WarnerMedia Studios released DC’s “Justice League” back in 2017. Avengers Director Joss Whedon stepped in to finish the film after Zack Snyder departed the project. The release immediately spurred a years long social media campaign for the studio to release the film Snyder originally intended on making. The hashtag #ReleaseTheSnyderCut was born and began trending on Twitter. The studio finally answered fans’ calls and “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” is now on HBO Max. The four-hour long director's cut significantly expands on the story of superhero Cyborg. KPCC’s John Horn sat down with Snyder to talk about the long-awaited and highly anticipated recut, what made it all possible, who the true inspiration is behind the film and more.
