Warner Regrets Zack Snyder’s Justice League ‘Snyder Cut’

Warner Bros Discovery It is undergoing a restructuring in which several of its projects and structures are yet to be defined. The most immediate example may be the cancellation of several films, including batgirlor the uncertainty with Ezra Miller and the next movie about Flash. Added to this is another open debate, also linked to that last film: the version of The Justice League of Zack Snyder -better known as the Snyder Cut— released during 2021 and a fundamental piece of what is known as the SnyderVerse.

Zack Snyder’s perspective has marked much of the entire DC Extended Universe. Either because he has been the director of several of the productions or because he has been linked to the work team of others. For his part, the filmmaker took the right to publish his own version of The Justice League during 2021, your Snyder Cut, after the first, released in 2017, after abandoning production due to personal issues. The studio eventually hired Joss Whedon (Buffy, avengers) to finish it. Although this may seem like a minor detail, one more commercial and recognition strategy, it is not that simple.

It is estimated that a significant base of fans of the DC Extended Universe have celebrated this latest installment, associating his achievements with the director, favoring his image and affecting that of Warner Bros. Discovery. This has put the company at a crossroads of sorts. As he tries to redefine his narrative without Zack Snyder, not a few fans wish this didn’t happen. So things, what are the scenarios?

The Justice League:
a crossroads for Warner Bros. Discovery

the premiere of The Justice League (2017) was produced after the presentation of titles such as man of steel (2013), Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and Wonder Woman (2017). Each of these films served to lay the foundations for some characters that would make up that group of superheroes. While the Marvel Cinematic Universe continued to advance progressively, the DC Extended Universe seemed to want to run before walking.

The result? That first installment The Justice League it was not satisfactory. Some time later, the projects linked to her and the figure of Zack Snyder would enter a field of shadows. The mega story had to be revised. In the meantime, the filmmaker released his own version of that title, the Snyder Cut, lasting more than four hours. This film generated the opposite of Joss Whedon’s proposal.

The good receptivity, despite its extension in a consumer market increasingly attached to immediacy, put the focus on Warner Bros. Discovery. A question arose: what to do with the SnyderVerse? The story seemed exhausted, confused, but the filmmaker had reactivated a part of the fan base of the DC Extended Universe. Later, the facts are as follows:

• The company welcomed the delivery of 2017, considering that it was a well-closed story.
• But, about the four-hour edition, Warner Bros. Discovery has doubts and regrets.

Thus it was possible to know through Varietymedium that reports on the regret of the company in relation to the fact that Zack Snyder’s Justice League —as the 2021 proposal was titled— is still available and can be seen through its own platform of streamingHBO Max.

Considering that Warner Bros. Discovery intends to take a different path than the one developed through the SnyderVerse, having the filmmaker’s main proposal on your platform is something like having an enemy at home. Not only for accessibility in relation to history, available to subscribers of hbo max; but also by the interpretations that can be made about it.

If he film is presented as part of the superhero narrative managed by the company, it is logical that the fan understands that this story will continue to expand or will be relevant in later productions. Warner Bros. Discovery does not propose to completely get rid of this narrative base. So far, the Batman of Ben Affleck and Wonder Woman from Gal Gadot they will still be present. However, it may be that the company’s wishes in terms of strategy are pointing to progressively distance itself from the SnyderVerse.

Flashan opportunity missed?

It remains to be seen if the next film of Flashscheduled for 2023, may or may not be an opportunity for the DC Extended Universe mutate into something different, perhaps a kind of reboot. This film is in a kind of limbo due to the personal problems of its protagonist, Ezra Miller. Seen what was seen in the first trailer, the production could explore time travel and incorporate other versions of other superheroes.

From there, Warner Bros Discovery he would have the option of redirecting his narrative. However, the future of that production is still unclear. It was recently leaked that the company is evaluating the following scenarios:

• Provide professional help to the actor and move forward with the project, giving limited access to the press.
• If the help is not accepted or does not work, release the film without much publicity.
• Make a new casting for the character. If the situation doesn’t improve, cancel the movie.

Recently, it was informed of a meeting between Ezra Miller and company executives to study the future of the project. It is not yet clear what it will be. In the meantime, the SnyderVerse will continue to be the clearest roadmap for fans of the DC Extended Universe.
