As the campaign for the 'Snyder Cut' of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker) and overseeing extensive reshoots.
Justice League ultimately premiered to lackluster reviews and a wholly underwhelming return at the box office. Since then, Warner Bros. has switched tactics with their DC films - offering more standalone, character-driven stories such as the newly-released Joker winning the coveted Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival en-route to a plausible Oscar run and Aquaman earning over a billion at the box office. Despite that, and the fact it's coming up on two years later, a large portion of fans continue to campaign for the release of Snyder's original vision for the Justice League film.
The latest efforts are currently taking place at New York Comic Con - with fans even going as far as to club together to pay for two billboards. One bears the usual hashtag used by the movement. The other, meanwhile, bears an image of Snyder himself. It is coupled with a quote from the director which is often used as proof of Snyder's original film being all-but ready to go - stating that he "has a cut" and that "it's done". Snyder recently caught wind of the latest efforts, and personally took to Vero to thank the fans responsible, labeling the ion "truly amazing" and "humbling". A screenshot of the full post can be seen in the space below:
Snyder himself has frequently added fuel to the fire, intermittently releasing new images and details regarding what his version of the film entailed. As well as promising a significantly expanded role for Darkseid, would have had a significant presence in his film, including a whole section of the movie dedicated to his backstory. The most recent reveal came courtesy of a storyboard that revealed Martian Manhunter would have had a role in Justice League.
The movement has even garnered a number of celebrity fans in recent months, with both raising thousands for suicide prevention charities. Though it remains unknown whether the campaign will ultimately bear fruit, taking time out to once again express gratitude will no doubt spur fans to continue on with their Justice League mission.
