Zack Snyder has explained that the Justice League: Snyder Cut is separate from the current DC Extended Universe (DCEU) continuity, joking that it actually takes place in the "Snyderverse." In an interview with Beyond the Trailer, Snyder confirmed that his version of Justice League exists outside of the DCEU timeline, as it "satisfies" the narrative structure that runs through 2013's Man of Steel and 2016's Batman v Superman.

"But for me, where [Justice League] falls, I believe that it really starts to represent its own path. It's kind of separate now from the DC cinematic universe continuity, it's divergent in that way, and I think that's a good thing." Snyder went on to praise the power of DC for working with multiverse concepts, which allow filmmakers to use their own individual voices to take characters and run them through a set narrative. He added, "I've heard someone say, 'Oh, you're entering the Snyderverse now.' And frankly, this notion that, what you will see in Justice League, Batman v Superman and in Man of Steel, there's continuity across those three movies because I made them; that's my main focus is to satisfy that narrative structure [and] continue that story."
