'Aquaman' star Jason Momoa says he's seen the elusive Zack Snyder cut of 'Justice League' and that it's 'sick'

Warner Bros. and DC did not respond to a request for comment.

“I wouldn’t be here today, in my career, if it wasn’t for him, because he made Aquaman,” Momoa said in the video, Snyder by his side.

Snyder left “Justice League” late into production after a family tragedy, and “Avengers” director Joss Whedon stepped in for extensive reshoots. Fans of Snyder and his previous DC Extended Universe movies, “Man of Steel” and “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” have advocated in various ways for Snyder’s original vision to be released.

After Warner Bros. announced that Ann Sarnoff would be its new CEO, fans quickly pleaded on Twitter for her to take action. “Snyder Cut” enthusiasts are also planning a letter-writing campaign directed at Sarnoff.

Fans bombarded San Diego Comic-Con in July with “Release the Snyder Cut” advertisements. They raised over $26,000 through GoFundMe in order to do so, half of which will go to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. They’re planning the same for next month’s New York Comic-Con.

“Justice League” was a major misfire, receiving a 40% on Rotten Tomatoes and underperforming at the box office. Warner Bros.’ DC Comics movies have rebounded since then, though, with “Aquaman” (which made over $1 billion worldwide) and “Shazam!,” which was a critical hit. The next release, “Joker,” is projected to be a box-office success, as well.
