Zack Snyder talks Justice League: "Frankly, it was meant as the primer for another two movies"

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Zack Snyder's Justice League was never meant to be just one movie. The director's vision for the Justice League saga was always intended to be so much more. Yet, unlike the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the DꦓC movies have been far less connected, and the filmmakers behind these blockbusters certainly see their creations as not entirely in sync with each other.

"In a lot of ways, I view this movie on its own," Snyder tells 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Total Film in the latest issue of the magazine. "I love [澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Wonder Woman director] Patty [Jenkins] and I think she's done an amazing job, and [Aquaman director] James [Wan] has done a great job – they've made their own movies. But I just thought, 'I’m gonna stay the course that I thought was cool.' There's a bunch of stuff I do differently than what they do, but I just think of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Justice League as its own thing at this point. It exists 🐎kind of on its ow🌳n."

Which raises an important question for anyone who's ever followed a superhero franchise on screen or in comics – which one is canon? "I think fans would say that my movie is canon and the rest💖 are off canon, ♕but that's just me!" Snyder laughs, before getting (slightly) more serious. 

"For me, there's a trilogy of films that I sort of lean on. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Man Of Steel, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Batman v Superman, and Justice League are a continuity, and within that three-movie arc there is a consistent tone. Frankly, it was meant as the primer for another two [Justice League] movies – not that those movies are ever going to get photographed, I don't see that happening – and it stays true to that concept. It was meant to be like Lord Of The Rings a﷽nd not a one-off. That's the way I think about it.”

While Snyder has dampened any expectations that a second (or third) Justice League moꦜvie will ever happen, fans are still hoping that a big enough reaction to the new cut could spur on a rethinking at Warner Bros.
