Big names from both superhero tentpoles, Marvel and DC, have paid respects to director Zack Snyder, who recently announced that he is stepping down from the upcoming Justice League film to focus on his family.
Following the suicide of his 20-year-old daughter Autumn Snyder back in March, Snyder has pulled out from the DCEU, with Avengers’ Joss Whedon taking the reigns. Following the announcement, a number of Snyder’s DC colleagues and friends, including Geoff Johns, Patty Jenkins and James Wan, have taken to Twitter and Facebook to pay their respects.
My heart breaks for Zack and Deb. Condolences to their family.
