Snyder was trying to do a ton of world-building with Justice League, most of which ended up on the cutting room floor.
After years of campaigning and crowdfunding, The Snyder Cut of Justice League is finally becoming a reality.
This includes the introduction of Darkseid, and now the actor who played Darkseid has spoken to what it was like playing the villain.
HBO Max is giving Zack Snyder millions to complete his original vision for the blockbuster, which ended up being severely altered after he departed the project due to a family tragedy.
