This has to of been something in the works for a while now. Right after Ben Affleck surprised everyone with footage showing Deathstroke on the set of the Justice League movie, the name "Joe Manganiello" has been attached to it. Now it's been confirmed that he is in fact going to be playing Deathstroke in the upcoming Affleck solo Batman movie. Things don't usually move this quick in Hollywood, you know? I mean it's only been a week since the footage was released. It makes sense, though. Affleck was the one that leaked it, there was no "anonymous person from the crew" that leaked the footage. this was all surprisingly well planned.
There isn't much known about the upcoming Batman movie, and Slade Wilson's role in it remains to be seen, but there are a lot of rumors out there as to what we could expect. It was previously "reported" that nearly all of rogues in Batman's gallery would be making some sort of appearance in the film, which has led many to believe that the movie will feature Arkham Asylum for part, if not most, of the film. If this is the case, then maybe we can expect to see some, if not all, of the Suicide Squad making an appearance, One of the rumors that is going around id that Batman and Deadshot (Will Smith) team up against The Joker (Jared Leto). Don't expect them to get along, or even want to team up, if this in fact happens, but that would make for a pretty cool story.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that this had happened, that Joe Manganiello has signed on to play Slade Wilson. What do you think of their choice for Deathstroke? If you don't like him, who would you rather have seen playing Deathstroke? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below.
