Zack Snyder has big plans for the Justice League. The Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice director is in charge of the expanded DC Universe. Recently, Snyder opened up about his plans for the DCCU including the solo films for Wonder Woman, Aquaman and The Suicide Squad and how much freedom the other directors have.
Zack Snyder recently spoke with Comic Book Movie about the his masterplan for the Justice League and expended DC movie universe:
"What we are doing is ground up all the way. It is one giant story. The first thing we had was the Justice League concept. The other movies, in a way, have to support that. That is our Wonder Woman, our Aquaman. They have their own creative concepts that supports them, but they do serve Justice League in the coming together of those heroes."
Snyder’s master plan is not going to limit the artistic freedom of the other film directors too much, as Snyder adds:
"I want all the other directors of the other films to be able to stretch their legs and do what they want, but at the same time there is a big interconnected universe. I have given everyone amazing access to our story, to me, and what we are doing. All the films have like minded conceptual jumping on points."
Snyder went on to discuss how films like David Ayer’s Suicide Squad fit into the shared universe:
“We call it the sandbox. It has borders around it, but everybody gets to play in the sandbox. On Suicide Squad, David Ayer has a lot of specific control over his area of the sandbox. Even if he crosses the line a little bit, we see if we can push our boundaries back a little bit."
