Justice League: 10 New Scenes Zack Snyder's Upcoming Reshoots Could Add
Zack Snyder is reassembling Justice League's cast, but what new scenes could he add?
Earlier this week, it was confirmed that Zack Snyder is planning to bring together Justice League cast members like Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, and Ray Fisher for reshoots. Despite it initially being reported that the only work that would be done on "The Snyder Cut" would be in post-production, the budget has now increased to $70 million to accommodate a week of additional photography.
Now, the director's cut of Justice League has gone from being a finished version of the movie Snyder originally delivered to Warner Bros. to a whole new beast (which might explain why it's being presented as a four-part limited series).
That's generated an awful lot of discussion online, with some film fans wondering whether it's really worth spending all that money on a project which has already been released in theaters, albeit in a very different way. However, arguably more interesting that the moral implications of "The Snyder Cut" is what these newly filmed scenes could entail.
It's clear that Snyder has big plans for his version of Justice League, and with no sequel on the horizon, he could be using this HBO Max release to tell a shortened version of the story he always had in mind for the DC Extended Universe. That's undeniably exciting, and these scenes would be epic to see...
10. Green Lantern's Warning
For the longest time, it was rumoured that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice would end with a Green Lantern crashing to Earth to warn the heroes that Darkseid, who had presumably decimated Oa, was on his way to their planet.
That obviously didn't happen, but Zack Snyder has teased the Green Lantern Corps in those flashbacks to Uxas and Steppenwolf's first attack on Earth.
It would make sense for him to do something with a Green Lantern in "The Snyder Cut," even if it is as simple as the sequence described above. There have, of course, been some hard to believe rumours about Ryan Reynolds reprising the role, but that would almost feel like too much of a jumping the shark moment to work at this point.
An alien Green Lantern warning the League - or even being killed by Darkseid - would be a nice nod to the comic books, and the ring zipping off to find a new Lantern for Sector 2814 could effectively set the stage for either one of the Green Lantern projects Warner Bros. has in the works right bow.
