  • Zack Snyder's Justice League

    , a new version of the 2017 film revised and extended by its director, has been available for digital purchase in France since Thursday

  • Fans fought for several years for it, and now they want the sequel, they want to "restore the Snyder universe"

  • Zack Snyder had planned to shoot two more episodes, and sowed clues from

    Batman V Superman

    , but he no longer believes in it so he tells everything

Available for digital purchase since Thursday,

Justice League's

SnyderCut

, a 4-hour version that espouses its director's original vision, isn't just a fan's dream come true, it's also an improvement on the 2017 film, which was reprinted at the era in hand by Joss Whedon.

If the story, the stakes, certain relationships are the same, everything is more in-depth, more fluid, more epic… longer too.

But there are also real differences, or rather additions, which extend the universe of the film, and even promise a sequel, sequels.

“When I originally made the movie, it was part of a five-part epic,” Zack Snyder told

Vanity Fair

.

With

Man of Steel,

Batman V Superman

and a

Justice League

trilogy

.

“There were two more episodes to shoot.

"

- CAUTION SPOILERS - CAUTION SPOILERS - CAUTION SPOILERS -

But will these films see the light of day?

According to Zack Snyder, it's unlikely, as he explains to

Variety

and The

New York Times

 : “Warner considers the

Justice League

film edit to

be canon, they are 100% deviating from my heritage.

I'm just a little experience at the Elseworlds ”.

Before adding all the same to

Vanity Fair:

"I never thought to speak one day of a restored version of

Justice League

, so never say never".

In fact, the hashtag #RestoreTheSnyderVerse replaced the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut on Twitter.

But Zack Snyder no longer believes it, the proof is that he tells in an interview the main lines of these sequels.

Damn for damn.

Detailed storyboards illustrated by famous cartoonist Jim Lee can even be found on the networks.

Are you ready ?

At your peril.

New superheroes

At the end of

Zack Snyder's Justice League

, our superheroes

united

with a resurrected Superman prevent the reunification of Mothers Boxes, get rid of the villainous Steppenwolf, and save Earth.

But the film announces that the big bad boss Darkseid, the Thanos of DC Comics, has not finished, and intends to return to Earth "in the old way".

Implied with a good old invasion.

The last shot also shows a new superhero, the Martian Manhunter, to warn Batman of Darkseid's upcoming return.

“We shot this scene with Green Lantern, but the studio really didn't want it,” says Zack Snyder.

Warner does indeed have plans for a future

Green Lantern

movie

, so the Martian Manhunter was the compromise.

The "Knightmare" revisited and extended

On the other hand, the director was able to have the Joker, played by Jared Leto, for a sequence shot especially for the SnyderCut and which echoes and follows the scene that has become cult of the “Knightmare”.

The what ? 

In Batman V Superman

, Bruce Wayne has a premonition-like nightmare about an apocalyptic future under the reign of Darkseid and a ... wicked Superman!

Flash tries to contact him from the future to warn him that Lois Lane is the key and he must save her.

This vision is complemented by two short stories in the SnyderCut, one of Cyborg who sees Wonder Woman and Aquaman being killed by Darkseid, and the other of Batman, where he forms a funny Justice League with Flash, Cyborg, Mera, but also his best enemies Deathstroke and the Joker, to face Superman.

This is actually a preview of

Justice League 2

.

Save Lois, save the world

To summarize the various interviews and comments of the director, the sequel would have seen Darkseid land on Earth and Superman give in to the Anti-Life Equation, a source formula of all power and control, following the death of Lois Lane.

A death caused by Batman.

To thwart this apocalypse, Cyborg reportedly worked on a formula and used a Motherbox to send Flash back to the past, and prevent Batman from saving Lois Lane.

At the cost of his life.

The third and final film would have seen Aquaman and the armies of Atlantis, Wonder Woman and the Amazons, and Superman, Flash and Cyborg and the humans at war with Darkseid.

Sequels, series… or nothing, is it over?

It is not finished.

Zack Snyder has decided to say everything, and he even spades the end of his epic, where Superman and Lois would have a son, named Bruce… and future new Batman.

Do not throw any more, at the same time, these possible films are very envious, and on the other hand, they are already told, spoiled.

According to the success of the SnyderCut, it doesn't say the SnyderVerse ends there, but maybe not in the form of

Justice League 2

and

3

.

There are already the announced sequels to

Aquaman

and

Wonder Woman

, as well as a

Flash

movie

that will explore the multiverse.

In addition, HBO Max, the American broadcaster, needs content like Disney + with the Marvel series.

Maybe they'll bring Snyder spinoff series about characters, like the Martian Manhunter, Cyborg, Batman, Superman… or all of them together, and we'd call it the Justice League?

We loose nothing.
