Ben Affleck Calls for the Justice League Snyder Cut Again

Ben Affleck has once again called for Zack Snyder's cut of Justice League to be released. Affleck and other cast members from 2017's Justice League tweeted last year in support of the long-fabled "Snyder Cut" of the film. Affleck has reignited that discussion once more after telling Cinema Blend last Friday at a press event that Snyder's cut should be available. "I do think Zack's cut should be available," Affleck told Cinema Blend. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=justice-league-2017-photo-gallery&captions=true"] That comment comes off the heels of Affleck explaining why he's been vocal of supporting Snyder's version of the film. He told Cinema Blend that it's all about his support for the director. "I didn't know about it," Affleck said. "Zack was like, 'Hey, they are doing this thing.' And I said, 'Zack, I love you and I support you. However I can help you.'" Affleck continued and described Justice League as, "kind of a cow's body with a horse's head a little bit" in reference to the film's two directors. Snyder was the original director on the movie but after a family tragedy, he stepped away from production. Warner Bros. Pictures then hired Joss Whedon to complete the project. Therein lies the idea of a Snyder Cut. Snyder seemingly confirmed the existence of such a cut last year after making a post on social media network Vero that featured an image of film canisters with labels reading, "Z.S. JL Director's Cut, Running Time 214." Laid atop that photo were the words, "Is it real? Does it exist? Of course it does."

Fans have gone as far as renting billboard ads and flying banners behind planes in the sky with "#ReleaseTheSnyderCut" printed on them. IGN gave the movie a 7 out of 10 when it was released to theaters in 2017, but Snyder Cut fans believe a much better version of the movie exists in the wild.
