Justice League 2 could see Andy Muschietti as director
There have been discussions about Warner Bros. Discovery and DC Studios looking for a director for the two projects whose predecessors were originally directed by Zack Snyder. On the one hand, it would mark the end of an era for Snyder’s works, on the other hand, it could very easily call into question whether or not other directors would be able to match the themes that Snyder had built. An example of this had been the Joss Whedon takeover of 2017 Justice League, which had turned out to be a disaster for WBD.
While Andy Muschietti has had some impressive works so far, with It Chapter 1 and 2; which left fans wanting more of what the horror movie director could show. His upcoming project had to undergo major reshoots due to multiple controversies, all ultimately leading to a release that is set to change the entire course of the DCU. This, while rumored, could be a major shift for the franchise, as the sequel had been talked about since 2014, and to see it finally take a direction could be huge for WBD.

Zack Snyder Fans Doubt Andy Muschietti Is Directing Justice League 2
Although unofficial, a fairly large source of information has many fans wondering whether or not Andy Muschietti is fit to take on the role of director for Justice League 2. Some fans only want to pass judgment on the matter once the flash was released in order to get an idea of how the director might lead to creating a big, complete project for the DCU.
Personally, I want to see Snyder return to directing. If he’s too busy to do JL2 but can do a 2-part JL3 down the line, I’d be okay with another director taking the team on a side arc with planning and communication between that person and Snyder .

Stop that. Jason wouldn’t be as excited for anyone other than Zack and his team. All the actors love him and are faithful to him, you must remember that HE gave them these roles. people say that’s an indicator that the flash is good, OMG this movie has been through a lot of reshoots!

Yes because he meant Zack, not Andy

Some fans want to see Zack Snyder direct the film because he’s been a close figure to Ben Affleck’s Batman characters and especially Henry Cavill’s Superman. Audiences want to see the director, however unlikely, return and finish where he left off.
the flash will be released in theaters from June 23, 2023.
