While originally set to be a two-part feature, we now know there will be one singular Justice League film directed by Zack Snyder (the man behind Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice). Yet finding out there will only by one film was just a taste of the Justice League news which has just dropped.
Apparently the bosses at Warner Bros./DC are denying there was ever plans for a part-two; producer Deborah Snyder told Empire Magazine “We were only ever planning, and we are only doing, Justice League.”; and Zack Snyder himself said Justice League will be “a complete movie”, but obviously there will be room for a follow-up/sequel; ““It doesn’t end like, ‘Well, that’s the DC Universe!’”
Snyder has also confirmed he will be shooting Justice League on 35mm film (as he did with Batman v Superman); great news for film purists, who’ll undoubtedly approve of the traditional medium over digital productions. We’ve also learned the villain’s will likely be Darkseid (an alien god who’s staunchly opposed to any form of free will) and Steppenwolf (the leader of Darkseid’s army), Batman will be lighter than he was in BvS (“he has a little bit more sardonic humour, a little more irony… he’s on a mission to get this group together, to constitute this League, and this wry ironic gallows humour comes out”), and the reaction to BvS has led to Justice League shooting for a lighter tone which the crew describe as “fun.”
Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, and Ezra Millier will headline Justice League as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and The Flash respectively, and be joined on screen by Amber Heard, Amy Adams, J.K. Simmons, and Jeremy Irons when Justice League is released on November 17th 2017 in both the US and UK.
