The full schedule for this year's Justice Con has been revealed, and it promises to be a must-see event for Zack Snyder fans. 2021 is shaping up to be a packed year for Snyder, with the streaming releases of two major movies. The first, Zack Snyder's Justice League, has been in the works for years now. After Snyder departed the production of the DCEU film, Warner Bros. brought in Joss Whedon to complete the film. However, Whedon changed much of what Snyder had planned, leading fans to campaign for the release of the original cut. At long last, the Snyder Cut of Justice League debuted on HBO Max last month.
Fast forward to next month, and Snyder's second film of the year, Army of the Dead, will roll out on Netflix. This movie has long been a passion project for Snyder. In combining a heist film with a zombie movie, Army of the Dead is poised to be far different from Justice League, yet will still surely contain the typical hallmarks of Snyder's filmmaking style. It stars Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Omari Hardwick, Matthias Schweighöfer, and Tig Notaro.
Last year saw the creation of Justice Con, a virtual fan convention dedicated to Snyder and his work. Now, with two major projects from the director releasing in swift succession, Justice Con is returning for 2021. The event will take place this upcoming weekend, April 16-18, and the full schedule was recently unveiled on social media. Justice Con 2021 kicks off Friday at 6am EDT with a day of fan-run workshops on all sorts of topics ranging from filmmaking to cosplay.
Saturday is dedicated to Zack Snyder's Justice League and starts at 10am EDT. Throughout the day, there will be special panels with those who worked on the film, including Ray Porter (Darkseid), Ray Fisher (Cyborg), Joe Manganiello (Deathstroke), and Harry Lennix (General Swanwick/Martian Manhunter). Snyder himself will be on hand to do a deep dive into Justice League at 7pm EDT. Justice Con 2021 concludes on Sunday with an Army of the Dead day, featuring panels from the actresses involved with the film, Deborah Snyder, Bautista, and another Snyder spotlight at 6:30pm EDT. Sunday's festivities begin at 11am EDT. All Justice Con panels will be available on YouTube.
As Snyder has two movies to discuss, Justice Con 2021 promises to feature plenty of exciting new tidbits about his work. On the Justice League side, fans will likely learn more about the details he interjected into his cut of the film, as well as the plans he once had for Justice League 2 and beyond. With Army of the Dead, Snyder might reveal more about the upcoming animated spin-off series and the prequel film, which stars and is directed by Schweighöfer. In short, if you're a Snyder fan, Justice Con is the place to be this weekend.
