Jason Momoa was the first person to say he saw Zack Snyder's cut of Justice League, but apparently many people have seen it and say it's "amazing." The campaign for the Snyder Cut has been persistent since Joss Whedon's version hit theaters in November 2017, but it's really been since Momoa threw his hat into the ring that more cast and crew started to speak up.
Initially, there was debate about whether or not it existed, HBO's Watchmen showrunner suggested he'd seen it back in November 2019 when the Snyder Cut trended #1 worldwide on Twitter.
Recently, Ben Affleck even said he wanted to help Snyder however he could in a recent interview.
Justice League's stunt coordinator, Eunice Huthart, spoke with Screen Rant during an interview for the home release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, where she also served as stunt coordinator. When asked about the topic of the Snyder Cut, Huthart had a lot to say:
Yeah, there's a few questions about that, and I'm sure that I'm okay to say I officially know people who've seen the Snyder cut and said it's absolutely amazing. And I do believe that that's the movie we were making, Zack Snyder's version of the film. You know, with the heartache of what happened with his daughter, we pulled out [and did] the reshoots of it. So, the movie took a slightly different turn.
I watched the cinema release of the film, and I texted Zack to say, "What's this I'm hearing about this Snyder cut? I need to see it." And he did promise me next time I'm in LA, that I'll go watch it. So I will at some point, definitely go and watch the Snyder cut. And I have spoken to people who actually said it's brilliant. They said it's absolutely golden.
With the amount of buzz its been getting, especially recently, it shouldn't be a surprise that crew like Huthart are texting Snyder to try to get a private screening of the now-legendary cut (Zack Snyder's Justice League. It's easy to assume something must be up, but any dealmaking that may or may not be taking place could be on hold until after the coronavirus has ed - especially if Snyder plans to shoot more material.
Nevertheless, the Snyder Cut is far further along than many other productions who saw production halted, so if there is any way to complete it and release it in the near future, it'll surely be a welcome boon to a Hollywood bottom line hurting from delays and cancelations. Even just as a carrot for HBO Max, the time to release the Snyder Cut has never been better (excluding its originally intended release date, of course).
