The husband-wife team of director Zack Snyder and producer Deborah Snyder left Justice League in the capable hands of Joss Whedon to grieve after a family tragedy in May. They had set the vision for the DC Extended Universe — from Man of Steel onward — but in their absence, fans have wondered if the name "Snyder" would appear in the credits of future DCEU films.

After all, the broody Man of Steel and Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice sharply divided audiences, while Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman became the franchise's most successful film largely thanks to a more optimistic tone, proving that DC Films could compete with Marvel Studios. Was Zach Snyder's influence already on the wane?

Now Warner Bros. is making it clear that Zack and Deborah Snyder are still very much a part of the franchise going forward. Toby Emmerich, president of Warner Bros. Pictures, had this to say:

"The Snyders remain an important part of the Warner Bros. family and are actively involved in several upcoming DC pictures, including their continued creative input on Justice League. We are excited about our partnership and look forward to our continued collaboration."

Zack Snyder will be credited as a producer on future DCEU movies, such as James Wan's Aquaman and The Flash: Flashpoint, Mashable reports. (They'll also receive credits on Justice League, since Whedon's role is comparatively small.) When the Snyders are ready to work again, it sounds like they'll still have a seat at the table.

In the meantime, the franchise is moving forward under the guidance of DC Films president Geoff Johns, Jenkins, Whedon (who tackles Batgirl next) and Wan, all bringing their own visions to these beloved DC characters. But whatever those visions look like, they'll be rooted in Snyder's original.

Justice League arrives in theaters on November 17th.
