History Trivia / ZackSnydersJusticeLeague

* ActorInspiredElement: Even before there was a script, Creator/RayFisher was given the opportunity to come up with elements of Victor Stone/Cyborg by himself.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: Some media outlets pretending this is an "extended version" of ''Film/{{Justice League|2017}}'', or others unironically hoping that the CGI work needed to conceal Creator/HenryCavill's mustache will be better this time around. The film will be completely different minus a few shots common to both, Snyder is planning to work using his own footage where Cavill had no mustache at all and not the theatrical cut -- the Creator/JossWhedon reshoots are the ones that had that infamous botched CGI face.

* TroubledProduction: See the ''Trivia/{{Justice League|2017}}'' Trivia page for the theatrical version's troubles. By all accounts, the [[Script/JusticeLeague2017 original script]] was heavily modified before shooting to account for the response to ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice''. Principal photography actually went smoothly, they even managed a one-day break to make a Comic-Con appearance. Things started compounding once Snyder decided to leave, the theatrical version became a [[ExecutiveMeddling mashup of a dozen ideas and studio notes]] of how to hammer the movie into something that pleased everyone (and it eventually didn't). Snyder admitted he took all the footage he filmed and early cuts home with him out of habit, but it was highly unlikely Warner Brothers would bother working on a director's cut. The home video release only had a couple of inoffensive {{deleted scene}}s and they avoided talking about what actually happened for years, moving on with the following films. It wasn't until the [=#ReleaseTheSnyderCut=] campaign made enough noise, partnered by a large number of people associated with the film including some of the lead actors and Snyder himself as well as [=AT&T=] executives seeing potential buzzy content for Creator/HBOMax, that some talks began on how to finish it up in early 2020. The film still needs some work to be completed, and it's especially difficult to do so amidst the [[UsefulNotes/CoronavirusDisease2019Pandemic COVID-19 pandemic]] (among other things, [[Creator/{{WETA}} WETA Digital]] was unable to work on it, Creator/ZoicStudios were hired instead), hence the release in 2021 only.

* DarkhorseCasting: For the voice of ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}, Creator/ZackSnyder chose to cast Ray Porter, a little known audiobook reader and BitCharacter actor who appeared in the likes of ''Film/AlmostFamous'' and ''Film/{{Argo}}''.

* TroubledProduction: See also the trivia page for Trivia/JusticeLeague2017. By all accounts, the original script was heavily modified before shooting to account for the response to Batman v Superman, and Snyder's involvement was apparently very tenuous before the decision was made to move forward.

* DarkhorseCasting: For the voice of ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}, Creator/ZackSnyder chose to cast Ray Porter, a little known audiobook reader and BitCharacter actor.

* TeasingCreator: Since about early 2018, Snyder teased his version of the film with screenshots, behind-the-scenes photos and storyboards on the only social media he uses, Vero. All were in black and white.

* SendingStuffToSaveTheShow: A fan campaign arose in November 2017, with the goal of having Snyder's original version released. Following the example of Creator/RichardDonner's cut of ''Film/SupermanII'', numerous letters were sent at Warner Bros. Along this, there were phone calls and various actions such as fundraisers and advertisement campaigns with 50% of the proceeds going to the [[UsefulNotes/SuicidePrevention American Foundation for Suicide Prevention]] that Snyder supports since the death of his daughter Autumn, and campaigns at the San Diego Comic Cons of 2018 and 2019. Further fundraising was even used to bring the campaign to [[UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity Times Square]] billboards. It ended up a success when ''Zack Snyder's Justice League'' was eventually announced for release in 2021.

** Both this film and the MCU's ''Eternals'' will come out in 2021 and feature an immortal cosmic race created by Creator/JackKirby -- the ComicBook/NewGods and the Eternals respectively.

* DuelingWorks: If no more delays are involved, then two films starring Franchise/{{Batman}} will come out in 2021 -- this film and the Batman-centric film of Creator/MattReeves, essentially the previous Batman (Creator/BenAffleck) against the new (Creator/RobertPattinson).
