Zack Snyder steps down from Justice League after daughter’s death
According to The Hollywood Reporter, director Zack Snyder has announced that he’s stepping down from the Justice League movie so he can spend time with his family in the wake of his 20-year-old daughter Autumn’s suicide in March. Snyder and his family have been keeping details about her death private, with a recent two-week hiatus on Justice League production the only indication that something had happened. Snyder told The Hollywood Reporter that he was initially eager to get back to work, thinking that it would be “a cathartic thing” to just put everything he had into finishing the movie so he could “see if that was a way through it,” but over the last two months he realized that he had to “take a step back” and spend time with his family instead.
