A couple of days ago we brought you some comments from Zack Snyder about March’s hugely-anticipated Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice [see here], and now the director has been talking to 411 Mania about expanding the DC Extended Universe and building towards Justice League with the upcoming ensemble.
“I want to — we’re working toward Justice League, and I really want to create the — part of the thing I really want to create is the possibility of a world where they could exist together,” states Snyder. “I think up to this point, it’s been difficult to suggest a world where Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman and others could exist in the same universe. That was one of the things I really wanted to try and get at. Not to mention, the amazing opportunity to bring those characters and have those characters tell an important story, their own story, within the confines of a film.”
Meanwhile, asked when we might get another glimpse of Batman v Superman following July’s Comic-Con trailer, Snyder responded that: “I think we’ve got to have a new trailer soon.”
