Zack Snyder has revealed that he is finishing the Justice League for free. Snyder is following his journey towards his cut of Justice League for some years now. It will be his third DCEU feature. Snyder was forced to leave the original cut due to family tragedy. And so Warner Bros. brought Joss Whedon. Thus, a major part of Snyder’s vision was changed. Fans were not happy with this and they started a campaign to get the Snyder Cut. They received good news earlier this year when Snyder announced that Snyder Cut of Justice League will be released this year on HBO Max.
It will be the official work of Snyder. In addition to including various members of the Justice League, version of Zack Snyder will include members of the Justice League who were removed from the theatrical version. Snyder has disclosed that his version would be long. And therefore, there are chances that it would release in miniseries. He has not compensated for it.

During the Justice Con panel that happened on Saturday, Snyder shared his excitement and gratitude for completing his Justice League. Since May, Snyder is busy completing his cut. He seems enthusiastic and focused while getting his cut finished. Snyder is enjoying the process. He said, “It’s exciting to get this chance and I wouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth and I love working on it and I’d do it for free – and I am.”
At first, this might seem shocking that Snyder is completing his cut for free. But if we go down deeper and find out the expense of the project, it makes sense. Snyder Cut’s budget is $30 million.
Had it been nudged any higher, Warner Bros. might’ve felt risky about backing it. Thus, it’s good that Snyder is so excited about it. This is a terrific example of an artist laboring a project because he truly wants to. He is not even concerned about the money.
Snyder has not made any compromises while trying to make his cut release. Snyder has always been open to getting his version of the Justice League to the world. Still, there is more than half a year to see Snyder Cut on HBO Max. But Snyder will be seen next month at DC FanDome and might share more about his most anticipated film.
