Among memes, aggressive messages and a remarkable burden of toxicity, some self -proclaimed defenders of the legacy of Snyder have launched “strategies” to boycott the premiere of the film.
The director Zack Snyderdespite an irregular career within the genre, he left a deep mark on a good part of the fans of the universe of DC movies. A very concrete part has turned the hashtag #Restorethesnyerverse into a personal crusade. The objective is now clear: boycott Supermanthe first film of the new universe that James Gunnhas started building in DC Studios.
Among memes, aggressive messages and a remarkable burden of toxicity, some self -proclaimed defenders of the legacy of Snyder have launched “strategies” to boycott the premiere of the film. A film that, due to its high budget and Warner’s great bet, is played at the box office. The measures of this group range from the classic review bombing to disseminate spoilers to right and sinister or block seats without paying the entrance to empty the rooms. Desperate measures that touch the patest.
James Gunn’s response to Superman’s boycott
James Gunn has responded with his usual mixture of sarcasm and confidence, making it clear that he does not care. “I think we will survive,” he said, before adding with some broadcast: “I am not sure that the eight people who follow this type (I will assume that it is a guy) have a real impact on what will happen,” says the filmmaker.

Snyder was in charge of opening the DC cinematographic universe in 2013 with The steel mana film that divided the public but gave Henry Cavill An iconic role. Three years later I would arrive Batman V Superman: The Dawn of Justicemore ambitious but even more polarizing.
When Snyder prepared to complete his vision with the Justice League, a personal tragedy forced him to depart from the project. The film, completed by Joss Whedonit was received as a failure on all fronts. That turn fueled the #ReleasethesnyDercut movement, a phenomenon that years later achieved its goal with the premiere in 2021 of a new four -hour version: Zack Snyder’s Justice League. It was the last great act of a stage that, with the arrival of Gunn and Peter Safranit was completely dismantled.
The new DCU has opted for a total break. Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot and the rest of the main cast have been out of the board. James Gunn now, with a new Wonder Woman project and thinking of making his own Batman version, prepares for the future.
