Justice League: 10 Ways It Sets Up The Future Of The DCEU
10. Darkseid's Arrival
Though reports suggest that Apokolips' tyrannical ruler Darkseid was originally supposed to appear at the end of Justice League (before his role was cut in favour of making the film a self-contained romp), it nevertheless seems clear that the iconic supervillain will be the League's next foe.
Steppenwolf did namedrop his nephew briefly, and though there was no further reference to him, Darkseid even being mentioned makes it clear enough that he'll be showing up to mop up his uncle's mess in the Justice League sequel. After all, Bruce's nightmarish vision from Batman v Superman has to mean something, right?
Fingers crossed that Darkseid also appears as an actual actor on-set this time rather than being purely performance-captured, because it's just not working.
