Gal Gadot, Ben Affleck join 'Justice League' fans in demanding #ReleaseTheSnyderCut
Zack Snyder, original director of the film, left during the post-production after his daughter died
Recently DC fans have been demanding Zack Snyder’s original cut of Justice League and it seems they have earned the support of Wonder Woman and The Dark Knight. After the hashtag #ReleaseTheSnyderCut went viral on social media, Gal Gadot and Ben Affleck also tweeted with the same hashtag on Sunday, showing their support to the cause.
Gadot’s tweet had no context and simply a black and white picture of the actor with hashtag #ReleaseTheSnyderCut, while Affleck's tweet followed his fans, who were trying to get trending on Sunday to mark the second anniversary of the release of Justice League.
Snyder, the original director of the film, had stepped down during post-production of the film, after the unfortunate death of his daughter. Following this, Joss Whedon was hired to finish the editing after which he also re-shot the scenes he wrote himself, according to The Wrap.
However, Justice League ended up being no Avengers, with lukewarm fan reception and grossing well below $1 billion at the box office.
Since then, fans have been demanding Warner Bros to re-release the film of the original cut that Snyder intended, one that composer Tom Junkie XL Holkenborg confirmed had a score composed for it before it was replaced by Whedon.
“The full score is still there,” Holkenborg told CinemaBlend last month. “It’s a really great score, and it’s just there. It never goes away. We’ll see what happens in the future, you know?”
As for Gadot, she is still an active part of the DC Universe, getting ready to appear as Diana Prince for the fourth time on the big screen in Wonder Woman 1984, set for release on June 5.
