The DC cinematic universe at this point is its own Gordian Knot of rumors and threads of rumors that are rarely legit and usually peter out and go nowhere. On the other hand, Rick Famuyiwa just confirmed one of these rumors on his Twitter, where he posted a photo yesterday of the latest draft of The Flash script. In the photo, you can see the feet of two Funko Pop figures: the Flash, naturally, as well as those of Cyborg.
In August, a rumor began circulating that Cyborg is slated to make an appearance in DC Films’ upcoming Flash movie. Director Rick Famuyiwa, known for the critically acclaimed “Dope,” quickly slowed the hype train with a tweet in response to Variety’s initial report confirming the fellow Justice Leaguer’s role in the movie.

While the tweet doesn’t exactly deny the rumor, it did cast a cloud a cloud of doubt over it. Now, it seems Famuyiwa was indeed simply putting up a smoke screen, or a decision was made after the fact to include Cyborg, as the director has now shared this image on his personal Twitter account.

It wasn’t very long before fans started calling out Flash’s Funko pop guest at the top of the image.

Variety previously reported, via unrevealed sources, that Ray Fisher’s Cyborg would be adding a “Flash” appearance to his “Justice League” role. It wasn’t known the extent of his appearance in the film, though the decision was reportedly made to garner excitement for the character and his future solo feature. The new tweet from Famuyiwa seems quite deliberate, including the fact that the characters are on top of “current revisions.”

“The Flash” sprints into theaters March 16, 2018. “Cyborg” is currently slated for April 3, 2020.
The post Flash Director Rick Famuyiwa Teases Cyborg Cameo appeared first on CBR.com.
There has been a lot of speculation about Cyborg being in The Flash, although confirmation has never officially come. It makes sense though, especially as Cyborg is a probably a pretty obscure character to those uninitated. More exposure can’t hurt.
It seems we have our most official ackowledgement of the character being in the film though… by way of Funkos. This was tweeted out by The Flash director Rick Famuyiwa, he seems to hinting that the script for the film is now done. On top of the script you can clearly see a Flash funko pop, and behind that one, there are some silver feet. You can’t be 100% sure, but it absolutely looks like this figure of Cyborg.

This all seems to make sense, and it is exciting that the film is now getting ready to jump into production. Full speed ahead.
