Warner Bros. Openly trolls Zack Snyder fans, is SnyderVerse dead?

That the leadership Warner Bros. Pictures opposed the release “Justice League Zach Snyder“(Zack Snyder’s Justice League) has been known for a long time. And the new act of the studio only proves it.

Unsuccessful trolling

April 28 on the official YouTube channel Warner Bros. 4K Trailer Appeared “Justice league“(Justice league) Joss Whedon… In response, viewers drowned the video in dislikes (at the time of writing the news, there were only 947 likes under the video with 9.1 thousand dislikes). Many thought the trailer was a bad joke, and the comments keep repeating the same thing – #RestoreTheSnyderVerse

According to reports WarnerMedia and analyst data, on the platform HBO Max “Justice League Zach Snyder” lost in movie views “Godzilla vs. Kong“(Godzilla vs. Kong) and “Mortal Kombat“(Mortal Kombat)… However, with its main task, the film Zach Snyder coped by pulling the attention of the audience away from the exclusive Disney +Falcon and the Winter Soldier“(The Falcon and the Winter Soldier). The tape has also performed well in other markets, including Russia and Canada.

But WarnerMedia’s attempt to accelerate its streaming audience growth through a stream of theatrical releases is a failure. Total number of subscribers HBO increased over the quarter by just 2.7 million households, but only a third of the total audience activated their HBO Max subscription.

Is SnyderVese Dead?

As the editor-in-chief notes Small Screen Edward Lauder, Warner Bros. seriously battered due to the pandemic. The studio had high hopes for 2023, but releases had to be postponed due to theater closings. And in 2023, she receives less money due to the fact that the coronavirus has not gone anywhere. And due to the simultaneous release on the unprofitable HBO Max platform, part of the potential income is immediately consumed.

Zack Snyder’s films aren’t cheap, and Warner Bros. believes that the project “Justice League” with all the alterations cost the studio approximately $ 450 million.

According to Lauder’s sources, led by DC Films put it in due time Walter Hamadoo, in order to economize. At the same time, most of the work on the DC MCU is supposedly planned to be outsourced to the director’s company. J.J. Abrams Bad Robot, which will follow the formula Marvel

In particular, the focus will be on little-known comic book characters: Zatanna, Blue Beetle, black superman etc. The main project for Abrams remains “Dark Justice League“(Justice league dark).

“Money is a huge problem for Warner Bros. and DC Films. HBO is also involved. They feel disadvantaged,” the insider explained.

About death SnyderVerse says the writer Grace Randolph… Many of her insiders have not been confirmed over the past couple of years, but the blogger has also leaked the truth about Zach Snyder’s Justice League.

For top executives at Warner Bros. The conflict around Snyder has become very personal, so they will never give the green light to new projects for the director. Her information is consistent with Lauder’s.

Whedon’s trap

Warner Bros. calls Whedon’s Justice League canon, preparing to erase the remnants SnyderVerse in the movie “Flash“(The flash). But at the same time, it fell into a PR trap.

If you don’t know, Joss Whedon ended up on the Hollywood “blacklist” amid accusations of abuse, harassment and racism by the performer of the Cyborg role Ray Fisher and the cast of the series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer“(Buffy the vampire slayer). HBO executives also forced the director to step down as showrunner for The Incredibles (The nevers). Rumored to be the company Disney also allegedly not going to cooperate with Whedon in the event of a possible reboot of the series “Glowworm“(Firefly).

Therefore, the publication of the trailer for his “Justice League” was a spit not only towards Snyder’s fans, but also the victims of the abuse. A real PR disaster.

Note that Zack Snyder himself never saw the end result of the experiments of Whedon and the crowd managers of Warner Bros. over his brainchild. The director was not allowed by his wife and colleague. Christopher Nolan

Now Snyder is preparing for the premiere of the film “Army of the Dead“(Army of the dead), which will take place in May at Netflix… According to insiders, the streaming service is interested in further cooperation with the director and turning his project into a major franchise.
