“Justice League by Zack Snyder” accidentally leaked on HBO Max on Monday, 10 days before the film’s official launch on the streaming platform.
The DC rated minors movie was shown in place of the family rated minors movie “Tom and Jerry” due to a flaw that the streamer said was quickly corrected. “Zack Snyder’s Justice League was temporarily available on HBO Max and the error was corrected in minutes,” according to a WarnerMedia spokesman.
A Twitter user said he tried to access “Tom and Jerry” on the HBO Max home screen and instead obtained Snyder’s anxiously awaited version of the 2017 Justice League movie – a subject of much speculation since the new shoot by Joss Whedon. the edited version originally appeared in theaters after Snyder dropped out at the end of production.

The individual added: “They found and cut the feed, but I can say that the first hour or more of Snyder’s cut is the best DC film I have ever seen.”

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

“Justice League by Zack Snyder” is rated R for violence and some language, so viewers who expected something for the family like “Tom and Jerry” received a surprise movie with R instead.
In an interview with IGN last week, Snyder mentioned that along with his director’s version, “Justice League” will have a special black and white edition that he calls “Justice Is Gray” when it is released on March 18.
He also said that during reshoots of his version of the film, he took a new shot at a 1.43: 1 ratio and reformatted the film to the same proportion to fit the Imax screens in the hope that as soon as the pandemic of COVID-19 finish, fans can get the chance to see the movie on the largest screen possible.
“For me, the final version is the black and white IMAX version,” said Snyder.
