Zack Snyder’s Justice League Trailer is Finally Here

Movies

The long-awaited trailer for Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League has been released, but not without controversy.

Someone with access to a still of the trailer leaked an image, which forced Snyder to move up the release from its scheduled time.

The following tweet from Grace Randolph states, “It seems some jerk has leaked still from the trailer – be sure to avoid them so you can experience the trailer properly.”

The trailer contains the narrative this movie will be centered around, bringing the Justice League together to face Steppenwolf, Darkseid, and the end of the world. The story, combined with a beautiful score, sets up a potentially stellar movie that fans are very hyped to see.

There was no help to be seen from the companies supposedly behind this movie, as Warner Bros., Warner Media, and Warner Bros. Pictures were silent on social media until finally retweeting the official trailer posted by HBO Max today. They didn’t even retweet the director’s own post.
