Zack Snyder Is Open To The Idea Of Continuing His Justice League Trilogy With Animated Movies

Continuing the Snyderverse at this stage of the game when James Gunn and Peter Safran through DC Studios are closing in on the endzone with their vision, hoping they won’t fumble. However, there might be a way to finish the story without overwriting Gunn’s DCU or breaking the bank.

Zack Snyder recently showed that he was warm to the idea of restoring his continuity in animated form. When he was interviewed by Empire Magazine (via Screen Rant), he said, “Yeah, absolutely. That’d be fun. That’d be cool,” at the prospect.
It might not be the same as seeing everyone reunited on a set, but Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, and Gal Gadot particularly reprising their respective parts behind a microphone is preferable to a graphic novel or standard novelization. Every detail of the gritty spectacle Snyder is famous for can be there on screen in living color – or grayish tones.
Ray Fisher and Ezra Miller might be too much for some – in the fandom and in Warner Bros. offices – to stomach so it’s possible that they could be done with DC for good and would sit the revival out. But nothing is set in stone if anything’s even being discussed.
As an Elseworld project, Justice League Part 2 and 3 wouldn’t interfere with Gunn’s plans so they’d fit just fine among the other Elseworld films the creative head of DC said were in active development.

If the continuations are to have a future, the question remains as to where they or the ultimate project could wind up. Maybe it becomes a miniseries or takes the form of a regular show with seasons and episode counts. Either way, the potential continuation of Zack Snyder’s Justice League could end up on Max or maybe it drops on Netflix.
The campaign urging the sale of the Snyderverse to Netflix is still out there, regardless of its hopes or how such a deal can be struck. As quizzical a reaction as it would get from the average onlooker, the movement has some legs with WB partnering with streamers to make money off their catalog.
Their agreements with TUBI and others including Netflix have also given homes to series in limbo such as Batman: Caped Crusader, which is just one animated Batman project that’s renting space at Amazon. And like the saying goes, there’s always room for one more – and perhaps more than that.
