New Look at DC Villain Darkseid in HBO Max’s Upcoming ‘Justice League: The Snyder Cut’ [Image]
Announced last week, Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. are currently hard at work on the “Snyder Cut” of Justice League, with tens of millions of dollars being dedicated to allowing Snyder to reconstruct the 2017 movie into his original vision. The “Snyder Cut” is said to be quite a bit different and a whole lot darker, with Darkseid notably featured in the movie.
Ray Porter plays the DC super-villain in scenes from the film that never ended up in the theatrical cut, and Snyder has taken to Twitter today to share a new look at his Darkseid!
Check out the image below, which Snyder had shared a black & white version of last year.
HBO Max’s Bob Greenblatt provided some insight into the “Snyder Cut” this week, suggesting it’s going to cost more than $30 million to create it and get it out into the world.
He explained, “It isn’t as easy as going into the vault and there’s a Snyder Cut sitting there to put out. It does not exist. Zack is actually building it, and it’s complex, including new VFX shots. It’s a radical rethinking of that movie and it’s complicated and wildly expensive. I’ll just say I wish it was just $30 million and stop there. It’s an enormous undertaking and very complex.”
The “Snyder Cut” is coming to HBO Max in 2021.

Before updating the video nasty Faces of Death, director Daniel Goldhaber and writer Isa Mazzei explored the dangers of online life in tech-thriller Cam, their feature debut that was acquired by Netflix in 2018 after making waves on the festival circuit.
At the end of last year, the Netflix exclusive quietly departed from the streaming platform, left without another streaming home.
It’s not an isolated story; Mike Flanagan’s Hush also left streaming entirely for a period until it was finally picked up on both physical media and other streaming services.
While the tech-thriller currently isn’t available to watch on Netflix, Tubi, Hulu, or any other platforms, that’s not a problem for Cam thanks to a very cool move by Goldhaber: the director has made his breakout film accessible to watch online for free via his website.
As his site notes: “CAM is unfortunately not currently available to view on any platforms, so you can watch it here if you like :).“
No subscriptions or fees necessary, just hit play.
Cam follows Alice (Madeline Brewer), who works as an online cam girl obsessed with her ranking on the cam site. The higher her ranking goes, the more it draws unwanted attention, and Alice soon finds herself replaced on her own show with a doppelganger.
Written by Mazzei, a former camgirl, it uses the horror thriller premise to examine the life of a sex worker; Alice’s career ambition is directly at odds with the shame it brings to her family, and how she tries to spare them from it by keeping them in the dark. It only compounds her danger when the doppelganger enters the equation in Goldhaber’s engaging thriller.
For a deep dive into the treacherous world of Cam, listen to Horror Queers’ episode on it now.
