The Rumour: With Steppenwolf appearing as the film's main villain and being one of the New Gods himself, fans began to suspect that this could suggest that several other New Gods may appear in the film, either some of New Genesis' heroic inhabitants intent on stopping Steppenwolf's assault on Earth, or villainous backup from the hellscape that is Apokolips.

The Truth: Apart from Steppenwolf, the New Gods are totally out of the picture, and it's probably just as well. Sure, Steppenwolf was a terrible villain, but the last thing this movie needed was even more ghastly CGI creations being thrown at the audience.

There's room for a future movie to explore the conflict between New Genesis and Apokolips, but this wasn't the one to do it.
