With the release of Snyder Cut on HBO Max, the Restore The SnyderVerse campaign was, frankly, inevitable; energized by the success of the "ReleaseTheSnyderCut" movement, fans are pushing Warner to make Snyder's version of " Justice League" to be legitimate and to encourage Zack Snyder to make more DC movies.

And now, in the ranks of the online crowd supporting the Snyderverse, we have a famous friend: Joe Manganiello. Joe, the star of True Blood, posted a black-and-white photo of his character Deathstroke online with the hashtag #RestoreTheSnyderVerse, and fans went wild in the comments section.

The support from Manganiello is not necessarily surprising. Although he had a supporting role in Whedon's Justice League (and the Snyder cut as well), mid- and post-credits scenes foreshadowed a deeper involvement by Deathstroke, Batman's rival and unwilling ally. The photos released by Manganiello appear to be additional shots for the Nightmare sequence, and if the Snyderverse returns, Deathstroke will likely play a major role.

This is a big moment for fans who want to take control of the DCEU format, and is reminiscent of when Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot expressed their support for the Snyder Cut using the #ReleaseTheSnyderCut hashtag. Posts like this let fans know that they are not alone and that someone who was actually in the film has noticed them and approves of their efforts.

In reply, user @Dromel4 (displaying the name "Dromel wants to #RestoreTheSnyderVerse") wrote "Ready the Hashtags we use the old ways #RestoreTheSnyderVerse" and Michael Scott (Steve Carell) attached a GIF of "The Office" that shouts "Oh, my god! Okay, here we go."

Most of the replies were similar, using the aforementioned hashtag and shouting "YES!" or, in the case of user @pigeonbvttz, "LETS GOOO DEATHSTROKE" with exuberance and positivity.
