The “Snyder Cut”, is the upcoming “director’s cut” of the 2017 American superhero film Justice League. It ( Justice League) is the fifth film of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) and is based on the DC Comics superhero team of the same name. Director Zack Snyder had left the production due to personal reasons and Joss Whedon took over his duties.

Joss has earlier directed a few Marvel Movies such as “The Avengers” and “The Avengers: Age of Ultron.” Fans of the DCEU across the globe expressed interest in an alternate cut which is more faithful to Snyder’s vision and storytelling style. In addition, members of the cast and crew even petitioned for the release of the original film, which they nicknamed the “Snyder Cut.”

Industry pundits and insiders believed that the release of the Snyder Cut was unlikely. But in February 2020, Warner Bros. had a change of mind and decided to move ahead with it. In the following months, Snyder himself announced that the original cut would be released as Zack Snyder’s Justice League via the streaming service HBO Max. It is believed that the restoration will cost about $20–30+ million in addition to completing the visual effects, score, and editing.

The Snyder Cut of the Justice League is believed to release around early to mid-2021 on HBO Max. It will initially be released as a four-part miniseries, with each episode being an hour long. This will be followed by a version that combines the episodes into a four-hour film. 

In addition to the new visuals and character designs, it is believed that with the deleted characters, and deleted story scenes put back in their proper place, the Snyder Cut will make for a more substantial film. Fans are eagerly awaiting its release and wish for a film that reflects Snyder’s tonal template that began with Man of Steel and continued with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

We will look at the most important and known changes which will be seen in the Snyder Cut.

• The Snyder Cut will continue the “Knightmare future” storyline that Bruce experienced in Batman vs Superman. 
• The color of the orange-red sky seen during the theatrical release’s end battle will be changed.  It is believed that the film itself will utilize a 1.66.1 aspect ratio, which is commonly known as “European Widescreen.”
• Now that Snyder is granted with full creative control and freedom, It is highly anticipated that the film will feature a score by Tom Holkenborg AKA Junkie XL. Junkie XL was dropped from the project and was replaced, Danny Elfman.
• Zack Snyder at the DC FanDome said, “People are going to see a lot more of The Flash, and get to know more of his emotional arc.”
