    First Official ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ Trailer Teases the Coming of Apokolips

    Yes, it has been a long wait but the official full trailer for Zack Snyder’s Justice League has finally dropped. As one might suspect, it gives us a good look at the many elements that didn’t make it into the original 2017 release of the film. We get a good look at Darkseid, the new design for Steppenwolf, and so much more. The age of heroes has returned with the brand new trailer that is sure to make a lot of people happy that are highly anticipating our first real look at Snyder‘s original vision of the film.

    The trailer offers a lot of the sequences that have been teased ever since it was officially revealed. We get a closer look at our favorite heroes and Superman’s new black suit. It will be interesting to see how different the film will be once it officially releases on HBO MAx next March. Surprisingly, there is no showcase of Martian Manhunter, who has been revealed to be in the film some time ago. So, there is a chance there are still quite a few secrets that Snyder is keeping close to the chest for once it officially releases. At least, we got our first look at the SWAT uniform version of Jared Leto‘s Joker. We only have to wait for a little over a month until it finally is released, so you can be sure we will be checking it out once the Snyder Cut is finally released to the world. Let’s see what the future may hold for the DCEU as it continues to expand and explore new ventures.

  • First Look at Granny Goodness in Latest ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ Teaser

    First Look at Granny Goodness in Latest ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ Teaser

    The build-up to Zack Snyder’s Justice League has been monumental. For a while now, Snyder has been teasing the inclusion of Darkseid in his film. At one point, the character got cut from the theatrical cut of the film aside from a few name drops from Parademon grunts. We got our first look at the lord of Apokolips back at DC Fandome, and from there, fans weren’t sure just how much we would see of the character, as his uncle Steppenwolf remains the primary foe of the film. Now that the countdown has begun, it makes us wonder if we get more teases of how much of the New Gods we can expect. Snyder has dropped short teasers every day to build up to its release. It seems fans are about to get a lot more than they bargained for, as the newest teaser provides a much better look at Darkseid alongside his closest and trusted confidants.

    The short teaser offered us our first possible look at a classic New God that’s commanded the legions of Parademons and Female Furies since their very inception. In a short glimpse at what looks to be a throne room on the planet of Apokolips, we see an armor-clad Darkseid joined by Desaad. Now, the big surprise is on his other side, as it confirms the first live-action appearance of Granny Goodness. It makes sense for Darkseid to keep her close by, especially during times of war. She was the one that trains and commands his army, so she is a powerful ally to have. It looks like the film is set to feature much more of the New Gods than previously seen before. Zack Snyder’s Justice League starts streaming on March 18th exclusively on HBO Max.

  • ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’: First Look at Jared Leto’s Joker Released

    ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’: First Look at Jared Leto’s Joker Released

    Zack Snyders Justice League will see the return of many familiar faces, whether that be the League themselves or the new gods of Apokolips. Everyone’s sure to know one of the many faces that will show up throughout the film. A more controversial addition to the table is Jared Leto, who will reprise his role as the clown prince of crime. This inclusion marks his first return after his appearance in 2016’s Suicide Squad. He was notably absent from Birds of Prey and The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn, in which musical artist Johnny Goth doubled for the character. It looks like Zack Snyder is going to explore a very unique version of Leto‘s Joker, which he revealed in Vanity Fair to the public, as we countdown to the March release.

    The black-and-white image reveals that he doesn’t have the controversial tattoos from Suicide Squad. The director did confirm that we will also get a version of the character covered in police badges, which he collected as trophies, at some point in the film. This version of the character seems more road-worn. Snyder did reveal that he will play an essential part in a sequence featuring Ben Affleck‘s Batman. Justice League aims to build upon the various plot threads set-up in Batman v. Superman. He also pointed out that the Joker’s inclusion will add to the backstory involving Robin. We still never got any details on what transpired, so it’ll be interesting to get some more information on the event. We are only a few weeks away from the release, so here’s hoping we get more reveals.

  • ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’: Harry Lenix Confirms Martian Manhunter Appearance

    ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’: Harry Lenix Confirms Martian Manhunter Appearance

    Zack Snyder’s Justice League is by far one of the most anticipated films of 2021. The film has risen to legendary status at this point. Many thought the rumored cut of the film would never see the light of day. Throughout the past few years, Snyder would take to Vero to tease aspects of the film that never made it into the version we saw from Joss Whedon. One scene, in particular, was the reveal of General Swanwick’s true identity. It seems he always intended for the character to be the Martian Manhunter in disguise. Now that the Snyder Cut is a reality, it opened up the floodgate on theories if we’d get to see Manhunter on the silver screen after all.

    In a recent interview with Collider, Harry Lennix got asked about his thoughts on the upcoming mini-series and his character. He then revealed that he’d never actually filmed these scenes due to scheduling issues on The Blacklist. At the time, he knew nothing of his secret identity. He didn’t get a chance to read the script before Snyder left the production. However, Lennix stated that he met with Zack and his team back in October. As such, he was able to finish his scenes for the film via green screen.

    With Lennix on set for Snyder‘s additional photography, it could be possible that Snyder may have included the Martian in the newest Knightmare scene. The timing would match when rumors hit that other actors shot some scenes for this sequence, such as Jared Leto and Joe Manganiello. It would be a great addition to Batman’s resistance and would give fans much more Manhunter than they initially expected. Zack Snyder’s Justice League will reportedly release in March as a four-part mini-series on the HBO Max streaming service. We are only a few months away before Snyder’s original vision of the Justice League is revealed, so who knows what else may be heading our way until then.

  • ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’: First Look at Joe Manganiello’s Deathstroke

    ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’: First Look at Joe Manganiello’s Deathstroke

    Zack Snyder’s Justice League is feeling like one big family reunion. Everyone is back on board to bring this film to life once more. Even if most of them are going to be at each other’s throats, keep in mind that they’re along for the ride through thick and thin. One of the later additions for the director’s cut was Joe Manganiello‘s Slade Wilson, aka Deathstroke. The mercenary had only previously appeared once in the DCEU. That was at the tail end of the theatrical Justice League release, in which we saw the character meet up with a now bald Lex Luthor. He offered Deathstroke the chance to form a league that can rival that of the newly founded Justice League.

    Manganiello shared a new look at his character for the upcoming film. It seems mostly faithful to what we saw in the initial release with a few changes. This version seems to be slightly older than when we saw him last time. His hair seems much whiter, and he is sporting a mohawk. If you didn’t know, Manganiello did everything to prepare for this role. He took up sword fighting and katana lessons, as well as researching the best form of martial arts for the character to use. All that for a minor cameo, as he believed it would turn into a larger role later down the line. This more grizzled look could hint at Wilson showing up in a Knightmare scene, or it could be what Snyder intended his Deathstroke to look like in the first place.

    Manganiello was once slated to be the main villain of Ben Affleck‘s Batman movie and receive his spinoff from director Gareth Evans who worked on the highly praised Raid franchise that was ultimately known for its intense martial arts action sequences. It’s unclear now what the future holds for Slade Wilson in the DCEU, but hopefully, this won’t be the last time we see him.

    ‘Zack Snyders Justice League’ Latest Trailer Adds Some New Scenes

    The fabled Snyder Cut of Justice League has become one of the most infamous and interesting topics in the entertainment world to date. After a 3-year campaign and millions of supporters around the world, Warner Bros had finally decided to move forward with the project. Back in May, it was confirmed by Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill during the Man Of Steel anniversary live stream. The cut was indeed coming and was due to release sometime in 2021.

    We then got a new look at Zack Snyders Justice League back in August at the DC Fandome event, where the first official trailer made its debut. Recently the trailer got taken down but turned out to be caused by a rights issue with the Cohen estate. Snyder took to Vero today to reveal the newest look at the film, a black and white trailer similar to that of the one we saw back in August. Yet, this time with a few extra tidbits thrown into the mix. Zack Snyders Justice Lague is set to feature the return of actors who were cut from the original film, such as Ray Porter, Willem Dafoe, Kiersey Klemons, Orion Lee, and Karen Bryson.

    Zack Snyders Justice League is currently set to debut sometime next year on the HBO Max streaming service. The film will feature many familiar faces such as Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Ray Fisher, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa, Henry Cavill, Ciaran Hinds, and Amy Adams. We are currently still waiting for the official release date to be announced.

  • Joe Manganiello to Reprise Role as Deathstroke in ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’

    Joe Manganiello to Reprise Role as Deathstroke in ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’

    Reshoots for Zack Snyder’s Justice League started to take place earlier this week, as reported by THR. So far, the cast members that were included in these reshoots were reportedly Ben Affleck, Ray Fisher, Jared Leto, and Amber Heard as Batman, Cyborg, Joker, and Mera respectively. Now, we have learned that Joe Manganiello is set to reprise his role as Deathstroke for the upcoming DC production, as reported by Collider & their sources state that Manganiello will be returning to the set for additional shooting.

     

     

    It is important to note that Joe Manganiello was seen last night during a League of Legends event live on Twitch sporting a look similar to that of his Deathstroke appearance in the Justice League (2017) post-credit scene, as seen in the image above. When the project was officially announced back in May, Manganiello had actually gone on Instagram to state that the Synder Cut would include “the original post-credit scene”. What that original post-credit scene was, only time will tell.

     

    Zack Snyder’s Justice League is set to premiere exlucisvely on HBO Max in 2021.

  • Jared Leto to Return as Joker for ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’

    Jared Leto to Return as Joker for ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’

    The fabled Snyder Cut of 2017’s Justice League will be making its way to HBO Max sometime next year. Just recently, it was revealed that Zack Snyder would indeed be returning behind the camera to work on additional photography for his director’s cut. It was reported that Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Ray Fisher, Amber Heard, and Ezra Miller were set to return for additional scenes. It would allow Snyder to add the scenes he wasn’t able to finish during its initial production before Joss Whedon took over. In a sudden twist, it’s now being reported that Jared Leto’s clown prince of crime will also return to the big screen as part of this new vision of the team-up film.

    Leto previously played the Joker in the 2016 film Suicide Squad. His take on the role stirred quite a controversy due to his very unique depiction of the clown prince of crime. It’s unclear how big of a role Leto will have in the film but most likely isn’t much, as he wasn’t included in the original cut released back in 2017. We might get him in some flashbacks depicting what truly happened to Robin, which was briefly teased in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

    Along with this news, it’s also been confirmed that Jon Berg, Geoff Johns, and Joss Whedon will not be receiving credits on this cut of the film. They are also in no way involved in the new production. Now that it is officially titled Zack Snyders Justice League, we cannot wait to see his initial villain come to life once the film is released on HBO Max.
