Welp, this is apparently happening.

After years of fans calling for the release of the #SnyderCut , Warner Bros. announced Wednesday that director Zack Snyders cut of the 2017 film Justice League will be coming to HBO Max.

After global passionate fan calls to action and the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut movement, HBO Max and Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that it will exclusively world premiere Zack Snyders directors cut of the Warner Bros. Pictures/DC feature film Justice League in 2021, said an HBO Max press release.

Snyder also delivered the news on Wednesday during a live online commentary/watch-along of his 2013 film Man of Steel.

I want to thank HBO Max and Warner Brothers for this brave gesture of supporting artists and allowing their true visions to be realized. Also a special thank you to all of those involved in the Snyder Cut movement for making this a reality, said Snyder, according to the release.

What form Snyders alternative cut of Justice League ultimately takes is still up in the air. According to The Hollywood Reporter , it could be a four-hour directors cut or divided up into six TV-style installments.

The road here has been a long one.

After Snyder stepped away from finishing Justice League following the death of his daughter, Joss Whedon took over the film, giving it a lighter tone. Fans didnt love it. Justice League was such a critical and box office disappointment that a campaign to release Snyders original, darker cut of the movie began.
