Henry Cavill Explains Why He Doesn't Think A JUSTICE LEAGUE Snyder Cut Will "Make Any Difference"

In a new interview, Mission: Impossible - Fallout star Henry Cavill weighs in on why he doesn't think a Snyder Cut of Justice League is necessary and believes it won't make a difference at this stage...

Nearly all of Henry Cavill's scenes as Superman in Justice League were reshot by Joss Whedon so if anyone knows about the "Snyder Cut," it's him. However, it doesn't sound like the actor is overly keen on seeing that become a reality for a number of reasons. For starters, he doesn't see the point and secondly, Cavill seems perfectly content with where the theatrical version left his Man of Steel. 

"I don’t know if [a Snyder cut] actually exists so the only way I can look at it is as a business model, and I don’t know what difference it’s going to make," the actor revealed during a recent interview to promote the release of new movie Mission: Impossible - Fallout. "There are stories to be told, which need to be told and adjustments that can be made, but that’s not going to make any difference."
 
"I think it might be entertaining, for sure, and go, ‘Oh look, now I’ve scratched that itch,’ but it’s not going to change anything that I can think of, it’s not going to make huge amounts of money all of a sudden for a studio," he continued, pointing out something which many fans are reluctant to accept. At best, the Justice League "Snyder Cut" would be released digitally or on the DC Universe app. 

Even those options wouldn't make it worth the studio's while to finish off all those special effects and piece the movie together and Cavill pointed out how unlikely it would be for Justice League to return to theaters. "They’re not going to release it into cinemas and so they’re not going to suddenly make an extra few hundred million. So it would be interesting to see what the difference is, but I’d rather focus on the future rather than what’s been." Do you agree with the Superman's actor's remarks?

@AndrewHolland - it's common sense actually. It's just that the ones pining for a Snyder cut are below average intelligence wise, so Cahill seems like a hawkings

@Vigor - hey! they aren't all below average... maybe just a little too passionate.

That being said I don't like their tastes though.

@Vigor - I have seen sociological concepts (anomie, cognitive dissonance, etc.) used in “Man of Steel” and “Batman v Superman”. I have seen parallels to revenge tragedies, like “Hamlet and “The Spanish Tragedy” in “Batman v Superman”. The structure of Superman's arc is very similar to classic Bildungsromans such a “Great Expectations” and “Jane Eyre”. I have also seen parallels to “It's A Wonderful Life” with a villain manipulating events to convince the hero, who stands in the way of what he wants, that the world would be better off without him. There are multiple other essays that cite Greek and French philosophers and their connections to these films, as well as the myriad of comics that inspired both films, and “Wonder Woman”, as well as the stories that inspired the comics that inspired the films. Finally, the films in and of themselves contain messages of the rewards of pursuing your goals and doing what's right, the harmful effects of rage, the value of forgiveness, redemption and the true value of hope. They are stories that show the world for the dark distrustful violent selfish world it is, and how these heroes overcome that darkness to see the world for the safer, more optimistic and better world it can be.

We don't want the Snyder Cut because we just want to see more explosions and darkness. For most of us, action scenes are low on our priority list when watching these films and it wasn't about “liking dark things because they are cool”. It's the real world applications to what the heroes experience and how they learn to overcome that and find hope, teaching us how to do the same, that we wanted to see in “Justice League” and it was all thrown away in favor of a cookie cutter story by a studio that threw away dirty gold for clean tin foil.

#ReleasetheSnyderCut is about completing Snyder's vision of hope rising in a world that seems devoid of it, and Clark completing his journey from a boy who wants to use his abilities to help others and be a hero to the world that his mother was to him then becoming a man who saves lives, to be reborn as a hero who changes lives. We want to see that story properly concluded. That's all.

@SisterSunday52 - Man of Steel and Batman v Superman did indeed have all that you mentioned. They did not do them well though. You don't get someone like Snyder to tell those stories though.

@MarvelDCAllDay - @ExpertlyMediocr - outside of his superman appearances and that one suspect article from last week, he seems like a charming dude whenever he shows up.

If you haven't yet, go watch Man From Uncle. It's typical fare from the director, but really highlights why Cavill's gotten so far in his career in a way that the DC films just haven't done, and without a huge course correction in the vein of the Flash race, probably won't happen.

After I saw that movie, I understood why someone would cast him as Superman... but not as a brooding super - emo.

@Mattygrand - Yeah I was just making an exaggerated generalization.
I found it to be a mildly entertaining bad movie, much like Suicide Squad and X-Men: Apocalypse.
