Justice League: An Extended Cut Is Likely On the Way

A new listing teases an extended cut of Justice League, though it's probably not a full-fledged Zack Snyder version.

A new listing on Amazon Germany indicates that home media release of Justice League will feature an extended cut.

The listing puts the film's runtime at 135 minutes. Assuming that the listing is accurate, an extended cut featuring 15 minutes of additional footage is on its way.

It's currently unknown what scenes might make their way back into the movie. A Warner Bros. mandate that Justice League have a 2-hour runtime resulted in many scenes being cut, including cameos featuring Iris West (Kiersey Clemons) and Vulko (Willem Dafoe), as well as a flashback sequence involving Cyborg (Ray Fisher).

Avengers director Joss Whedon took over the film following the departure of Zack Snyder and began "significant" reshoots. Since the film's release, a group of vocal fans has started lobbying Warner Bros. for the release of a Snyder cut. However, there are rumors that put Snyder's cut at close to three hours, so it's unlikely that this is that cut, though it's always possible that some of his original footage may make its way back into the film.

Justice League's run at the box-office was fairly disappointing, with the movie being met with mixed critical reviews upon release. Projections put the film's total box office gross around $675 million, which is just slightly higher than Man of Steel's $668 million.

Justice League is expected for digital release on January 30. The film 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.
