Zack Snyder has confirmed that his extended cut of Justice League will receive a theatrical release. The 242-minute version of the DC superhero ensemble, which first debuted on streaming in March 2021, will soon be available for fans to experience on the big screen.
This upcoming release marks the first wide theatrical run for Snyder’s cut, following limited IMAX screenings in previous years. The director announced the news on social media, telling fans to “stay tuned for a date,” though specific details remain undisclosed.
The four-hour runtime and adult rating may present challenges for a wide release. However, this theatrical run fulfills a long-standing demand from fans who have campaigned to see Snyder’s uncompromised vision in cinemas.
Snyder’s cut received positive reviews upon its streaming premiere, with critics praising its darker tone and more cohesive narrative compared to the 2017 theatrical version.
The upcoming release gives moviegoers a chance to experience this acclaimed version of the film in theaters, three years after its initial debut.
