Last week Warner Bros. invited several websites to London for a JUSTICE LEAGUE set visit. The amount of information being revealed already definitely has the feel of the studio doing some damage control after the subpar response to BATMAN V. SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE. And by the sound of this new info it appears executives and creatives listened and adapted to make JUSTICE LEAGUE the best movie it can be. [The following info is sourced from Collider.]
In the timeline of the DC Extended Universe, JUSTICE LEAGUE falls just a few months after the events of BATMAN V. SUPERMAN. There will be MacGuffins in the movie; three of them all of which are Mother Boxes.
Each Mother Box will be a different color and belong to mankind, the Amazonians and the other is in Atlantis. The movie will explain the Mother Boxes and their history, as well as a brief cameo (or Easter Egg) of Zeus during the history lesson, and it is assumed to happen during the film's prologue.
Here's some quick bullet points:
- Steppenwolf is confirmed to be the main villain of the movie and the parademons seen in Bruce Wayne's future vision in BATMAN V. SUPERMAN will play a big role in JUSTICE LEAGUE, too.
- The movie will appeal more to younger audiences with the inclusion of younger heroes Cyborg and the Flash. Both will be lighter characters to bring fun and humor into the movie.
- Atlantis will be shown in different time periods in the movie and it will be seen as being a very ancient culture.
- Writer and artist Jack Kirby's 'New Gods' comic book story line is the main influence for JUSTICE LEAGUE.
- Bruce Wayne and Alfred will develop most of the technology for the JUSTICE LEAGUE members.
- Finally, despite her missing her costume fitting, producers confirmed that Amber Heard is still Mera in the movie.
