'Justice League Snyder Cut' to not have any shot from theatrical release

Director says he would rather 'set it on fire'

As the much talked about 'Snyder Cut' for the film Justice League, gears up for a release early next year, director Zack Snyder has become more vocal about what audiences can expect. In his talks during the past few weeks, Snyder had also made it clear that his vision for the film is drastically different from that of dirctor Joss Wheadon.

Speaking at JusticeCon, Snyder talked about how he would rather destroy his version rather than include scenes shot by Whedon, reported Hindustan Times. “There will be no chance on earth that I will use a shot prior or after I left the movie. I would destroy the movie, I would set it on fire before I would use a single frame that I did not photograph. That is a hard fact,” he said.

He added, “I literally would blow that thing up, if I thought for a second… Anything you see in this movie that reminds you of the theatrical release, which again, famously, I literally have never seen, would be because that was a thing that I had done, and was being borrowed for whatever, that Frankenstein’s monster that you got in the theatre.”

Snyder recently also shared his opinion on Matt Reeves' upcoming film The Batman. Speaking to Grace Randolph on Beyond the Trailer, Snyder cleared that netither his nor Reeves' film is tied to the ongoing continuity, reported Comicbook.com. He also praised actor Robert Pattinson and said he was excited for the new film.

Snyder said that while he might not be driving the shared continuity anymore the way he was when Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League were in the planning stages, that doesn't mean his enthusiasm for movies like The Batman -- or for that matter Wonder Woman 1984 and Aquaman -- has waned at all.

"You look at what Matt's doing with Batman," Snyder told Randolph on YouTube. "And by the way I'm super excited about that; I think he's an amazing filmmaker and I think it's going to be great, and Robert's cool."
