SnyderVerse Snuffed Out
Posted By:

Following close on the heels of an explosive Rolling Stone article detailing claims of social media fakery and other nefarious deeds by director Zack Snyder, at the San Diego Comic-Con DC Publisher and CEO Jim Lee revealed that there are no plans for further work on his material.

His language was positive and didn't reference any of those claims but also unquestionably cool on the notion of revival.

You know what's amazing, is that we spent two years in lockdown -- and here we are, back at a convention, celebrating the art form, feeling good. I work on the projects that are in development. And so, I think the Snyder Cut was Zack's vision realized, and it was a really satisfying story told, but there's no plans for additional work on that material. So, I was happy to help contribute to the pitch for the other stuff, and it was kind of fun to actually see that stuff get out there, 'cause I did that years ago. I actually thought it had been erased, but they had kept it in storage.

Of the Justice League Snyder recut Rolling Stone's insider claimed:

That’s $73 million while people were losing their jobs at the studio for a director’s cut of a film that already lost hundreds of millions

It will be fascinating to see how the social media tsunami responds.
