Justice League Trailer: 10 Big Questions We're Left With

3. Will It Setup Darkseid?

Steppenwolf may be the main villain of this film, but it's believed that he's just the first course, ahead of the true Big Bad of the DCEU coming to Earth himself in the sequel - Darkseid.

Steppenwolf's nephew and the ruler of Apokolips, who wants to control the entire universe and eliminate all free will. Which sounds like the kinda thing the Justice League might be interested in stopping.

Obviously just having Steppenwolf himself is a bit of setup, but will there be anything in the movie that goes further to showcase his impending arrival? Is there a chance we might even see him at one point, perhaps during the post-credits scene? Maybe that'd be a little 'too Thanos', but you'd expect they need to establish his presence some way in this movie if he's going to terrorise the team in the sequel.
