During production on 2017's Justice League, original director Zack Snyder stepped away from the project following a family tragedy. In his place, Avengers director Joss Whedon took the reins of the project and reportedly began significantly reshooting parts of the film. As a result, many of those dissatisfied with the theatrical release of Justice League -- which was received poorly both at the box office and by critics -- called for the release of a version of the film closer to Snyder's original vision. That project is now set to come to HBO Max next year.
In this video, we're going to break down some of the differences between the theatrical and Snyder Cut releases of Justice League. While we don't know everything about Snyder's version of the film, he's given a lot of indication about just what viewers should expect when the retooled movie hits HBO Max next year.
Check out the video below for more differences between the Snyder Cut and the theatrical version of Justice League.
Currently, the future of the DCEU looks brighter than ever, with projects such as The Batman, The Flash and Black Adam looking likely to finally release in the coming years. As for the future of Justice League and Snyder, there's no indication at this time Warner Bros. has plans to loop him back into the DCEU. It's also not clear if the Justice League will unite again in the foreseeable future.
