Justice League became a much talked about film since its release in 2017. The movie was directed by Zack Snyder, but his cut did not make it to the theatres as the filmmaker left the project halfway following a family tragedy. Joss Whedon was then called in to direct Justice League and reportedly changed Snyder’s work.

Justice League received mostly negative reviews and failed to match expectations at the box office. Since then, fans had been demanding Snyder’s cut of the films with #Releasethesnydercut campaign. Now after three years of the original movie release, Zack Snyder’s version of the Justice League will finally release on HBO Max. Read to know more.
