In 2020, Warner Bros. is said to release a solo Cyborg film, where Fisher will reprise his role as Victor Stone/Cyborg. Fisher’s performance as Cyborg marks the actor’s big screen debut. His past performances include a brief appearance in the period television drama, The Astronaut Wives Club, and various theater productions across the United States, including his portrayal of Muhammad Ali in the New York Theatre Workshop's Off-Broadway production of Fetch Clay, Make Man.

APCC Manila also released the second batch of globally-recognized artists who will showcase their works and share their talents to their fans. These include Whilce Portacio, Carl Potts, Shoji Kawamori, and Serena Kozuki.
Returning to APCC Manila is Filipino-American comic book artist and writer Whilce Portacio, who has done notable works, including the titles Uncanny X-men, X-Factor, The Punisher, Heroes Reborn: Iron Man, Wetworks, and Spawn, among others. The talented inker and penciller was also a co-founder of the Image Comics and he has currently returned working independently for Image, DC and Marvel.
For his part, Carl Potts, who has worked as an Executive Editor in Marvel Comics for 13 years, is well- known for being the mentor of some of the top comic artists including Jim Lee, Whilce Portacio, Scott Williams, Art Adams, Lary Stroman, Jon Bogdanove, and Terry Shoemaker. He created Alien Legion and the graphic novel Last of the Dragons. His book, The DC Comics Guide to Creating Comics: Inside the Art of Visual Storytelling was also published by DC/Watson-Guptill. He is currently working on a graphic novel project called, The Flying Column.
Under the title of “Vision Creator,” Shoji Kawamori acts as a creator of original works, an animation director, a scriptwriter, a mecha designer and many other roles. Being one of the original creators of the animated TV hit Macross–which became part of a series known as Robotech outside Japan—he played a major part in developing one of the important factors that popularized the Japanese anime phenomenon worldwide.
He was also one of the designers of the Diaclone line of toys, which later became known as the Transformers, including now ubiquitous “Optimus Prime.” His designs can be found in a wide range of media, from animation, and video games to live-action movies and commercial products.
