As the director's cut of Zack Snyder's Justice League draws nearer, questions pertaining to just how different Snyder's vision of the film will be run rampant. Snyder recently addressed the problem of having to shoot a Flash scene with Ezra Miller while the actor was on set in London for the third installment of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Snyder was a guest on Grace Randolph's Beyond the Trailer YouTube series and explained how the crew of Fantastic Beasts, using Zoom, arranged their set so that he could pick up a small shot of the Flash actor. The director assisted in the setup of the scene as much as possible, sending "them these drawings, [and] I was like, 'Okay, this is what he has to do.'"
The director said that he had monitors to see the cameras, set and where his own face was, as he put it, "on a stand... with an iPad." And while the director joked about the ways he could have virtually directed Miller, describing, "Is there any way that [tablet] could be on like a remote control car so I could drive it around a bit?"
Snyder stepped down from the original production of Justice League due to a family tragedy and was replaced with Joss Whedon, whose reshoots, and alleged behind-the-scenes behavior, has made the theatrical release of the film somewhat notorious.
In Justice League, fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
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 2021.
