When Zack Snyder left Justice League last year, It was reported that Zack Snyder left Justice League to deal with the personal matters after the death of his daughter. While the death of his daughter was tragic, I always felt that there was more to this story. Fast forward a year and new reports say that the director was fired from the project before that situation developed. Snyder originally stated,
“In my mind, I thought it was a cathartic thing to go back to work, to just bury myself and see if that was way through it,” The demands of this job are pretty intense. It is all consuming. And in the last two months I’ve come to the realization … I’ve decided to take a step back from the movie to be with my family, be with my kids, who really need me. They are all having a hard time. I’m having a hard time.”
However, Veteran entertainment reporter Josh Dickey who is planning on leaving the entertainment industry, has claimed that Snyder didn’t leave the project voluntarily, but was instead fired from the film.

This news does not seem shocking with the direction the DCEU was going with Snyder at the helm.
