Zack Snyder never really believed that his cut of âJustice Leagueâ would see the light of day. It has technically existed since January 2017, but it wasnât in any shape to be released. It was four hours, in black and white, had storyboards where visual effects were supposed to go and an unfinished score.
âWhen I finished it, I said, oh well, no one will ever see this movie,â he said.
Although heâs officially credited as the director of the DC superhero mashup with Gal Gadotâs Wonder Woman, Ben Affleckâs Batman and Jason Momoaâs Aquaman that hit theaters in the summer of 2017, he and Deborah Snyder â his wife and producing partner â had stepped away from the film months earlier. Relations had strained with the studio, and the pressure was getting to be too much, especially after the suicide of their 20-year-old daughter Autumn. So the Snyders walked away, and Joss Whedon was hired to revamp and finish âJustice League.â
