Whether you’re interested in seeing the Snyder Cut released or not, talk surrounding the version of Justice League that better reflects director Zack Snyder’s original vision hasn’t died down in the last two years. In fact, it’s gained a number of high profiles supporters, including Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa. As a new show of support for the Snyder Cut, the actor has posted this picture of Aquaman stabbing Steppenwolf, Justice League’s main antagonist, with his trident.
Usually we count on getting looks at the Snyder Cut from Zack Snyder himself, like when he shared a photo earlier today of Barry Allen and Iris West in a deleted Justice League scene. But this time around, Jason Momoa is responsible, taking to Instagram to show Aquaman dealing a major blow to Steppenwolf as Wonder Woman watches from afar. Surely enough Snyder Cut peeks have been released over the last two years to warrant putting together a scrapbook, right?
Although Aquaman and Steppenwolf did come to blows in Justice League’s final battle, Arthur Curry never went so far as to impale the Apokoliptan general with his Atlantean weapon. At first glance, it looks like Aquaman could be killing Steppenwolf, and if that’d been the case, he probably would have had to find a safe house or a relative close by to lay low for a while.
However, back in July, Zack Snyder shared some photos revealing that in his version of Justice League, Wonder Woman would have killed Steppenwolf, saying he uses “Gods to kill Gods.” So while Aquaman’s trident attack surely injured Steppenwolf, it was Diana of Themyscira would have brought an end to the alien invader set on using the three Mother Boxes to conquer Earth.
