Deadpool Creator Joins the Battle to Release Snyder Cut of Justice League
In the Tweet posted Monday afternoon, Liefeld wrote in response to a fan who had noticed his previous support for the “Release the Snyder Cut” movement that the solution to the entire situation is “so easy”.
“It’s so easy… give us the cut!!” Liefeld wrote.
Monday’s Tweet is just the latest time Liefeld has shown his support for the Snyder Cut. Earlier this month, Liefeld retweeted ComicBook.com’s own coverage of Crisis on Infinite Earths writer Jerry Ordway’s support of the Snyder Cut, weighing in himself that “everyone wants it released”.
Despite all of the support and efforts from fans, it currently doesn’t seem likely that Warner Bros. has any plans to release the Snyder Cut, meaning that the theatrical version will stand. After having directed Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Snyder was set to direct Justice League as well. However, while Man of Steel had been a success overall, Batman v Superman performed well at the box office but faced harsh critical reviews. As the darker tone Snyder had established for the DC Extended Universe began to fall flat with some audiences, there were rumors that Snyder was forced to leave Justice League, with Joss Whedon brought on to complete the film, including reshoots. Even with Whedon’s contributions, Snyder retains the sole director’s credit on the film.
