HBO Max might be taking the #ReleasetheSnyderCut campaign a bit too literally. On Monday, the WarnerMedia-owned streaming service accidentally released Zack Snyder’s Justice League, known by fans as the “Snyder cut,” 10 days early — and via Warner Bros. flick Tom & Jerry. We have a mouse problem!
Yesterday, HBO Max users began reporting that when they played Warner Bros. flick Tom & Jerry, they were instead shown Zack Snyder’s Justice League, a four-hour-long cut of the 2017 DC Comics film. A user named Doug Bass told Variety that he was “just looking for some background TV while I worked, and when I clicked on Tom and Jerry, [the] Snyder Cut started playing.”
Bass, a realtor and digital marketing analyst based in Charlotte, said that he watched about an hour of the film before the video quality worsened, and shortly after, an error message popped up and the film disappeared.
He also posted a photo of the film, but it was removed after WarnerMedia reported the tweet. Still, said Bass, fans will be impressed with the extended Justice League cut. “The CGI finally rivals that of Marvel and you’re gonna love it. That’s all I’m saying. No spoilers,” he tweeted. “Get excited.”
Late Monday, an HBO Max spokesperson confirmed that the new film mistakenly appeared on the service earlier that day. “Zack Snyder’s Justice League was temporarily available on HBO Max, and the error was addressed within minutes,” the spokesperson told TVLine.
As the statement makes clear, HBO Max’s Zack Snyder’s Justice League is no longer available to stream on the service (via Tom & Jerry or otherwise). Unless something else wonky happens over at WarnerMedia, fans will have to wait until next Thursday, March 18 to stream the four-hour-long film, which cost a reported $70 million to re-edit. The hefty price tag reflects Warner’s decision to reshoot full scenes of the 2017 film with the original cast, including Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, and Jared Leto as the Joker.
Zack Snyder’s Justice League hits HBO Max — for real — on March 18.
