    ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’: First Look at Joe Manganiello’s Deathstroke

    Zack Snyder’s Justice League is feeling like one big family reunion. Everyone is back on board to bring this film to life once more. Even if most of them are going to be at each other’s throats, keep in mind that they’re along for the ride through thick and thin. One of the later additions for the director’s cut was Joe Manganiello‘s Slade Wilson, aka Deathstroke. The mercenary had only previously appeared once in the DCEU. That was at the tail end of the theatrical Justice League release, in which we saw the character meet up with a now bald Lex Luthor. He offered Deathstroke the chance to form a league that can rival that of the newly founded Justice League.

    Manganiello shared a new look at his character for the upcoming film. It seems mostly faithful to what we saw in the initial release with a few changes. This version seems to be slightly older than when we saw him last time. His hair seems much whiter, and he is sporting a mohawk. If you didn’t know, Manganiello did everything to prepare for this role. He took up sword fighting and katana lessons, as well as researching the best form of martial arts for the character to use. All that for a minor cameo, as he believed it would turn into a larger role later down the line. This more grizzled look could hint at Wilson showing up in a Knightmare scene, or it could be what Snyder intended his Deathstroke to look like in the first place.

    Manganiello was once slated to be the main villain of Ben Affleck‘s Batman movie and receive his spinoff from director Gareth Evans who worked on the highly praised Raid franchise that was ultimately known for its intense martial arts action sequences. It’s unclear now what the future holds for Slade Wilson in the DCEU, but hopefully, this won’t be the last time we see him.

    ‘Zack Snyders Justice League’ Latest Trailer Adds Some New Scenes

    The fabled Snyder Cut of Justice League has become one of the most infamous and interesting topics in the entertainment world to date. After a 3-year campaign and millions of supporters around the world, Warner Bros had finally decided to move forward with the project. Back in May, it was confirmed by Zack Snyder and Henry Cavill during the Man Of Steel anniversary live stream. The cut was indeed coming and was due to release sometime in 2021.

    We then got a new look at Zack Snyders Justice League back in August at the DC Fandome event, where the first official trailer made its debut. Recently the trailer got taken down but turned out to be caused by a rights issue with the Cohen estate. Snyder took to Vero today to reveal the newest look at the film, a black and white trailer similar to that of the one we saw back in August. Yet, this time with a few extra tidbits thrown into the mix. Zack Snyders Justice Lague is set to feature the return of actors who were cut from the original film, such as Ray Porter, Willem Dafoe, Kiersey Klemons, Orion Lee, and Karen Bryson.

    Reshoots for Zack Snyder’s Justice League started to take place earlier this week, as reported by THR. So far, the cast members that were included in these reshoots were reportedly Ben Affleck, Ray Fisher, Jared Leto, and Amber Heard as Batman, Cyborg, Joker, and Mera respectively. Now, we have learned that Joe Manganiello is set to reprise his role as Deathstroke for the upcoming DC production, as reported by Collider & their sources state that Manganiello will be returning to the set for additional shooting.

     

     

    It is important to note that Joe Manganiello was seen last night during a League of Legends event live on Twitch sporting a look similar to that of his Deathstroke appearance in the Justice League (2017) post-credit scene, as seen in the image above. When the project was officially announced back in May, Manganiello had actually gone on Instagram to state that the Synder Cut would include “the original post-credit scene”. What that original post-credit scene was, only time will tell.

     

    Zack Snyder’s Justice League is set to premiere exlucisvely on HBO Max in 2021.

  • Jared Leto to Return as Joker for ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’

    Jared Leto to Return as Joker for ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’

    The fabled Snyder Cut of 2017’s Justice League will be making its way to HBO Max sometime next year. Just recently, it was revealed that Zack Snyder would indeed be returning behind the camera to work on additional photography for his director’s cut. It was reported that Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Ray Fisher, Amber Heard, and Ezra Miller were set to return for additional scenes. It would allow Snyder to add the scenes he wasn’t able to finish during its initial production before Joss Whedon took over. In a sudden twist, it’s now being reported that Jared Leto’s clown prince of crime will also return to the big screen as part of this new vision of the team-up film.

    Leto previously played the Joker in the 2016 film Suicide Squad. His take on the role stirred quite a controversy due to his very unique depiction of the clown prince of crime. It’s unclear how big of a role Leto will have in the film but most likely isn’t much, as he wasn’t included in the original cut released back in 2017. We might get him in some flashbacks depicting what truly happened to Robin, which was briefly teased in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

    Along with this news, it’s also been confirmed that Jon Berg, Geoff Johns, and Joss Whedon will not be receiving credits on this cut of the film. They are also in no way involved in the new production. Now that it is officially titled Zack Snyders Justice League, we cannot wait to see his initial villain come to life once the film is released on HBO Max.

  • FanDome: ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ Confirmed As 4-Part Mini-Series

    So, we were all wondering what exactly Zack Snyder’s Justice League would be released as. There were theories that we would be getting a two to three-hour film. Some were hinting at it being a mini-series that re-tells his version in parts. This way, he could explore more of the original concept that was planned. Well, in the DC FanDome panel, he confirmed that it will be a four-part mini-series with each episode consisting of an hour.

    This is huge news as it opens up the question if we will get all four parts at the same time. Zack Snyder did confirm that they will interlink to form one cohesive story. They might have split it up to give Snyder more time to explore and people can watch it in parts to not be overwhelmed by the length. No matter how they release his version of the story, it will be great to see his original vision see the light of day.
