VIDEO: HBO Max Releases First Clip of Zack Snyder’s ‘Justice League’

The long-awaited release of the original “Justice League” film, as helmed by Zack Snyder, is almost here. HBO Max released a teaser to the movie dubbed as the “Snyder cut,” which was shelved when the director left the production midway during filming.

This cut features the introduction of the villain Darkseid, who was always going to be part of the movie but was cut from the final version. There has been a long and interesting history about the Snyder cut.

According to The Verge:

Snyder originally stepped away from “Justice League” following the death of his daughter, leading Warner Bros. to bring in director Joss Whedon (who was already helping with script rewrites at an earlier stage) to oversee reshoots and shepherd the film through editing and post-production. Once “Justice League” was released in November 2017, fans took issue with Whedon’s lighter, more comedic contributions to the film. A campaign started not long after the film’s initial release for Warner Bros. to deliver a “Snyder cut.”
