Famed director Kevin Smith confirmed to ComicBook.com that he would be bringing the Justice League Snyder Cut to theaters. On his Fatman Beyond podcast, Smith confirmed that Smodcastle Cinemas will be screening Zack Snyder’s Justice League sometime in 2023.
“Zack Snyder is coming in the new year, and he was like, ‘I’ve never shown Justice League in a theater once,’ so I was like ’brother, bring it!,’” said Kevin Smith.
It’s not just a typical fan screening, as there is also a planned Q and A portion with Zack Snyder himself. Snyder will be joined by Avengers: Endgame directors Anthony and Joe Russo, appealing to both Marvel and DC fans alike.
