Since the release of Justice League, many fans have been asking about the much debated “Snyder Cut” of the film. Fans are more interested in seeing Zack Snyder’s original vision, but is if even real? That’s the question.
We’ve come across several reports since 2016 claiming the Snyder cut is real, while others have come out saying there’s no such thing. A recent rumor even went as far as to say that for the past seven months, Zack Snyder has been finishing his cut of the film.
The idea is, since Snyder finished a rough cut of Justice League and then sent it off to Warner Bros., he would likely decide to finish his vision that was tarnished due to reshoots and a new director.
However, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice storyboard artist, Jay Oliva, came out with a stament to put all of these rumors to rest, well, at least for the moment.
“It’s Clickbait. Anyone who says they have “reliable sources” usually have it wrong. Whenever I site my source it’s pretty much from the person who I’m talking about. Whether it’s Zack, Geoff Johns, Patty Jenkins, Ben Affleck Taika Waititi, Kevin Feige, etc. it’s all firsthand,” according to Oliva on Twitter.
It should be noted that Jay Oliva didn’t say the Snyder cut is not real, he’s basically saying the famed director did not and is not working on finishing his version of the film. Furthermore, we should point out that in the past, Oliva did say there’s a Snyder cut.
"Other than incomplete vfx and maybe some reshoots for hookups everything was shot that was storyboarded," says Oliva. "Zack isn’t the kind of director who creates the film in the edit bay. It’s all planned out meticulously from beginning to end. That’s how MoS and BvS was done."
At the end of the day, fans should stop expecting to see the true vision of Justice League. It’ll likely find its way to the public eventually, but chances are, Warner Bros. may decide to hold on to it for years to come.
