Zack Snyder has already begun work on his cut of Justice League. The filmmaker mentioned in an interview that it will be an "entirely new thing” and would provide “a new experience” apart from the theatrical version. It is unclear whether Snyder’s cut would release as a film or in parts. But according to reports, it is more likely to be out with six chapters from the initially four-hour-long film. However, an official confirmation is yet to be made.

The Snyder Cut will premiere on the newly launched HBO Max. The streaming platform head revealed that the cut "does not exist" as of yet and would cross the estimated budget of $30 million to see the light of the day.

Justice League stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, Ray Fisher, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Connie Nielsen, and JK Simmons. The film was criticised for the plot, writing, score, pacing, villain and computer-generated imagery. It mostly garnered negative reviews and failed to match expectations at the box office.

News started making the rounds that Zack Snyder's cut did not make it to the theatres as the filmmaker left the project halfway following a family tragedy. Joss Whedon was then called in to direct Justice League and reportedly changed Snyder’s work. Fans started a campaign #ReleasetheSynderCut on social media showing their disappointment and demanding Zack’s version. After a three-year-long campaign, The Snyder Cut was announced.
