Netflix: One of the most controversial superhero movies will soon leave the platform

Who hasn’t dreamed of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman or even the Flash sharing the same feature film poster? Long fancied, the crossover project finally saw the light of day in 2017 with Justice League, which at the time was billed as the culmination of the DC Comics film franchise that had been kicked off by Man of Steel…but ended up symbolizing its decline at rival Marvel against!

After the mixed reactions he met with his Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Zack Snyder returned for this new superhero spectacle, but no longer enjoys the trust of the heads of the Warner Bros. studio, especially because his style was too dark. Due to family bereavement, the filmmaker eventually quit his duties mid-editing, replacing Joss Whedon, director of the first two Avengers, in the process.

While Snyder was rumored to be tasked with overseeing the film’s post-production, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator ended up directing new sequences that the studio requested for the sole purpose of injecting more humor into the feature film. Ultimately, this is a hybrid film born from the vision of two directors with radically different styles, which hits our screens on November 15, 2017. But Justice League is met with disastrous press and then box office. well Below expectations…

Although a new edit released in March 2021 finally fulfilled Zack Snyder’s original vision with a four-hour edit (titled Zack Snyder’s Justice League), adding an alternate ending sequence shot in full close-up, it is truly a “cinema”. The version of Justice League currently offered on Netflix.

Whether you’re one of the few fans of the Joss Whedon-led version, or you’ve never seen the film, don’t wait to see it (again), because Justice League will finally leave the Netflix catalog on July 14th! However, it will be available later on Prime Video, as the film will be available on the Amazon platform from the same day!
