On Wednesday morning/afternoon/evening, depending on your own timezone, Zack Snyder hosted a watchalong party for fans for Man Of Steel. Joining him at this party was his wife Deborah and unexpected guest, Henry Cavill and by the time, the movie had finished, the announcement that had been hinted at for a while was announced.
HBO Max will premiere Zack Snyder's Justice League on their service but it will be in 2021. Snyder will also get somewhere between 15 to 30 million to finish up editing, VFX and shoot additional scenes /dialogue. However the rumours also seem to be that this will either be a four hour movie or a potential six part miniseries. Personally I think the latter might be the better option here but either way after years of splintering fandom division, we'll finally get to see if Snyder's intended version will be better than the theatrical version Joss Whedon helmed and that was released to a largely mixed reception back in 2017.
Releasing this cut is definitely an interesting move on HBO Max's part. Could this impact the DCEU going forward if the cut is both a critical and commercial success? I'm not sure to be honest but it certainly will give weight to Henry Cavill getting to continue on as Superman and I do get the feeling that in spite of the upcoming CW series, Superman And Lois we might just have another big screen adventure with the Last Son of Krypton sooner than expected. This upcoming release also means that all sides of DC fandom can and should be able to move forward and embrace the future ahead.
