When it came out in 2017, the original got almost universally bad reviews.

Now three of its biggest stars have joined calls for director Zack Snyder's edit to be shown the light of day.

Justice League was supposed to be DC Comics' answer to Marvel's The Avengers - a way to bring the franchise's biggest names together in one movie.

But it was hit by big problems.

Its original director, Zack Snyder, had a family tragedy and had to drop out in post-production.

The film was then taken on by Joss Whedon.

When it was released it was hardly a critical success - ending up with a woeful 40% on the website which pulls together critical reviews, Rotten Tomatoes.
