Back in May of last year it was announced that Zack Snyder had decided to step down from as director of Justice League owing to the tragic suicide of his daughter, with Warner Bros. enlisting Joss Whedon to come in and complete the DC superhero blockbuster.
Well, if a new report from Mashable editor Josh L. Dickey is to be believed, it seems that Snyder had already been relieved Snyder of his DC Films duties prior to this official exit, with Dickey claiming that Snyder was actually fired from the DCEU a little over a year ago. At present, there’s nothing in the way of evidence to support these claims, and as such, they should be treated as a rumour.

Since his exit from Justice League, there has been a lot of fan support for Warner Bros. to release a ‘Director’s Cut’ of the superhero blockbuster, and conflicting reports as to whether a Snyder cut of the movie even exists. Snyder is also yet to announce his next project, but it is expected that he will remain listed as an executive producer on the likes of Aquaman and Wonder Woman 2.
