Zack Snyder’s Justice League Teaser Debuts During DC FanDome, Coming To HBO Max In 2021

DC FanDome is all about the fans, so it makes sense that the second half of the Hall of Heroes would be kicked off by something that wouldn’t exist if not for fans—the Snyder Cut of Justice League.

Less a panel than a presentation and discussion hosted by director Zack Snyder, the segment began with a Q&A featuring guest appearances by Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Ray Fisher, Ezra Miller, Gal Gadot and Patty Jenkins. During it, Snyder revealed his favorite superhero after Batman—Doctor Manhattan—and explained how he was most excited to flesh out Cyborg’s role in the story, who he described as “the heart of the movie.” He also promised we’ll be seeing a lot more of the Flash, including something with the character that we’ve never seen before.

Later, Snyder interviewed two fans who were heavily involved with the “Release the Snyder Cut” movement before revealing some details about the project itself.

Debuting on HBO Max in 2021, Snyder’s recut Justice League will be divided into four parts, each one hour long. After all four parts have debuted, they’ll be edited together into a single film, in case anyone prefers to watch it that way. Finally, he mentioned that they’re at work on an international distribution plan so that countries where HBO Max is currently unavailable will still be able to see the film.

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.

The “Justice League” screenplay is by Chris Terrio, story by Chris Terrio & Zack Snyder, based on characters from DC, Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The film’s producers are Charles Roven, Deborah Snyder, with executive producers Christopher Nolan, Emma Thomas, Jim Rowe, Ben Affleck, Wesley Coller, Curtis Kanemoto and Chris Terrio.
