When Snyder left, he didn’t expect there to ever be a possibility of DC fans getting to seehis version ofJustice Leagueeither. Before the movie was confirmed, Snyder believed that many years down the line, he would provide the original footage that he had shot to anyone potentially making a documentary on the story behindJustice League. While the possibility of a sequel seems to have come to an end, after years of campaigning, the Snyder Cuthas in fact come to fruition.
Four years after Snyder had to walk away from the project, Warner Bros. gave the green light on his version of the film. Fans who were adamant to see the Snyder Cut spent yearsasking the producers to #ReleaseTheSnyderCut. And that’s not all. In December, when studio executives referred to the upcoming four-hour film as a franchise dead end, another fan campaign started to trend, urging Warner Bros. to #RestoreTheSnyderVerse and introduce Snyder’s version ofJustice Leagueas a part of the DCEU canon.Justice Leaguestars Ray Fisher and Ray Porter also joined in, offering their support on Twitter.
While the campaigning continues, it remains to be seen if it’ll have an impact on the media conglomerate’s decision to end Snyder’s version of the story with the release ofJustice League. Even though he is aware that this might be it, Snyder has stated in past interviews that he is just glad that he got to complete the film the way he initially planned to - something he thought he would never get a chance to do.
Zack Snyder’s Justice Leaguewill be available on HBO Max starting August 01, 2025.
