Main Villain In Justice League Movie Rumored To Be...

It should be mentioned that there are ***POTENTIAL SPOILERS!!!*** ahead...


It's long been rumored (and assumed) that the main villain in the upcoming Justice League Part 1 was going to be Darkseid, but a new report from Heroic Hollywood says that's just not the case...at least right now.  The script has gone through a number of rewrites, and is still being put together.  Even though the script does have Darkseid appearing in the Justice League film, it will be Darkseid's uncle, Steppenwolf, who will be the main bad guy in the movie. Okay, he's Darkseid's uncle in the comic books, but who knows how Zach Snyder will change him in the movie.


Let's jump back to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice for a moment.  There is a deleted scene from the film that recently made it's way on to the internet.  Chances are, it will be included on the special edition rated-R version of the movie that will be available on DVD and Bluray later this year.  In the scene, Lex Luthor meets a monster while he's in his Kryptonian warm bath.  The monster was rumored to be Steppenwolf, even though it barely looked like him.  However, it's now being said that's exactly who it's supposed to be.  Now let's jump ahead to Justice League and the potential spoilers.


According to Heroic Hollywood's sources, there's a scene that's going to be in the Justice League movie that will take place on Earth around 30,000 years in the past.  It shows us that Darkseid had attacked the planet during this time.  He was defeated in his attack by a coalition of humans, Amazonians, and Atlanteans.  During his escape from Earth, Darkseid leaves behind the motherboxes.  These are the boxes that Lex Luthor finds in the deleted scene that I mentioned before, and you can see in the picture above.  This prompts Steppenwolf to head back to Earth to retrieve them, and sets off the fight between him and his army against the Justice League.


I don't know if this conflict will only be the plot for the first Justice League film, or both of them.  I think that a safe guess would be that this storyline will just cover the first of the two films, and then the second one will feature Darkseid coming back to Earth to either aid his uncle, or exact revenge on the planet that defeated him before.


So what do you think of these possible revelations about the Justice League films?  Leave me your thoughts on this in the comments section down below.
