It turns out all those jokes about Ben Affleck talking his friends into joining the DC Movie Universe weren’t far off the mark. It may not be the role of Robin the Boy Wonder that some fans had hoped for, but Matt Damon bringing Darkseid to life in Justice League is a bit more exciting. And if we’re honest… a better use of his talents.

Fans have been waiting impatiently to hear what plan, if any, Zack Snyder and DC Films had for the ‘big bad’ of the DC Universe, since his Parademon forces were teased as the coming threat back in Batman V Superman. Unfortunately, the villain of JL was soon confirmed to be Darkseid’s uncle Steppenwolf, allowing the DCEU to use Apokolips – but leave Darkseid untouched. Thanks to a slip-up from a Justice League producer, that suspense has come to an end – although the size of the role may give fans both a thrill… and some questions.

During a speaking engagement organized by the Producers Guild of America, producer Charles Roven (who previously let Wonder Woman’s demigod origin slip) was inevitably asked to comment on the Justice League production. Roven had the usual praise for the film’s cast and Snyder’s direction, but perhaps assuming his words wouldn’t reach media outlets – or implying an official announcement could be coming soon – added another Oscar winner to that group:

… Zack [Snyder] has had his vision of what these characters can be, and you’re seeing that building with each movie. Justice League is going to, we believe, connect people to these heroes even more. Ben’s [Affleck] Batman is finding hope, but also finding newer, younger people that the audience will hopefully connect to. And then we’ll keep building on that as we go. It’s the same thinking with Darkseid, who we’ve had Matt Damon give a performance for… that even in the few scenes you get with him, there’s more going on than just a typical bad guy. You want to know his story, but that comes later.

This has got to be an April Fools joke.

I'd have gone with Bruce Willis. Just about believable, and sounds pretty damn awful.
