The 2017 Justice League film has two more characters reprising their roles: Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, and Connie Nielson as Queen Hippolyta. The news was listed in a new press kit sent out by Warner Bros. on Thursday, along with a new synopsis for the film.
"Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat," reads Warner Bros.'s description. "But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions."

“Flash is Ringo Starr,” says Miller, pictured here alongside allies the Dark Knight (Ben Affleck) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot). “He annoys everybody, but he doesn’t have any specific beef with anyone.”
Miller also offers up Flash’s blunt assessment of his fellow leaguers. “Uncle Fish Curry [Aquaman] is very grumpy. Dad [Batman] gets grumpy too. (He’s had a long life of fighting crime.) Wonder Woman is very considerate, so even though she’s annoyed with the Flash, she’s still very compassionate.” Yeesh. Don’t get him started on Superman.

4th November 2016 - Ciaran Hinds Cast as Steppenwolf
It looks like the “Justice League” found it’s bad guy as “Game of Thrones” star Ciaran Hinds will play Steppenwolf in DC Films’ upcoming ensemble superhero movie which recently wrapped production, TheWrap has exclusively learned. Actor will play villain in motion capture performance.
Hinds recently wrapped production on the role of Steppenwolf which is a motion capture character from an alien planet, much like the Marvel Studios villain Thanos played by Josh Brolin in “Avengers: Infinity War.”
Insiders also said that Steppenwolf’s look will be upgraded from his first appearance in the DC Films universe in a deleted scene from “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.”
In that clip released the Monday after the film’s opening weekend, Lex Luthor (Jesse Esienberg) communicates with Steppenwolf via the technology on the Kryptonian ship.
When the SWAT team arrived to arrest Luthor, Steppenwolf screeched and cut off contact. The clip never revealed who this alien was, but one of the strongest theories was that it was Steppenwolf, going off its physical appearances and the three mother boxes.

30th August 2016 - Ben Affleck Hints at Deathstroke's Presence in Justice League & Batman Solo Movie
https://t.co/0NsNzCtGip
— Ben Affleck (@BenAffleck) August 29, 2016
Ben Affleck revealed test footage on Twitter this morning of Deathstroke, an assassin/mercenary who is the co-founder of Lex Luthor’s Secret Society of Super Villains in the DC universe. Deathstroke is also a nemesis of Batman’s, and at one point worked with Ra’s al Ghul’s daughter Talia. Together they controlled Robin via neural implant to kill Batman.
It’s not clear how Deathstroke will factor into Warner Bros’ DC Universe — whether the character will appear in the upcoming Justice League or Affleck’s Batman stand-alone film. Likely it’s Justice League, which is coming out November 17, 2017.

6th May 2016 - Ben Affleck Elevated to Executive Producer
Ben Affleck, who is already starring in Justice League as Batman, will now act as an executive producer on Warners’ mega-comic book that is already in production, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Zack Snyder is directing the movie but the move legitimizes Affleck as a creative voice in the moviemaking process.
The actor-turned-filmmaker will work with Chris Terrio, his screenwriter from Argo and Batman v. Superman, to fine tune the script and he will also inform the post-production process, according to sources.
The move comes as BvS has come to the end of its box office run, grossing $864 million worldwide. While that number seems solid on paper, the studio was expecting more. The fan reaction and review also seemed a rejection of the dark tone created by the movie’s filmmaking team.

5th June 2012 - Film In Development
While Disney and Marvel were busy shooting “The Avengers” last year, Warner Brothers quietly began getting its own all-star superhero pic back on track, tapping “Gangster Squad” scribe Will Beall to write “Justice League,” based on the WB-controlled stable of DC Comics superheroes.
Warner Bros. had no comment on the top-secret hire, which, due to its timing, was more in anticipation of — rather than a reaction to — the box office success of “The Avengers.”
Beall has yet to turn in his “Justice League” script, though he has become a favorite scribe of Warners. He’s been linked to the studio’s proposed “Lethal Weapon” reboot and several other projects at WB, which will release “Gangster Squad” on Sept. 7.
