With the commotion surrounding Justice League and its alterations made by Joss Whedon before the movie’s premiere in theaters, Warner Bros. has to deal with the leaked deleted scenes from Zack Snyder’s production.
The scenes feature Cyborg and were posted to Vimeo and range from omissions to being mundane.
None of the clips have audio, so it is impossible to tell if there is any relevant dialogue that may have altered the movie’s story. There is CGI in every scene, showing how the post-production work was done in the movie.
The first clip shows the League after they have gathered at the hangar for the Flying Fox, where Cyborg then recreates a setting in Nazi Germany. A human version of Victor Stone walks through the simulation, and this indicates that he is exploring the memory in search of something.
The second one gives a brief glimpse of how Cyborg processes the information at overwhelming speeds and shows him take in various sources of data and communications.
The third scene features him on a Metropolis rooftop as he attempts to figure out the jet propulsion system. After getting a hang of it, he looks to the sky and takes off, offering an extended look at a clip that was featured in trailers but did not make the movie.
The fourth scene features Victor Stone as a human, but with a mastery over technology. Missiles hover over him like they are about to impact right where he is standing. But he waves his hand and sets them aside.
The fifth one shows Cyborg turning toward the camera, and he nods.
Number six shows Kiersey Clemons as Iris West that had been shown in the trailers. When Iris is going to meet her fate as her convertible crashes into a truck, Barry breaks through and rescues her. They cut Clemons’ role out, so we do not know how much of a role she had in the movie.
The seventh scene features a Parademon surveilling Cyborg’s apartment while he hides and is ready for battle if he is discovered.
The final scene is an extended version of Martha Kent arriving at her farm to see her son.
While some of the scenes do not add much, it is clear that they cut out significant portions of Flash and Cyborg’s arcs.
It is unclear if the scenes were worked on by the effects team, except for the Cyborg flying sequence and the scene where Flash breaks through the glass. But if they get finished, Warner Bros. may release the extended cut as they did for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad.
Justice League is now in theaters.
