Vuoden 2017 versio Justice Leaguesta ei ollut alkuperäisen ohjaajan, Zack Snyderin, käsialaa, vaan työn loppuun saattamisesta vastasi Joss Whedon. Nyt kun se niin sanottu Snyder Cut Justice Leaguesta on saatu katsottavaksi HBO Nordicille peräti neljän tunnin mitassaan, ovat tekijät alkaneet avautua projektin monivuotisesta taipaleesta enemmänkin.
Ohjaaja Joss Whedonin sanotaan muun muassa kulissien takana haukkuneen Wonder Womanin näyttelijää Gal Gadotia. Nyt sitten Screen Rant kertoo käsikirjoittaja Chris Terrion avautuneen ihan tosissaan. Hänen mukaan Joss Whedonin versio Justice Leaguesta oli suoranaista vandalismia. Terrionin mukaan kukaan projektissa mukana ollut ei pitänyt saadusta lopputuloksesta.
"The 2017 theatrical cut was an act of vandalism. Zack may be too much of a gentleman to say that, but I'm not. When those personal touches were removed from the film in the 2017 version, I was silent because I couldn't really say anything, but of course it hurt. All that remained was a dinosaur skeleton of what had been a great, lumbering beast. It might've been a big, unruly beast, and obviously it's four hours and the movie is maximalist and it's operatic and, sure, it's a little crazy, but I think the movie is crazy in the best way. I didn't realize how much of the film was going to be changed—or vandalized, in my opinion. It became clear as I spoke to various actors that it was a wholesale dismantling of what had been there before. I did not hear from anyone who said it was a pleasant experience."
