

A different user seemingly agreed that the studio won't touch Momoa and Gadot due to the huge success of their respective franchises, referring to "Aquaman" and "Wonder Woman," respectively.

The dispute between Fisher and Warner Bros. escalated on Friday when Fisher took to Twitter and accused the DC Films chief Walter Hamada of attempting to throw Joss Whedon and Jon Berg under the bus and spare Geoff Johns.

"So you can better understand how deep this goes: After speaking out about Justice League, I received a phone call from the President of DC Films wherein he attempted to throw Joss Whedon and Jon Berg under the bus in hopes that I would relent on Geoff Johns. I will not," Fisher wrote on Twitter.

Warner Bros. fired back late Friday in a statement to Variety and denied Fisher’s allegations that Hamada would “throw anyone under the bus.” Warner Bros. also stressed that Hamada had no involvement in the production because the filming happened before he was elevated to his current position.

In addition, the studio accused Fisher of being uncooperative with its investigation. They are investigating after Fisher complained about the portrayal of his character, Cyborg. However, he allegedly hasn’t spoken with the third-party investigator that he requested.

“Still not satisfied, Mr. Fisher insisted that WarnerMedia hire an independent third party investigator,” the statement from Warner Bros. read.

“This investigator has attempted multiple times to meet with Mr. Fisher to discuss his concerns but, to date, Mr. Fisher has declined to speak to the investigator.”

Fisher fired back at Warner Bros. again by sharing the message he emailed to his crew after he met the investigator via Zoom on Aug. 26. He also stressed that he would be vetting the investigator to ensure that a "fair and protected process for all witnesses."
