While fans have been desperate for more details on Zack Snyder’s cut of the DC film, Joss Whedon’s Justice League script treatment on the film has been revealed.

After the recent flurry of news surrounding Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League, details on Joss Whedon’s approach to the script for the DC film have surfaced online. After Zack Snyder left Justice League due to a family tragedy, Warner Bros. approached director Joss Whedon to finish the project. Initially this began with a rewritten script with some characters receiving bumped up roles to help build familiarity from previous films, while others were cut completely.

An article from the New York Times examining the recent deluge of support for Zack Snyder’s Justice League cut revealed that director Joss Whedon added in 80 new pages to the script during reshoots of the film. Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, Amy Adams’ Lois Lane and Diane Lane’s Martha Kent were all given expanded roles while Joss Whedon completely removed Barry Allen’s love interest played by Kiersey Clemons. There was also an additional subplot involving The Flash and Cyborg that was removed, with director Joss Whedon choosing to add more comedy across the film. Fans are still desperate to discover what Zack Snyder’s Justice League cut would have looked like and with the near constant news currently arriving about the project, it may only be a waiting game at this point.
