Superman actor Henry Cavill has divulged his thoughts on the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League.
In an interview with Variety, Cavill expressed that the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League did not surprise him, stating, "With everything that has happened this year, with the lockdown and cinemas having to close and streaming services now being how we are getting our entertainment, it's not really a surprise." He then noted, "It's one of those things where it's an opportunity, and I think it's great that Zack [Snyder] has an opportunity to finally release his vision of ['Justice League']," adding, "that's really important for a storyteller and a filmmaker." The actor further explained, "When that doesn't happen, it's always a sad occasion. And now Zack has the opportunity, and I'm excited to watch it."
The announcement of Zack Snyder's Justice League debuting on HBO Max ended the two-and-a-half-year #ReleasetheSnyderCut movement that pushed for its release. It began when the film first premiered in theaters following reports that Snyder's version of the movie had been heavily altered by Warner Bros. and new director Joss Whedon after Snyder was forced to leave the project due to a family tragedy.
Justice League stars Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Ciarán Hinds as Steppenwolf, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon. Zack Snyder's Justice League will premiere exclusively on HBO Max in early to mid-2021.
