Former Justice League composer says, “you haven’t made it in Hollywood until you get replaced”

June 15, 2017 by Luke Owen

It was announced yesterday that Danny Elfman would be replacing Junkie XL on Justice League, as Joss Whedon takes over the movie’s reshoots in London. It comes off the back of rumours that Whedon’s reshoots are larger than the “standard pickups” Warner Bros. said they were, suggesting the film will be completely different to how it is now when it’s released in November.

Taking to Twitter, Junkie XL – who worked with Zack Snyder on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – said, “You haven’t made it in Hollywood as a composer until you get replaced on a project.” He adds: “It pains me to leave the project, but a big thanks to Zack for asking me to be part of his vision, and I wish Danny [Elfman], Joss [Whedon] and Warner Bros all the best with Justice League.”

Those with tinfoil hats could see this as further proof that Whedon is taking over more of Justice League than originally reported when Snyder left due to a family tragedy.

Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
