The Snyder Cut has officially been released, and the internet is ablaze with opinions on the four-hour HBO Max exclusive.
Zack Snyder’s Justice League
in many ways feels like a setup for more
Justice League
films that will probably never come out. In light of that, director Zack Snyder shared what theoretical sequels would’ve delved into.
One major element to the second or third
Justice League
films would’ve included the New Gods
. Specifically, Snyder said that
“the third movie is a New Gods invasion movie really, in a lot of ways.”

This quote raised a lot of curiosity about the
Ava DuVernay
The
New Gods
film that has been reportedly in the works since 2018
. DuVernay
confirmed
that she is still working on the project in December 2020:
This surreal year has given us time to dig in even more. Enjoying going even deeper into the mind and musings of Jack Kirby with @TomKingTK. https://t.co/fT1eZDdYgj
After Snyder’s comments, fans are wondering if
The New Gods
connect to the Snyder Cut. The answer has just been teased.
NEW GOD’S CONNECTION
In a recent tweet
reply
,
The New Gods
writer Tom King sent a winking gif in response to a fan’s
question
of
“if Ava’s New Gods might pick up some of where ZSJL left off.”

The interaction began with a fan responding to a
tweet
from producer Mike Avila:
I personally am wondering if Ava’s New Gods might pick up some of where ZSJL left off, but maybe just focus on New Genesis and Apokolips.
Then, Avila got Tom King involved, responding,
“I’m sure
@TomKingTK
would be happy to fill in those details for us. Right, Tom??”
interesting! I dig that. I’m sure @TomKingTK would be happy to fill in those details for us. Right, Tom??
King then
responded
to Avila with a gif of Joey from
Friends
winking.

A SNYDER CUT CONTINUATION?
Even though this may not be how Snyder originally envisioned the story of the New Gods to play out, DuVernay’s upcoming project could continue along with his story. Of course, members of the New Gods such as Darkseid, Desaad, and Steppenwolf were introduced in
Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
Whether
The New Gods
film will use Snyder’s rendition of the characters is still unclear, but King certainly didn’t deny it with his gif response.
Zack Snyder’s Justice League
After an overall positive reception to
Zack Snyder’s Justice League
,
many fans would certainly rejoice in seeing these versions of Darkseid and Desaad return to
The New Gods.
Despite this lack of clarity, back in July 2020, Darkseid actor Ray Porter gave his blessing to DuVernay in a tweet (that has since been deleted) saying she can
“cast whoever she wants”
as Darkseid. DuVernay
responded
,
“A gentleman and true artist. Thank you, sir.”

Any official news on this project has been bleak, but hopefully, fans will be given real updates on casting and a production timetable.
For now, viewers can watch Porter portray Darkseid in
Zack Snyder’s Justice League
, now streaming on HBO Max.
