A few days ago saw Zack and Deborah Sndyer step down from the Justice League movie following the death of their daughter, with Joss Whedon coming on board to lend a hand.
While at the premiere for Wonder Woman, Justice League producer Charles Roven touches upon both Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon, and reiterates what was already known in that Joss Whedon was already working on the Justice League movie, as Zack Snyder brought Whedon on to do rewrites, but now it’s learned Whedon has already been working on scenes as well.
Below you can watch the video with Charles Roven. Here’s the text:
“Well, I think you’ve seen some things out there, right?” Roven responded when asked if he could tease Justice League. “We’re excited about the film. Of course, we were saddened by the events that caused Zack Snyder and Deborah Snyder to have to leave and turn the reins over to Joss Whedon,” Roven continued. “He was already working with us on some of the scenes for the additional photography that we’re gonna be doing shortly, and it was fortunate that Zack convinced him, and he agreed to step in and finish the movie, help Zack finish his vision, and we’re excited about that.”
