Chris Wong joins the show to discuss his experience as a panelist at Justice Con. He talks about a wide variety of topics related to Zack Snyder’s Justice League and latest inside rumors and info that is happening now and in the future on this Road to DC Fandome. Join this fun and informative conversation.
– Chris Wong-Swenson’s Ping Pong Flix Show is a YouTube Journalist discussing up to date DC Movie news, DC films, DC Animation and DC Comics Entertainment. He started creating videos when he made a review of Batman v Superman
– Justice Con 2020 is a two-day virtual convention held by the fans and for the fans to celebrate Zack Snyder’s Justice League finally getting into green light after two and a half years of the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut fan movement.
– The convention was hosted by The Nerd Queens and ComicBook Debate’s own Megan Danielle. It also featured an impressive collection of panelists, including Cyborg actor, Ray Fisher, producer Deborah Snyder, and the man behind the Snyder cut himself, Zack Snyder.
– Outside of the cast and crew from Justice League, Justice Con also invited Sheraz Farooqi, Sean O’Connell, Jonita Davis, and Chris Wong as panelists about the diversity in Zack Snyder’s films and fandom.
– The long-awaited release of the Snyder Cut is to set to drop on HBO Max in 2021 and this final cut of the film will represent a much more diverse movie than its original incarnation, Justice League. It will reveal a much more diverse cast than was seen in the version Whedon finalized in 2017. Snyder is the only credited director on the Justice League 2017 superhero film, but he left during post-production to grieve for a family tragedy, leading to “Avengers” director Joss Whedon stepping in and finishing the material which was radically different from Snyder’s initial vision.
– The Marvel blueprint wasn’t Zack Snyder’s idea. He always tried to create an enclosed thing. His original plan for his Justice League movies involved a five movie arc and story. His plan was to follow the story of Superman. Snyder didn’t want Justice League released as soon as it was his plan to follow the story of Superman. But Warner Bros execs wanted to get the Justice League team out there as soon as possible. He was rushed into that by Warner Bros and their ploy to catch up with Marvel’s Shared Universe.
– In Justice Con Panel, Snyder referred to Justice League version that’s coming to HBO Max as an “Elseworld” Justice League. It means it doesn’t have to be part of the DCEU thread anymore. In DC Comics, the Elseworld label was created in DC Comics to tell stories that used iconic DC Characters but didn’t have to follow existing canon. Snyder is free to shape his story into whatever fits what he wants to tell now.
– The Suicide Squad 2 is happening with a largely new cast and Guardians of the Galaxy’s James Gunn taking over David Ayer as director, The Suicide Squad is one of the most anticipated movies of 2021.
– Chris Wong’s excited and looking forward to the releases of Snyder’s Cut, Suicide Squad, Black Adam (although they haven’t started with production) but he is curious about the whole cast of the movie, Superman with Black Adam vs Superman fight, Batman with Robert Pattinson, The Flash, and two secret movie projects that have not yet been announced to the public.
– The endless possibilities of Justice League Dark meeting the Justice League is very exciting. JJ Abram’s Justice League Dark is entering the DC Universe and produces a new DC Superhero television series that can be streamed exclusively on HBO Max.
– With all this different multiverse and stuff, imagine down the line, they do an actual big budget crisis event. When you talk multiverse, what’s the next step of multiverse at the end? It’s Crisis. It’s the Avengers’ Endgame. It will put Endgame out of the water.
