We've known for some time now that Willem Dafoe will appear in Justice League in a heroic role, the nature of which has been fiercely guarded by Warner Bros., which naturally only heightened fan interest in quite who he might play.

Though many suspected he would in fact be taking the mantle of Martian Manhunter, reports suggest that he will play an Atlantean, and considering the sort of roles Dafoe excels at, it's easy to imagine him playing a high-ranking politician or advisor to Aquaman, a wise sage who encourages Aquaman to join the Justice League perhaps.

Frankly, we're just excited that Dafoe is in the movie, and though the Aquaman portion of the film will be by far the trickiest to pull off, adding an actor of his caliber to the mix already has us optimistic.
