Snyder Cut: Henry Cavill Isn't Shooting More Superman Footage After All

Zack Snyder's cut of Justice League, formerly known as the Snyder Cut, now called Justice League: The Director's Cut, has been a point of speculation for fans for years. And now that it is heading towards an official release as a four-part mini series on HBO Max in 2021, the air of mystery around the production has only become more intense.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Snyder planned on shooting additional footage with key cast members in early October. The call sheet notably included Ray Fisher, who is currently embroiled in a public controversy with Warner Bros. over the handling of the original production, specifically the alleged abusive and unprofessional treatment of director Joss Whedon who was called in to finish the film. Along with Fisher were Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, and Ben Affleck.

Now, however, it would seem Cavill is not intending to shoot more footage for the new cut after all. In an interview with Collider, Cavill said that he is "not shooting anything additional." And that his part in the film is "all stuff that has already been done."

Cavill went on to explain: "Obviously I don't know how things are going to evolve and change and adapt depending on now a different length of movie and whatever may happen in post-production. Whatever lessons may be learned from what is it four years since Justice League came out? Four years' worth of fan reaction. For me…I’m now just watching the party."

Justice League: The Director's Cut is scheduled to air on HBO Max some time in 2021.
