Joss Whedon will finish the Justice League movie, still on track for a November release There’s an unfortunately tragic update today on the status of the Justice League movie as The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Joss Whedon has come aboard to finish the Warner Bros. Pictures DC Comics adaptation. While the thought of the same man who first assembled Marvel‘s Avengers on the big screen doing the same for the Distinguished Competition may seem like potentially exciting news, it arrives marred by a personal tragedy for director Zack Snyder and his wife, producer Debra Snyder. Two months ago, the Snyders lost their daughter, Autumn, to suicide. “In my mind, I thought it was a cathartic thing to go back to work, to just bury myself and see if that was way through it,” Zack Snyder tells the trade.
