For the uninitiated,  the "Snyder Cut" refers to the original version of the Justice League that director Zack Snyder oversaw before he had to leave the project due to the tragic passing of his daughter, Autumn, in May of 2017. Avengers: Age of Ultron director Joss Whedon would take over the project and deliver the finished product that hit theaters. The final version of Justice League wasn't received the way DC would have liked, to put it gently. This is what has led fans to plead with Snyder for years now to release the version he completed.

The Q&A that will follow the Man of Steel watch party hasn't happened yet, but DC fans across the globe will be watching and waiting with bated breath for any new info that comes from Zack Snyder.
