Joe Russo’s thought on Zack Snyder’s Justice League

In a recent interview with an entertainment portal, Joe and Anthony Russo were asked how they feel about the release of Zack Snyder’s version of Justice League. Joe Russo expressed his feelings saying that he thinks it is always great when a director’s original vision can find its way to the screen. The Snyder Cut is not releasing in theatres but heading to a digital platform. 

Joe and Anthony Russo helmed Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Avengers: Endgame (2019) in the MCU. Joe Russo talked about their experience with Marvel Studios. He said that they have been very fortunate in their careers that everything they did for Marvel; they would call it the director's cuts.

He mentioned that the studio was “very gracious and deferential,” and very supportive of their vision for the movies they have done. Russo stated that there is nothing sitting on the editing room floor that they suddenly want back into those films. He added that they worked very hard at what the current cut of those movies is. He noted that they are very fortunate to have released their director's cut on all four films they have done in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
