Justice League Trailer: 11 Things You Probably Missed

6. Queen Hippolyta Cameo

Later on in the trailer, there's some very Lord of the Rings-esque imagery from what's assumed to be a prologue sequence early in the film, where Darkseid's forces descend from Apokolips to try and conquer Earth, but are successfully repelled by the combined might of the Atlanteans, the Amazons and the humans.

At one point, the insanely epic fight focuses on one accomplished female Amazon leaping into the air to deliver a blow, and it seems pretty likely that this will end up being a younger Queen Hippolyta, the mother of Wonder Woman.

Whether Connie Nielsen will play the part, a younger actress will be cast or there will be the ever-popular CGI makeover instead, it makes a lot of sense that the fierce Queen of Themyscira would be in the heat of battle alongside her troops.
