After years of anticipation and fan-led campaigns, Zack Snyder’s Justice League is finally set to premiere on HBO Max. The thrilling DC superhero flick is arriving three and half years after the Joss Whedon-completed version landed in theaters, and premieres as an HBO Max exclusive.
Snyder had directed the majority of Justice League before he left during postproduction following the sudden death of his daughter. Fans have since demanded, via a grassroots movement, the “Snyder Cut” version of the film, which will now finally see the light of day on HBO Max. If you want to watch the new 2021 Justice League movie online, we’ve rounded up the best ways to see it.

Zack Snyder’s Justice League Spoilers, Rating, What to Expect
Zack Snyder’s Justice League has a run time of 242 minutes (around 4 hours) and is rated R. The newest cut of 2017’s Justice League, “In Zack Snyder’s Justice League, determined to ensure Superman’s (Henry Cavill) ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) aligns forces with Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions,” HBO Max said of the film.
“The task proves more difficult than Bruce imagined, as each of the recruits must face the demons of their own pasts to transcend that which has held them back, allowing them to come together, finally forming an unprecedented league of heroes. Now united, Batman (Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and The Flash (Ezra Miller) may be too late to save the planet from Steppenwolf, DeSaad and Darkseid and their dreadful intentions.”
Zack Snyder’s Justice League will be one of the only Warner Bros. films to be released on HBO Max without a theatrical release. Warner Bros. has announced, however, that its entire slate of tentpole 2021 films will debut on the streaming service on the same day the movie hits theaters.
