‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ accidentally leaked to HBO Max on Monday, 10 days before the film’s official release on the streaming platform.
The DC-rated R-movie starred in the PG-rated family movie “Tom and Jerry” due to a bug that was quickly corrected, according to the streamer. “Zack Snyder’s Justice League was temporarily available on HBO Max and the bug was fixed within minutes,” a WarnerMedia spokesman said.
A Twitter user said he tried to access “Tom and Jerry” on the HBO Max home screen and instead got the eagerly awaited Snyder clip from the 2017 movie “Justice League” – the subject of much speculation since Joss Whedon’s re-shot and re-edited version originally appeared in theaters after Snyder retired towards the end of production.

The individual added: “They figured it out and cut the feed, but I can say that the first hour of the Snyder cut is the best DC movie I’ve ever seen.”

It was not an isolated incident, as Ryan Parker of The Hollywood Reporter was also able to play the film.

“Zack Snyder’s Justice League” is rated R for violence and language use, and viewers who expect family rates like “Tom and Jerry” got a hard R movie instead.
Snyder mentioned in an interview with IGN last week that ‘Justice League’ with its director will receive a special black-and-white amendment he calls ‘Justice Is Gray’ when it is released on March 18.
He also said that during the revision of his version of the film he shot new footage in a 1.43: 1 ratio and reformatted the film to the same ratio to fit the Imax screens in the hope that once the COVID -19 pandemic ends, fans can get. a chance to see the movie on the biggest screen possible.
“To me, the ultimate version is the black-and-white IMAX version,” Snyder said.
