With a surprise appearance from Ben Affleck at Snydercon, The final day of the Full Circle Zack Snyder’s Justice League screening event received an exhilarating reception from Snyderverse fans. The audience who participated in the Q&A posed quite a few queries to the ZSJL guests, from quizzing the Rebel Moon filmmaker about his potential ideas for Justice League 2 to discussions related to Darkseid, the anti-life equation, and The Flash’s speed force.
A lucky few Snyderverse fans had the opportunity to experience Zack Snyder’s Justice League in IMAX at Universal City Walk earlier on Sunday, April 30. The screening was part of the 3-day event which had Zack organize a screening event of his DC Films namely Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
The last day of the Full Circle event had Ray Porter moderating the Q&A with other guests alongside Snyder such as ZSJL writer Chris Terrio, VFX supervisor DJ DesJardin, Cyborg actor Ray Fisher and The Batman himself, Ben Affleck. The crowd was pleasantly surprised and on their feet to witness Affleck’s appearance. The gathering was fortunately live-streamed on Vero True Social’s official website.
The event kicked off with Ray Porter addressing the questions from the Vero community. The first question quizzed the Snyderverse architect on the New Gods character he would have introduced in the Justice League movies if it had come to fruition. Zack Snyder confirmed there were ideas to introduce the Female Furies from the New Gods.
Chris Terrio says he would have fleshed out Darkseid’s anti-life equation arc if there was a Zack Snyder’s Justice League 2
Chris Terrio was also quick to offer his answer to the query too to address some of the chatter around the anti-life equation and how Darkseid ended up losing it. “We would have taken that up in the second episode. We would’ve understood some of the Apocolyptian betrayals” The ZSJL writer also stated if “ever a miracle happens and more of the story is made” the audience would get the full picture of the anti-life equation arc.

I said before the event that if Snyder had said he thinks it’s time to move on then I will too. But Snyder didn’t say that at Full Circle. In fact, he said the EXACT opposite! So I’m gonna keep pushing because Zack wants these movies made & so do I!#SellZSJLtoNetflix

DC fans say Gal Gadot is a bad actor and a terrible Wonder Woman but Academy Award winner Ben Affleck says auditioning with Gal is the only time in his career where he said it's obvious that this is the right person for the role. #FullCircle pic.twitter.com/fXUBeXuBoR

Zack and DJ say that WB execs didn't want the Flash turning back time sequence in ZSJL. They had to convince WB to keep it. #FullCircle pic.twitter.com/PtlveNoLmH

The loyalty Ben Affleck has to Zack Snyder for simply attending a Q&A session after a four-hour movie is insane to me.
They definitely want to finish this arc. #RestoreTheSnyderVerse

Sadly, the Justice League cut screened at the event did not include Wayne T. Carr‘s Green Lantern scene. However, Snyder praised Wayne’s John Stewart performance but revealed he had to return the footage back to Warner Bros though he holds out hope it gets to see the light someday.
At one point, the director also revealed The Flash going back in time sequence was not approved by WB execs and was allowed after Snyder convinced them to keep it. A recorded version of the Full Circle’s hour-long Q&A is available and can be found below.
There were no announcements related to a possible continuation of the Snyderverse at the Snydercon fest. Though Zack holds some optimism to say< “never say never”. Zack snyder’s justice league is available to stream on HBO Max.
