Since Zack Snyder exited Justice League during the post-production stage and the theatrical version of the film debuted to disappointing results, the filmmaker has taken to Vero to shed new light on his original vision. Now, Zack Snyder’s latest posts offer new insight on a previously revealed deleted Justice League scene in which Wonder Woman decapitated Steppenwolf that also involved Darkseid.

As Zack Snyder explained, Wonder Woman delivered the following line before killing Steppenwolf, “I Stand for truth and love… but those who wish to destroy truth and love I will strike down with a furious vengeance.” In his response to a question from a Justice League fan about the Wonder Woman scene, Zack Snyder also revealed that Steppenwolf’s head was then going to roll towards Darkseid only to be crushed by the villainous New God.

Darkseid was originally intended to play a larger role in Zack Snyder’s Justice League and subsequent DC Extended Universe. However, after Zack Snyder exited the project, Joss Whedon assumed directorial duties during post-production and oversaw extensive reshoots for Justice League that resulted in Darkseid being removed from the theatrical cut. After Justice League opened to underwhelming reviews and underperformed at the box office gross, Warner Bros. reassessed their plans for future DCEU films and Zack Snyder’s five-film arc involving Darkseid was jettisoned.

Here is the official synopsis for Zack Snyder’s Justice League:

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

Directed by Zack Snyder, Justice League stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa, Ray Fisher, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Connie Nielsen, J. K. Simmons, and Ciarán Hinds.

Justice League is now available on Blu-Ray, DVD, and Digital HD.
