When Justice League was officially announced, we learned that it would be a story arc that would be spread across two separate films. We’ve now learned that the movie Zack Snyder is currently working on is a single complete standalone project.
During an interview with Empire, producer Deborah Snyder interestingly says that the plan was always only going to be one Justice League film.
She explains:
“We were only ever planning, and we are only doing, Justice League.”
There was then the follow-up question, “So, no part two then?'” to which Snyder answered, “No.” This is so weird because Justice League: Part One and Justice League: Part Two were both announced and given release dates of November 2017 and June 2019.
To make things even more confusing, Zack Snyder seems to contradict that, saying that there will still be another Justice League movie in 2019? Will it be another standalone Justice League movie with a different title?
Maybe everyone should get on the same page as to what they are planning. Perhaps we are to assume that we will be getting a second Justice League, and what that film will involve is a complete mystery.
The most likely answer is that Warner Bros. has changed the game plan. One thing I hope isn’t happening is that they have condensed the full story arc of these two films into one single movie, because that could turn out to be a complete mess.
