Fans will be getting a new version of the 2017 Justice League film soon

Zack Snyder was the original director for DC's Justice League movie but was forced to step down from the job before it was completed.

Now, he has returned to deliver fans his vision of what he wanted the film to look like.

The latest trailer includes a number of new scenes which weren't included in the original version of the film, which came out in cinemas in 2017.

Snyder's version of Justice League - which will be shown in four hour-long episodes - will hit the streaming service HBO Max in 2021. But it doesn't currently have a launch date in the UK.
