WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
Before anyone panics about Zack Snyder’s cut Defenders of justice since they are being cancelled, remember that they have already invested over $70 million in the project. That’s not to mention all the attention it got at DC FanDome, as Snyder’s cut had its own panel. It’s also equally unlikely that this has anything to do with Ray Fisher or his grievances with the executives and production at Warner Bros. under Joss Whedon.
Plus teaser trailers and sneak peeks from Zack Snyder Defenders of justice are still available on many Warner Bros. social media pages, so they’re definitely not canceling it. No, it’s likely that Warner Bros. change something in the entire trailer, which is why the YouTube video was set to private and not removed. The best theory about what Warner Bros. is changing in the trailer is the Warner Max logo that appears in it, which was recently announced to be retired.
Fans should stay calm until Warner Bros. will issue an official statement or, more likely, that the trailer will be released publicly again in the coming days with minor changes.
