Zack Snyder’s Justice Leagueis just over a month away from us and the hype around this film is surreal. The final marketing campaign hasn’t even begun yet, and it’s still trending on Twitter with just the pictures that Snyder keeps sharing. Even the people who weren’t very fond of the originalDCEUare excited to see theSnyder Cut. It is more than just a regular movie. The fact that the Snyder Cut is happening signifies a certain victory of fans over Studio politics. Just like Superman’s “S,” the Snyder Cut is a symbol of hope. Every fan of the original DCEU is hoping that the upcomingJustice Leaguemovie could start a revolution.
The Batman
Ben Affleck’sThe Batmanwas the project thatWarner Bros.originally planned before Matt Reeves came in. After the Snyder Cut’s announcement, rumors suggested thatBen Affleckis already onboard with HBO Max for a Batman series. But recently, Deadline reported that he is set to direct a live-action adaptation of the bestselling book series “Keeper of the Lost Cities” for Disney. So, the rumor about the Batfleck HBO Max series might not be true.
But onceZack Snyder’s Justice Leagueredeems Batman, HBO Max and Affleck could come to a new deal. We’d love it if Affleck’s incomplete Batman project were to be revived. Batman vs. Deathstroke was a very interesting premise. It felt like an even bigger missed opportunity when Joe Manganiellorevealed the plot detailsof the project. So, we really hope that the original Batfleck project will be greenlit soon.
Man of Steel 2
BesidesCyborg, it wasSupermanwho had to face the most injustice in the theatrical release. He had a lot more to do in the film than just show up with a weird fake baby mouth. AndZack Snyder’s Justice Leaguewill showcase all that. We’ve all been hoping to see aMan of Steelsequel since forever. But Warner Bros. is busy developing other projects featuring Superman. They’ve come up with multiple animated Superman movies, and now Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman has also got his exclusive series.
But WB hasn’t been using their best Superman option at all. Instead of givingHenry Cavillhis due diligence, they are trying to use him for cameos and supporting roles in films likeShazam! Fury of the Godsand others. Hopefully,Justice Leaguewill make WB realize that they need to fast track aMan of Steelsequel.
Justice League 2 (and 3)
Zack Snyder was going for a 5 movie arc that would have ended withJustice League 3.But he has confirmed that there are no plans for him to return and make a DC movie after the Snyder Cut. That could change if hisJustice Leagueproduces results. HBO Max or Warner Bros. might be forced to complete his ultimate vision.
Snyder had some very elaborate plans with Darkseid, Superman, Green Lantern,Martian Manhunter, and several other characters. Superman was supposed to succumb to the anti-life equation. Meanwhile, Batman, Cyborg, Flash, Deathstroke, and other characters were supposed to take a stand in the Knightmare future. All that could once again become a reality if Snyder’sJustice Leagueprevails on HBO Max.
Deathstroke
BesidesThe Batman, Joe Manganiello was supposed to star in a solo Deathstroke origins movie which was going to be directed by Gareth Evans. But the project got canceled after Zack Snyder and Ben Affleck parted ways with Warner Bros. With Slade Wilson’s return in the Snyder Cut, a Deathstroke solo project could possibly get revived as an HBO Max mini-series, or as a feature-length theatrical release.
A Joker Project / Suicide Squad (The Ayer Cut)
Everyone knows thatJared Letowasn’t given his fair share of the spotlight to shine in David Ayer’sSuicide Squad. All his footage ended up on the editing room floors and the version ofSuicide Squadwe saw was heavily meddled with. Then instead of his solo Joker movie, Warner Bros. chose Joaquin Phoenix’sJoker. So with Joker’s appearance in the Snyder Cut, Jared Leto might get a chance to shine. He may not get to return as Joker in a solo project, but theAyer Cutcould surely get a boost of confidence.
Which of the aforementioned projects would you like to see ifZack Snyder’s Justice Leaguebeats all odds? Tell us in the comments down below.
