Inspired by the latestJustice Leaguetrailer, a fan-created two-minute video imagines a universe where Zack Snyder directedThe Avengers.The clip mimics the DCEU filmmaker’s style while incorporating footage fromAvengers: Infinity WarandEndgame.
Snyder developed a passionate fan base following his 2006 fantasy war-film300and 2009’sWatchmen. The director then teamed up with Warner Bros. to kick-start the DCEU. He madeMan of SteelandBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,and notably walked away fromJustice Leaguemid-production to be with his family. Unlike the MCU, Snyder’s films were dark and had little-to-no humor in them.

YouTuber “Gugga Leunnam” perfectly mined the look and feel of a typical Snyder film in a video titled “Zack Snyder’s Avengers,” using monochromatic and muted tones. The edit features the same dramatic score featuredin theJustice Leaguetrailerand action sequences from the latest MCU films. It provides a perfect glimpse of what a Snyder version of theAvengerswould look like, which probably would not have been as colorful as the real Marvel Studios version, considering the filmmaker’s common style.
Snyder hascandidly spoken about Marvelin the past. Last summer, he told TheFilmJunkee that he thinks MCU’s single continuity format will never work in the DCEU. “I think that Marvel, they’ve built [their universe] over a long period of time, so by the time they got to their later movies, everything had kinda locked in, and it was all sort of moving in the same direction,” said Snyder. “But that was just never going to happen [with DC] because the DC TV shows were so popular and because their animated shows were so popular.”
The filmmaker recently stated Warner Bros. “no interest or appetite” in hisJustice League 2and doesn’t plan on making more DC films after the Snyder Cut, though the black and white version of hisJustice League,Justice Is Gray,is going to be released.This came after DC Films president Walter Hamada confirmed that Snyder wasn’t part of the franchise’s future. Warner Bros. has invested over $70 million to let Snyder finish his version ofJustice League.
Meanwhile, the MCU continues with many of its mainAvengerscharacters, including Iron Man and Captain America, having retired or died afterEndgame. However, fans are speculating that Marvel Studios islaying the groundwork for the Young Avengersto form in future films.
The Avengersfilms are now available on Disney Plus.
