Warner Bros' first Justice League movie is still two years away but we've already got some interesting details regarding its plot and possible antagonist.
A recently published listing on My Entertainment World has outed iconic DC villain, Darkseid as the possible villain in the highly anticipated superhero flick.
"The world's greatest heroes are assembled to form the Justice League, to combat a threat beyond each individual's capabilities. The story involves Darkseid planning the destruction of Earth by blasting it with a ray that'll move Apokolips into the Earth's place." Reads the synopsis.
Back in 2012, Latino Review predicted that the character would serve as the film's big bad.
"It's kind of obvious if you really think about it. I mean for Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and others to come together in a summer tentpole movie to face a threat, well, that threat better be planetary." Wrote author El Mayimbe back then.
A quick glance at Darkseid's official wiki page reveals his considerable stature in the DC Comics universe.
Modeled on Adolf Hitler, Darkseid is an intergalactic being hell bent on enslaving the galaxy under his rule.
He certainly seems like a force powerful enough to unite the likes of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman under the same cause.
Will he be the fabled superhero team's first test? We'll have to wait and see where DC takes its cinematic universe first.
The whole thing kicks off on March 25, 2016 with the release of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. On August 5, 2016, the villains take the spotlight in David Ayer's highly anticipated Suicide Squad.
Following that, Gal Gadot makes history with the first ever stand alone Wonder Woman film on June 23, 2017.
This all leads to November 17, 2017, the release date of the first Justice League film.
