Warner Bros. Pictures co-CEO’s Micheal De Luca and Pamela Abdy had wanted to do another Justice League film with actors Zack Snyder cast. However, after the new bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran took over the studio, the work with Snyder’s case may no longer seem to be the plan, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

“In fact, the current leadership team at Warner Bros Pictures — Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy — did desire one more go-around of the Snyderverse heroes,” the source said, according to the report. “Possibly even having another Justice League movie with those actors. But that was before Gunn and Safran began formulating their new (and still in flux) plan.”
