Zack Snyder has revealed that he was aware of a Zack Snyder’s Justice League joke being included in Greta Gerwig‘s Barbie ahead of its release earlier this year.Speaking to Men’s Health Magazine to promote his upcoming sci-fi film Rebel Moon, Snyder shared that Warner Bros. executive Michael DeLuca had his wife and producer partner Deborah Snyder of the joke.The joke, told by a version of Barbie played by Alexandra Shipp, was used to to describe her time being under the patriarchy of Ryan Gosling‘s Ken: “It’s like I’ve been in a dream where I was really invested in the Zack Snyder Cut of Justice League.”“They gave us a heads-up,” Snyder said of the joke.

In a film about feminism and overall female empowerment, such as “Barbie,” it can’t feel good to have one joke aimed directly at you, seemingly used to sum up the current male-driven toxic fandom in film. Alas, that’s exactly what happened to Zack Snyder, who is mentioned in “Barbie” as a joke about Writer Barbie waking up from her misogynistic state.

Zack Snyder is sharing his thoughts on the Barbie joke about his cut of Justice League.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Zack Snyder knew he was going to be the butt of a “Barbie” joke well before the blockbuster comedy opened in theaters from Warner Bros. In a new interview with Men’s Health, the “Rebel Moon” director revealed Warner Bros.’ film co-chief Michael DeLuca informed his wife and producer partner Deborah Snyder earlier this year about the joke and the studio’s intention to keep it in the film’s final cut. The Snyder Cut joke in “Barbie” arrives during a critical moment in the film.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director The year is coming to end, but not without some major original films debuting on Netflix, Prime Video and more top streaming platforms. Whether it’s potential new holiday classics (Prime Video is launching the Eddie Murphy holiday comedy “Candy Cane Lane” this month) or potential new franchises (Zack Snyder returns to Netflix for the start of his space opera saga “Rebel Moon”), streaming is offering up a ton of original fare this month bolstered by star power such as Bradley Cooper, Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts and more.

It’s interesting to think of how cinema fans are often forced to pick sides. You’re either pro-cinema and on the side of folks like Christopher Nolan, or you’re maybe someone who likes major franchises and *gasp* comic book movies, so you’re on the side of Zack Snyder.

Though it’s clear that Zack Snyder’s filmmaking interests, as of late, have brought him to the stars for his “Rebel Moon” franchise, the man really did generate a cult-like following thanks to his DC superhero films. In fact, to this day, there is still a legion of devotees posting on social media, begging Warner Bros.

Then you can do your thing and we can have that as a separate piece of content.”Snyder went on to explain: “I’m super proud of the PG-13 version of the movie. I really am.
