Over a week ago, fans who have been campaigning for Warner Bros. to release Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League were given a glimmer of hope after several stars of the film expressed support for the cause on social media. The sudden surge in support from key people involved with Justice League had some fans speculating that Warner Bros. might be preparing to release the Zack Snyder cut on the upcoming streaming service, HBO Max.
However, Variety reports Warner Bros. is not interested in investing the millions required to complete the visual effects and editing on Zack Snyder’s Justice League cut, especially considering the theatrical version disappointed at the box office.

“That’s a pipe dream. There’s no way it’s ever happening.”
HBO Max is developing multiple DC projects, including a Green Lantern show, a Strange Adventures anthology series, and a DC Super Hero High show from Elizabeth Banks.
