A fake Justice League Snyder Cut release announcement fooled a lot of fans on April Fool's Day. Original director Zack Snyder's version of the Warner Bros. and DC Films project continues to be a favorite topic of conversation for the public despite it being a couple of years since the movie hit theaters. Proof of that is how a recently fake ment about its rolled out quickly garnered the interest of a lot of people.
Justice League's production was a tumultuous one with a last-minute director switch between Snyder and Joss Whedon, who manned extensive reshoots and post-production. This resulted in Snyder's original plan being substantially changed. That quickly became apparent when the film released, paving the way for the Danny Elfman stepped in) intended musical score. Over the years, the petition has earned backing from a lot of prominent personalities, including several cast including Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot.
As part of the yearly pranking tradition on April Fool's day, an Justice League's Snyder Cut. The post is complete with a poster, coupled with an official-looking caption. Check it out below:
The image used in the tweet is BossLogic's Justice League Snyder Cut poster. It's unknown if he has anything to do with the prank, however. It features the main heroes of Justice League complete with black suit Superman (Henry Cavill) - a moment from the movie that was cut in its theatrical version. It also has Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter. ittedly, the post looked legit at face value, but one peek at the comments section and there, people warn others that it's nothing but a joke. Even MCU star Kumail Nanjiani pointed out that the Twitter has a very small following, which is telling about the authenticity of this announcement. Meanwhile, others who were fooled couldn't help but express their disappointment upon learning that it's nothing but an April Fool's gag.
If anything, the enthusiastic response to this prank further validates the idea that ers of the campaign remain hopeful Warner Bros. will ultimately heed their demands, especially with Snyder's backing. At this point, the studio remains mum about the matter, but it doesn't seem like the movement is going anywhere. In fact, another reason this joke has fooled a lot of people is because it's a logical move for them to release the Snyder Cut on HBO Max to lure more people to sign up for the streaming platform. Whether or not this is a possibility that the company's executives are seriously discussing is unknown, but given the continued clamor for this version of Justice League, it's almost impossible to think that they're not even considering it.
