Hinds played giant-sized villain Steppenwolf in Zack Snyder's 2017 superhero film "Justice League". Disappointed with the reshoots and changes made by Joss Whedon, Hinds was vocal about his hopes for the release of Snyder's cut, calling it superior to the final theatrical cut. In 2020 Warner Bros. announced their plans to release "Zack Snyder's Justice League" on the WarnerMedia Entertainment streaming service HBO Max in 2021. The film restored many scenes including those of Hinds which were not featured in Whedon's version.
