Warner Bros. has released an official statement clarifying why the trailer for Zack Snyder’s Justice League was hidden from viewers on YouTube.
The outcry over the disappearance of the trailer for Zack Snyder’s Justice League from YouTube has prompted Warner Bros. to release an official response. Thankfully, there was no sinister motive behind the trailer’s apparent removal. Indeed, it has only been hidden from public viewing rather than being deleted outright.
Confusion started with a Twitter post by George_TeamLH, who called attention to the fact that the Zack Snyder’s Justice League trailer with 31 million views had been pulled offline. Thankfully, there is a logical explanation for why the trailer vanished from YouTube. Screen Rant has received confirmation from Warner Bros. Discovery that the Zack Snyder’s Justice League trailer has been set to Private due to a music licensing issue. Presumably, the trailer will be made public as soon as the music licensing issue is resolved, but there is no official word yet on when or if that will happen.
Will Zack Snyder’s Justice League 2 Ever Happen?
Despite Zack Snyder maintaining a vocal fan presence on the internet, the odds of Warner Bros. Discovery producing his proposed Justice League 2 are slim to none. Warner Bros. Discovery is too heavily invested in the plans for a new DCU, with pre-production having already begun on the first DCU film, Superman: Legacy, and David Corenswet cast as the new Superman. Even with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes having slowed these plans, Warner Bros. Discovery is unlikely to try and change course again. There is also the problem of whether Zack Snyder would even want to return to work for Warner Bros. Discovery to make another DCEU film.
Even if DC Studios is interested in making a sequel to Zack Snyder’s Justice League, Zack Snyder would have to be equally interested in producing and directing it. However, Snyder has moved on from the franchise, signing a multi-picture production deal with Netflix, which promised him more creative control than he had working at Warner Bros. Discovery. With Snyder currently occupied with completing his original science-fiction epic Rebel Moon and a spinoff television series based on his first Netflix film Army of the Dead, it could be years before Snyder can think of taking on a new movie, even if he wants to make Justice League 2.
