Zack Snyder’sJustice LeagueIsn’t Coming to Netflix Anytime Soon
While the addition of 12 DC movies, including most of the Snyderverse alongsideThe BatmanandThe Suicide Squadwas met with jubilation, the absence ofZSJLon the list didn’t sit well with fans. Released back in 2021 after excessive fan campaigns, Zack Snyder’sJustice Leaguewas a substantial improvement from its predecessor.

And things aren’t much better inZSJL‘s case too, as scoopersclaimedWarner Bros. Discovery reportedly isn’t keen on lending one of their biggest Max releases to Netflix. While it can’t be said for sure if these are true or not, WBD’s refusal to give the rights ofZSJLdoes seem reasonable, as the four-hour-long cut originally debuted as a Max original. So, the chances of the studio giving its rights to Netflix are pretty slim.
