Despite the fate that the franchise has suffered with the advent of fresh CEOs of DC Films, the DCEU under the supervision of director Zack Snyder is still a cherished memory for the fans of comic book films. Thus, with his reputation preceding his work in the now-dismantled franchise, people look forward to his next move.
But in conjunction with his next moves, fans are also interested to know his opinions on superhero cinema in general. Thus, when it came time to face the music and talk about his views on 2017’sJustice Leaguewhich was created by Joss Whedon, he came clean and revealed that he is yet to watch the film, but he firmly believed that the end result wasn’t the right one.
Zack Snyder Reveals That He Still Hasn’t Watched Joss Whedon’sJustice League
The DCEU was once the leading cinematic universe that could give the MCU a run for its money, but now, it lies dismantled in the past for the creation of the DCU to become a reality. Before WB Discovery let the past franchise go downhill due to poor management,Zack Snyderwas the man behind the meteoric rise of the DCEU’s success.
And it seems like since leaving the franchise behind, he hasn’t looked back at what came after his unjust departure.
In a recent interview profile withThe Hollywood Reporter, theWatchmendirector talked about his upcoming projectRebel Moonalong with all his past creations in the film industry. Here, when talking about his version of the epic DC superhero team-up, dubbedJustice League: The Snyder Cut,he revealed that what DC eventually released in 2017 was not what the film was meant to be.
The version that was created byJoss Whedonafter Snyder’s departure was a film made to resemble an Avengers movie, which was not how the creative process behind the film was supposed to look. He said:
“We cared deeply about what we were doing, we weren’t trying to make an ‘Avengers’ movie. We weren’t. We didn’t know how, quite frankly. They brought someone in that did. I’ve never seen the [Whedonversion], but it wasn’t the answer.”
And that showed as Snyder’s version is unanimously considered to be the betterJustice Leagueof the two. Still, it was surprising for many to hear that the filmmaker hadn’t watched the other one.
What’s Next For Zack Snyder?
With the DCEU now behind him as well as the world, fans are excited to see what the filmmaker has in store for us with his upcoming film seriesRebel Moon.
The upcoming film is all set to be an intergalactic adventure filled to the brim with action and all the necessary drama one can hope for, which has got the fans riled up. Along with that, there have been reports that suggest Snyder may also be considering revivingThe Drak Knightseries made by Christopher Nolan in the future.
