ZSJL paving path to the big screens!

Yes, you read it right. Three years after its OTT release, it will hit the big screens. And it’s not a rumor, it was officially announced on Zack Snyder’s Vero account.

The original Justice League, directed by Zack Snyder was set to lead DCEU in 2017. But a personal tragedy stuck home as his daughter, Amber, committed suicide, making Snyder leave the production. WB roped in The Avengers director Joss Whedon to lead the DCEU, but things didn’t work out as intended as coerced humor along with bad timings and bossy treatment of the crew (especially towards Ray Fisher and Gal Gadot), and too much of a colorish tone, didn’t make it ‘Josstice League’ as expected and plummeted the DCEU, terribly.

This led to petitions and campaigns from fans, and Snyder’s ambition to finish it as planned, called for its completion, and at last after 3 years, Zack Snyder’s Justice League (ZSJL) saw light on Max in 2021. The four-hour-long movie gave the fans what they wanted to a very good fucking extent. After watching ZSJL, one can say that Josstice League was one big teaser of the entire flick.

In April 2023, the ‘Full Circle’ event held by Snyder screened the Snyderverse trilogy, Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition), and Zack Snyder’s Justice League. This was aimed to raise funds for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in honor of Amber.

What does this mean for DCEU? Is it Fucking Back!?

How great would that news be right, and we would’ve happily announced it, but sorry, the DCEU is not coming back! But, ZSJL is definitely hitting the big screens in some time. No matter how much the fans campaign, with Snyder accepting to continue his DC plans in some form, DC is not ready to sell Snyderverse to Netflix. The current CEOs of DC Studios, James Gunn and Peter Sarfan scrapped the old DCEU to be replaced with a new DCEU, starting with the animated series, Creature Commandos, in late 2024. They will be followed by David Corenswet’s Superman, in July 2025, as the first movie for the new DCEU.

The good not-so-ol’ DC and the new DC can create confusion and maybe this can refrain it from a worldwide release. So, as per the current situation, ZSJL might come out only in the US and that too at selected theaters. Snyder teased fans with a cryptic post “Want to see ZSJL on the big screen….stay tuned for a date”, on Vero.

Some of us are surely gonna watch it on big screen if it comes anywhere in Mumbai, damn sure, no matter what. ZSJL is epic, mann, love it!

You can watch it on Amazon Prime.
