Whedon reworked Justice League (2017) after director Zack Snyder was forced to step down, and fans have used the former’s disgrace to argue for a return to the original’s vision for a darker, Darkseid-ridden DC Universe film arc.
Actor Charisma Carpenter, who appeared in Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the late 1990s, said that Whedon abused and fired her when she became pregnant.
