After a family tragedy, Zack Snyder is stepping away from Justice League along with his wife following their daughter committed suicide. The film is currently in post-production. There is no word on whether he will continue with Justice League 2

With the movie in post-production, there is still work left to be done on the feature. As such, it has been announced that Joss Whedon will be filling in for Snyder to finish up the movie. Warner Bros. initially toyed around with pushing back the release date of Justice League, but the Snyders were not pleased with the idea. Instead, the duo opted to remove themselves from the feature for the time being to focus on their family and personal lives. 


I know he gets alot of shite but man I can't fathom what he's going through right now. I have two daughters of my own and I'm not sure if I could go on if it was me. Godspeed.

I've given him lots of shite, but my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Suicide is simply an awful thing to go through. I mean, just damn, this is just horrible.

Snyder's work is basically done by now. All they're doing is finishing some special effects and getting the sound mix right. They can do that without him.

It sucks that I can't be happy about Snyder leaving Justice league because the reasons behind it are shitty and tragic.

Prayers sent to Zack and his family. Suicide is one of the most devastating things that can break a family apart.

Prayers to his family.

I have a teenage daughter and can't imagine what he and his family are going through.

Absolutely awful for him.


Now I can REALLY root for it to bomb because Joss Whedon is a raving mad lunatic. Joss Whedon is just a shitty person in general.

Let me start by saying of course this is a terrible tragedy. I never wish anyone to undergo this sort of pain and suffering.

However, if you cant look beyond the surface and see this is WB taking a tragic event and making a brilliant PR move out of it, you are being duped. This happened two months ago and Snyder continued to work on the film. Without getting into the emotional side of the story, why wouldnt he have left right away?

Just over a week ago, reports came about that MAJOR rewrites and reshoots were being done and that Snyder was forced to work alongside Whedon. The reports even go so far as to say the movie has basically been remade. LINK

Again, this is a tragedy for Snyder and his family. It also gave WB & Snyder a way to part ways without sending alarms and neither looking bad. It even gets public perception on their side.

The film was in a fiery tale spin. Now DC is trying to patch it back together under Whedon. Who knows how itll actually come out, but Snyder is gone and this will not be his film.

I want to say that the movie has a chance but if WB pushes the same release even Whedon might not be able to do anything with the chaos left for him to clean up.
