A former Justice League movie writer reveals an influence for his early version of the script for the big DCEU film. James Gunn's upcoming DC Universe is set to debut on screens this year, with the new franchise to officially replace the DCEU movie timeline. As the DCEU came to an end in 2023, it marked the conclusion of a complicated superhero journey for Warner Bros. Discovery, following numerous regime changes and creative differences over many projects.
Various creatives were involved with the initial Justice League script. One of them was Will Beall, who ended up working on Aquaman, while also having been attached to Justice League. In a new interview with The Wrap, Beall opened up about his experience handling the script for the team's first ensemble movie, revealing Back to the Future Part II was a massive influence on the Justice League's overall story and what made into Zack Snyder's finalized version that got its release on HBO Max (now known as Max) in 2021, sharing the following:
I wouldn’t call my experience dysfunctional. I can only speak about my experience … I didn’t have a dysfunctional experience on ‘Aquaman.’ I had a great experience working on ‘Aquaman.’ I love working with James Wan. I loved working with Geoff Johns, and I had a great time working on that movie. I did a very early draft of ‘Justice League.’ Some of it found its way into the Snyder cut. I was delighted that I could help. The biggest difference with mine, I think, was that much of the second act was that little sort of coda that was on the Snyder cut, where it’s this post-apocalyptic sort of dream sequence or flash forward, and there’s good guys and bad guys, they’re forced to team up. Much of my second act was taken up with that. My version of it owed a lot to Back to the Future II. I’m proud of the script that I wrote and I’m happy that it helped. I feel like I did my job. So your first job as a writer, working with any of these things is to is to be a good steward. Right, it’s sort of to ‘do no harm’, And so you have to respect the fans and you have to respect the characters and and what makes them great, and not try to outsmart it.
