Breaking Down the 'Justice League' Sizzle Reel Celebrating the UK Wrap-up

To celebrate completing principle photography on Justice League, director Zack Snyder released a Justice League sizzle reel on his Twitter account!

The video begins with the voice over of Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) from the first trailer searching for Aquaman (Jason Momoa). Then, the reel goes right into some behind-the-scenes footage of Snyder directing all the heroes we know and love. It’s filled with awesome shots of the cast training…

We’re here to help!

Since some people complained Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was too dark and dour, it seems like Snyder and co. listened. Gone are Batman and Superman silently brooding. Now, we see Affleck, Henry Cavill (Superman), Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Jason Momoa (Aquaman), Ray Fisher (Cyborg) and Ezra Miller (the Flash) smiling and looking like they are having fun. This may be PR damage control after the mixed reception to BVS, but it’s good to see Snyder and the studio are listening to fan’s opinions and taking them into effect.

Overall, I have a strong feeling Justice League will be better received than both Man of Steel and BVS. The footage seems lighter in tone, but retains Snyder’s signature visual look of muted colors and cool cinematography.

Wonder Woman, starring Gadot and directed by Patty Jenkins, hits theaters June 2nd, 2017.

Justice League will be released November 17th, 2017.
