Supporters of Zack Snyder's Cut of Justice League raise over $150,000 for suicide prevention

There was much talk when filmmaker Zack Snyder stepped away from

Justice League

after the tragic loss of his daughter. In March 2017, his daughter committed suicide, which led him to take a break from work and the film. He had said that he decided to take a step back from the movie to be with his family and children, who needed him. Many portions of the

film

were reshot by director Joss Whedon in Snyder’s absence, due to which the final product was said to be a lot different from the way it was intended to be. Now, the campaign for Snyder’s cut of Justice League has raised over $150,000 for suicide prevention for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). The money was raised through various means, ranging from T-shirt sales to matching funds raised for endeavours aimed at raising awareness for the Snyder Cut itself.

The filmmaker himself has been part some of the charitable drives. These include the release of a Justice League T-shirt last year, which offered a cryptic blueprint of his five-movie arc for the DC Extended Universe, which raised over $85,000. Buzz is, Synder plans to release another shirt and hoodie for the charity work. This time around the apparel would rebrand the Snyder Cut as Zack Snyder's Justice League. The design includes emblems of all the core heroes seen in Justice League, along with Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter.

Fans’ interest has been piqued further after

Hollywood

actor Jason Momoa confirmed that he has seen Snyder's cut. The films' two stars, Gal Gadot and Ben Affleck, took to social media to tweet the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut hashtag, and supporting the release of the cut. More details are awaited, but it sure has resulted in a sizeable contribution towards suicide prevention.
