Snyder thanked Warner Bros. for the opportunity to finish the film and release it the way it was originally planned. He said a special thank you to all the fans who supported him until recently and even launched petitions demanding that the original edit be completed. In the near future, Zack Snyder plans to assemble the team that worked on the film from the very beginning.

Recall that Snyder was originally assigned to the Justice League as a director. However, at the stage of completion of filming, he was forced to leave the project due to the death of his daughter. The studio hired Joss Whedon, who reworked the script and re-shot many of the scenes. The final cut of the film turned out to be very far from what DC fans expected to see.
