Director Zack Snyder planned ahead for his four hour cut of Justice League to release in theatres, building in a 10-minute musical intermission for the film.
Snyder not only confirmed the musical intermission but also debuted a sneak peek at its orchestration during a Justice-League-themed interview with the Minutemen.
When asked directly about the upcoming movie's total length, Snyder replied, "It's four hours [worth] of the picture, and with the credits, I think it does go over four hours by a few minutes because of titles, because a lot of people worked on the movie."
"And if the movie is able to be viewed in the cinema, we have a 10-minute intermission which is built into the movie and has a beautiful suite of music," he added. Then, the director held his phone up and played a piece from the intermission to share with the interviewers and fans alike, which is also comprised by the film's composer Junkie XL (Tom Holkenborg).
Notably, the musical score planned for 2017's Justice League was supposed to be created by Junkie XL. When Joss Whedon took over the project, however, composer Danny Elfman -- who worked on Avengers: Age of Ultron previously with Whedon -- replaced him. Snyder confirmed in July 2020 that Junkie XL will create the musical score for his cut of the film with accompanying music by Hans Zimmer. Junkie XL previously worked with Snyder, co-composing the score for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice alongside Hans Zimmer.
