About Justice League (film) in brief
Justice League is a 2017 American superhero film based on the DC Comics superhero team of the same name. It is the fifth installment in the DC Extended Universe and a follow-up to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The film was directed by Zack Snyder and written by Chris Terrio and Joss Whedon who served as co-director. It features an ensemble cast that includes Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa, Ray Fisher, Amy Adams, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Connie Nielsen, J. K. Simmons, and Ciarán Hinds. It premiered in Beijing on October 26, 2017, and was released in the United States in 4DX, RealD 3D, and IMAX 3D on November 17, 2017. It grossed over USD 657 million worldwide against a break-even point of USD 750 million, becoming a box-office bomb and losing Warner Bros. Pictures an estimated USD 60 million. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the action sequences and performances but criticized the plot, writing, score, pacing, villain, and computer-generated imagery. In May 2020, Snyder announced that his cut would release on HBO Max as Zack Snyder’s Justice League in 2021. The sequel was indefinitely delayed to accommodate the production of a standalone Batman film starring Affleck. It was initially titled Justice League Part One, with a second film intended to follow in 2019. In the film, Batman and Wonder Woman recruit The Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg after Superman’s death to save the world from the catastrophic threat of Steppenwolf and his army of Parademons.
After the film’s release, fans began to push for the release of Snyder’s original version of the film in October 2014, with Snyder on board to direct and Terrio attached to write the script. After Snyder stepped down from the film following the death of his daughter, Whedon was hired to oversee the remainder of post-production, including writing and directing additional scenes. The original Justice League film was set to be released in 2009 but production was halted by the 2007-08 Writers Guild of America strike. The project was cancelled following production delays and budgetary concerns despite the principal roles having been already cast. It has since been re-entered into development as part of Warner Bros’ upcoming DC film slate in October 2012. The second film was originally intended to be release in 2019 but was postponed due to production delays. The third film was initially intended to release in October 2013. However, the sequel was postponed again due to production delays and budgetary concerns. The fourth film, Justice League: Mortal, was released on October 25, 2014. It starred Ben Affrell, Jason Motheroa, EzraMiller, and Amy Adams. The fifth film is expected to be called Justice League 2 and will be released on November 21, 2015. It will be the first Justice League movie to feature a female lead.
