It is a dark day for DCEU as the heartbreaking news of Zack Snyder's 20-year-old daughter's death made headlines. Following a hardship in his personal life, the Justice League director decided to step down from the helm of the DC movie.
This difficult time for the Warner Bros director has blurred lines between two biggest comic universe and celebrities from Marvel and the DC camp have united to condemn Snyder's loss and offer his support.
Celebrities took to Twitter and Instagram pouring their hearty tributes to Snyder. It is known that Superman Henry Cavill is Snyder's close friend as the director has left no opportunity to express his gratitude to the actor. Cavill, who is shooting in Paris for Mission: Impossible 6, took to Instagram to express his condolences to the director's loss and the Manchester terror attacks.
Close associate and Aquaman director James Wan tweeted to Snyder expressing his condolences to the family. The director posted the tweet as soon as he found out about the latest development.
My heart breaks for Zack and Deb. Condolences to their family.

Justice League will now be handled by The Avengers director Joss Whedon. On any given day, an Avengers director taking over a Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman and Aquaman led movie would be a great deal. But today, it is just so good to see that the lines are blurring when the comic world really needs to unite.
Justice League will release as schedule on November 17.
