DC FanDome 2020 | Snyder Cut of 'Justice League': New teaser puts Darkseid front and center, fans are thrilled
The new teaser for the Snyder Cut of 'Justice League' has just released and fans are going wild. Containing several never-before scenes, including the first shot of Irist West (Kiersy Clemons), more shots of the black-suited Superman (Henry Cavill) and a shot of Desaad, the one thing that's got the fans pumped more than anything else is the very first shot of the trailer, featuring the villain everyone's been waiting to see - Darkseid himself.
The teaser opened with a shot of Darkseid, giving him more focus than the theatrical cut did. The theatrical cut, in fact, did not show Darkseid at all, only hinted at his appearance, teasing him for future films as his lieutenants attacked the Justice League. In the teaser, however, Darkseid is the very first image seen and the teaser closes with the League talking about how no matter how powerful Darkseid may be, as a united team they stand no chance of losing. You can watch the official teaser here:

One fan felt like the teaser completely vindicated Zack Snyder, "AYO ONLY ZACK SNYDER COULD COME FROM THE LOWEST OF THE LOWS AND START HIS JL TRAILER WITH DARKSEID"

During the panel, Snyder also officially confirmed that the film would be a lot longer than the theatrical cut - four hours long, to be precise. HBO Max will release the film as four hour-length episodes, with the option to watch all four together as a single movie. He also reassured his international fans, promising them that a distribution plan was in place to get the film to those countries who do not have access to HBO Max.
'The Snyder Cut' will release on HBO Max in 2021.
