Zack Snyder's Justice League is coming to HBO Max next March, and the footage Joss Whedon left on the cutting room floor will finally be shown off to the world. That includes more footage of the Amazons on Themyscira when Steppenwolf heads to the island in search of their Mother Box.

During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Connie Nielsen (who recently returned as Hippolyta in Wonder Woman 1984) shared her excitement to see "The Snyder Cut" of the movie.

"Zack had already called me to ask if I would be okay with a reissue of the film with changes," she says, reflecting on how she first leaned about Snyder's plans. "And I asked him, “Well, will you bring back the Amazon chapter the way you had written it and had filmed it?” And he said, “Absolutely.” And then I said, “And Zack, will you also bring back my quite incredible stunt, running up the walls?” And he said, “You got it.” (Laughs.) So I said, “Yeah, definitely. You’ve got my blessing. Absolutely."

Asked if she returned for any additional work on Justice League, Nielsen added: "No, I think we did all of our stuff. What was really sad was how much stuff we filmed that wasn’t in the film. And I think that’s part of what made Justice League (2017) less cohesive as a viewing experience. The intent was not the same during the editing as it was during shooting."

The actress went on to confirm that she also had no involvement in Joss Whedon's reshoots. "I don’t think that other director was that interested in the Amazons. I would have to assume that."

Nielsen is clearly supportive of Snyder's Justice League vision, and not a fan of what Whedon did when he was tasked with finishing off the movie. How much more screentime the Amazons receive in "The Snyder Cut" remains to be seen, but Hippolyta will clearly be seeing a bit more action.

More action scenes. Cool that she did stuff herself, but considering this is a 4 hour cut of a Zack Snyder movie, yeah they were probably going to be included either way. His movies are 90% action 5% slow motion and 5% dialogue.

Let Zackery Levi, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa and James Gunn run their course with their specific franchise. They have been the only good thing to come out of the DCEU.

For everything else


Stand alone series, or set in the world of The Batman, either way ill be happy.
Jeff Nichols would be perfect to reboot Superman, he was offered Aquaman, but he turned it down because he would have been restricted by the already established world

@dracula - I agree with you on Mamoa and Levi but Gadot absolutely sucks. Not an ounce of acting ability in her body

@dracula - well, at 4 hrs Zack now has enough time to show a slow motion rape of Batman to prove that gritty works and people desire it.

Will they still have Snyder's sexier and less practical armors?

So ... Much.. butthurt..

Honestly you Snyder haters make more noise for the movement than the fans.

And as a fan I'd like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart, for making the Snyder cut possible :)

Connie Nielsen referred to Joss Whedon as “that other director.” Ouch. How the mighty have fallen!

‘that other director’

Ouch, looks like no one really had much love for Whedon.
