Last month, fans of the DCEU were left stunned when news broke that Zack Snyder was stepping away from Justice League. The director made a formal announcement about his leave to The Hollywood Reporter, explaining that he needed to take time off to be with family following his daughter?s death. Warner Bros. confirmed that Joss Whedon would take up Justice League in his colleague?s absence, and fans have been left just how much influence the Avengers director will have over Justice League?s post-production. When it comes down to it, Whedon will not have room to change foundational parts of the DC blockbuster. Whedon?s influence won?t be substantial in terms of content, executives saying that Whedon's direction "has to adhere to the style and tone and the template that Zack set." The director was not brought into to alter the film?s narrative course. He was simply asked to fill in for Snyder?s post-production work after its scheduling was set in place.
