By Mulder, 22 august 2020

“I want to thank HBO Max and Warner Brothers for this brave gesture of supporting artists and allowing their true visions to be realized. Also a special thank you to all of those involved in the SnyderCut movement for making this a reality,” said Snyder.

During the DC FanDome panel, director Zack Snyder answered questions from fans and some surprise guests while talking about his long-awaited version of the 2017 feature film and the movement that gave birth to it.

Director Zack Snyder has confirmed rumors that his final version of Justice League will be a four one-hour mini-series when it is released on HBO Max in 2021. The exact release date is not yet known, but the director has reassured fans outside the US that a worldwide distribution plan is underway (a direct video or theatrical release seems likely). The new trailer, released yesterday at the DC FanDome event, gave us a first look at what Darkseid looks like. All the main actors were also present and seemed happy to be able to show this new version. We are very much looking forward to seeing this version next year.

“Since I got here 14 months ago, the chant to #ReleaseTheSnyderCut has been a daily drumbeat in our offices and inboxes. Well, the fans have asked, and we are thrilled to finally deliver. At the end of the day, it really is all about them and we are beyond excited to be able to release Zack’s ultimate vision for this film in 2021. This could never have happened if it weren’t for the hard work and combined efforts of the teams at HBO Max and Warner Bros. Pictures,” said Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, Warner Media Entertainment and Direct-To-Consumer.

“When Zack and Debbie shared the extraordinary vision of where Zack wanted to take Justice League, my team and our counterparts at Warner Bros. took it as a mission to solve the many issues that stood in the way,” said Kevin Reilly, Chief Content Officer at HBO Max, President, TNT, TBS and truTV. “Thanks to the partnership at Warner Bros. and the relentless pursuit of the entire WarnerMax team we are able to deliver this incredibly exciting moment for Zack, the fans and HBO Max.”

“Thanks to the efforts of a lot people, we’re excited to bring fans this highly anticipated version of Justice League,” said Toby Emmerich, Chairman, Warner Bros. Pictures Group. “This feels like the right time to share Zack’s story, and HBO Max is the perfect platform for it. We’re glad the creative planets aligned, allowing us to #ReleaseTheSnyderCut.”
