9 Possible Characters Willem Dafoe Will Play In Justice League
1. Martian Manhunter
Considering Snyder's aversion to characters that are "too comic book-y," this seems like a downright impossible choice, but here's to hoping that the director has experienced a change of heart and is willing to make one of the greatest casting decisions in the history of comic book movies a reality.
As one of the oldest superheroes, Martian Manhunter is crucial to establishing the Justice League team, as he's been part of just about every iteration of the group.
Manhunter shares a similar origin with Superman - both were the sole survivors of their race to come to earth to defend their new home planet. That dynamic alone would add an interesting layer to the relationship structure of the team, giving one of the least relatable superheroes of all time someone in the group to relate to.
And his secret identity as a police officer could be exploited to great effect here, since we already know we'll be seeing a fair amount of Commissioner Gordon in the film.
This is the character most diehard fans want on the roster, and as one of the most seasoned heroes that's been attached to the Justice League, Dafoe seems like an optimal choice in the role.
