HBO Max may need to fear Darkseid’s wrath, as a technical snafu caused the service to leak part of Zack Snyder’s Justice League ten days early. As THR reports, some users who logged into the service on Monday night to watch Tom & Jerry ended up getting the first hour of the highly-anticipated “Snyder Cut” of the DC Extended Universe team-up fulm.

Several users, including THR’s Ryan Parker, noted that when they want to watch the animated/CGI hybrid, an error message appeared at first and then the Snyder Cut began. Parker noted that the film cut off after an hour for him. Several people shared screenshots of the film online, but HBO Max reacted quickly to take issue takedown notices on those stills to minimize spoilers. HBO Max has said in a statement that “Zack Snyder’s Justice League was temporarily available on HBO Max and the error was addressed within minutes.”

The four-hour cut of the film is set to release on March 18th.
