Zack Snyder Tapped For Justice League Film

Warner Bros president of worldwide production Greg Silverman told the Wall Street Journal that Zack Snyder will helm DC Entertainment's long planned Justice League movie.


Man of Steel Sequel stars  Henry Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent, Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman and "Fast Five" star Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman are expected to reprise these roles for the film.

It will be a further expansion of this [DC Cinematic Universe],” Silverman said. “Superman vs. Batman will lead into Justice League.”

Just last week we learned that Ray Fisher is about set for the role of Cyborg in MOS 2

The star of The CW's popular Arrow TV series Stephen Amell wants his Oliver Queen/Green Arrow
in on the action... The Flash (Grant Gustin) is getting his own show in 2014. We don't know if they will make the big screen leap

Heat Vision says a release date has not been set, but it could potentially hit a year after MOS 2 which is set to be theaters on May 6th 2016. The movies will be shot back-to-back. Warner Bros. declined comment on release plans.

The studio has tried to launch a JL movie twice:

In 2007 casting of George Miller's "Justice League Mortal" movie was nearly complete before that project was nixed.

The suits scraped Will Beale's script which was said to take its cues from the storyline by Gerry Conway from Justice League Of America 183-185. that sees Darkseid, the oppressive god ruler of the war planet Apokolips, planning the destruction of Earth by blasting it with a weapon that moves Apokolips into Earth’s place.The storyline has the Justice League teaming up with the  Justice Society of America.
