The single biggest message that seems to have come out of the cast talking to Empire is that while Zack Snyder handed control of Justice League over to Joss Whedon, he didn't hand him licence to completely change his vision.

By the sound of it, the cast have all been primed to remind us that this is firmly still Snyder's movie.

Ben Affleck said the following:

"I didn't sense that we were moving towards something that felt like The Avengers. Joss is more than just an Avengers director. He's a good storyteller, full stop. In mid-stream, Joss got on and part of what interested him was the puzzle aspect of it, fitting in pieces that weren't there yet. He put the rest of the pieces in and gave it his own imprimatur. Joss came in and walked a very fine line between Zack's sensibility, tone, and direction. We found a really fun and inspiring synthesis of their two forms of storytelling. I was so glad everyone showed up to work for Zack."

While Gal Gadot was even blunter:

"This is Zack Snyder's movie. Joss only did a few weeks of reshoots. He was Zack's guy and knew exactly what he wanted to get... He has a beautiful vision."

And Ezra Miller revealed how the cast found out about Snyder leaving:

"It's a heroic act at its root. He called each and every one of us and took the time to explain something that defies, in many ways, explanation. He told us exactly how it was going to go down, which was true to course. He fascinates and amazes and staggers me. Zack Snyder, ultimate [frick]ing legend. Forever."

And finally, jason Momoa also echoed the kinship the cast seem to feel to Snyder: "I [frick]ing love Zack, man. I'd do anything for him."
