WHAT THIS MEANS
Even though this doesn't give any indication as to when the Snyder Cut will debut on HBO Max, it's an exciting sign that Snyder is this deep into finishing the series. Final shooting was reportedly completed just a few weeks ago, and Snyder now has all the post-production work to dive into such as editing, sound mixing, and special effects.
After so much backlash that came from the theatrical cut of Justice League in 2017, DC fans all over the world clamored to see what Snyder's true vision of this film should have been, and it was finally green-lit in late April. Snyder has teased so many changes to how the team's characters will be shown off on screen, as well as inclusions of villains like Jared Leto's Joker and Ray Porter's Darkseid, and it should all be explored more deeply than ever in this four-hour epic.
The Snyder Cut of Justice League will reportedly release on HBO Max within the next few months.
