The anticipation surrounding

Zack Snyder’s Justice League

is now sky-high, especially after

the reveal of the film’s release date

this March on HBO Max. In the past months, Snyder

has been consistent in terms of providing numerous teases

about his director’s cut, and it’s good to know that it’s only a matter of time before viewers will get the chance to witness this highly-talked-about project.

The visionary director

confirmed that his

Justice League

will be released

as a

“one-shot”

instead of the original plan of showcasing it as a mini-series. This means that the experience will be lengthy due to the previously-rumored four-hour runtime, but it’s safe to say that it will be worthwhile for anyone who waited for a long time to see what the buzz is about.

It’s no secret that

Zack Snyder’s Justice League

will be far different from its theatrical counterpart from 2017, and this is one of the main reasons why fans are eager for the cut’s release. Now, a new tidbit was uncovered from the Snyder Cut’s official release announcement, and this could provide clues on how the narrative of the film will be a one-of-a-kind affair.

AN ADDITIONAL JUSTICE LEAGUE WRITER

The

official press release

for

Zack Snyder’s Justice League

has revealed a new writer with a story credit in the form of Will Beall. The inclusion of Beall is a significant one since he scripted an early draft of

Justice League

from 2011, way before Snyder’s involvement with the project.

The aforementioned script was previously uncovered by

The Wrap

, and it showed multiple elements that resemble Snyder’s Knightmare sequence such as Darkseid invading Earth alongside a brainwashed Superman, a future Batman leading the resistance, and a future version of Lex Luthor helping Barry Allen travel back in time to warn the others in the past.

This was pointed out by Reddit user

A KNIGHTMARE-FOCUSED THIRD ACT?

With so much focus on the Knightmare timeline, this begs the question if

Zack Snyder’s Justice League

will do a deep dive into the famous sequence even more so this time around. The inclusion of Beall to an already-stacked (and powerful) writing crew of

Justice League

definitely adds more intrigue, making everyone curious if some plot points from his 2011 draft were implemented in Snyder’s version.

While it’s likely that the Knightmare sequence was partly inspired by Beall’s script, there is still a lot of unknown moving parts about the aforementioned segment. Given that it’s relatively unknown how Snyder will expand the post-apocalyptic timeline, several key elements from Beall’s script could very well end up on-screen, and there’s solid proof of that.

Late last year, Snyder assembled some cast members of

Justice League

for additional re-shoots. Jared Leto’s involvement essentially confirmed that the re-shoots were mainly done due to the Knightmare timeline, meaning that the sequence was re-imagined in more ways than one.

This is pure speculation at this point, but the possibilities are endless. If anything, it will be interesting to find out once

Zack Snyder’s Justice League

arrives in two months.
