Zack Snyder Teases His ‘Justice League’ Cut Ahead Of DC Fandome’s Trailer Reveal

There’s so much happening at DC FanDome this weekend that it would be easy to miss something. But nobody, and I mean nobody, who is interested in the fan event will pass on Zack Snyder’s panel where the first look at his cut of Justice League will finally arrive. But before that happens, Snyder has dropped a teaser for what fans can look forward to.

So what’s the big deal with Zack Snyder’s Justice League, anyway? Chances are if you’re reading this you already know. After principal photography, he was forced to exit due to a family tragedy. Joss Whedon was brought in to replace him and did extensive reshoots. While Snyder was given directorial credit, the movie belongs neither to him or Whedon. After years of fan petitions, Warner Bros. rehired Snyder to make the movie he always wanted to make, and he’s doing it without a single bit of footage from Whedon’s cut.

Because the big reveal is so close, you won’t find anything major happening in this brief footage. However, you’ll notice a never-before-seen shot of Superman examining the monument erected in his memory. We should also take note that Snyder is reusing his unfinished footage, which means a lot of VFX enhancement is going on here, too.

Zack Snyder’s Justice League hits HBO Max next year. Snyder’s DC FanDome panel takes place Saturday, August 22nd at 5:30pm ET.
