Zack Snyder’s ‘Justice League’ Reshoots Will Reportedly Cost Around $70 Million

Zack Snyder’s Justice League reshoots are expected to happen next month for a week or two, though it appears that not everyone on the superhero will need to come back. The initial report indicated that Snyder would bring back Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Ray Fisher as Cyborg, which could be where a bulk of the cost is coming from. Though the latter is in a heated battle with Warner Bros. about how he was treated during the original reshoots with writer/director Joss Whedon, he’s happy to return for this version of Justice League so his character gets his due diligence.
The good news is that any new scenes with Henry Cavill as Superman probably won’t look as goofy as the reshoots done for the theatrical cut of Justice League. Cavill had a mustache grown for Mission: Impossible – Fallout that famously couldn’t be shaved off, and visual effects artists had to digitally erase it from scenes, making for a pretty weird looking upper lip on the Man of Steel. But Snyder has said he won’t be using a single frame of footage that Joss Whedon shot for Justice League, so it shouldn’t be a problem.
Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League is said to be a four-hour affair, and it’s slated to arrive on HBO Max sometime in 2021. Surely we’ll be hearing plenty more about this developing director’s cut, so stay tuned.
