Willem Dafoe IS.. who? in Justice League

[John-An]

He'll go from Marvel villain to DC good guy, although the details of his new character are being kept under lock and key.
Willem Dafoe is joining the good guys in Justice League.

The movie began production last week with Zack Snyder, fresh off of the worldwide tour promoting Batman v Superman, in the director’s chair.

Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), the Flash (Ezra Miller) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher) are the super-powered characters who must team up to combat a threat beyond each member's capabilities. (Warner Bros. is playing it coy about whether the villain is classic DC bad guy Darkseid, who was hinted at in BvS.)

Chris Terrio wrote the screenplay for Justice League, which will be released in two parts by Warner Bros. Justice League: Part One will hit theaters on Nov. 17, 2017, while Part Two is slated for release on June 14, 2019.

In early March, the production added J.K. Simmons to the cast as the Gotham City Police Commissioner Gordon.

Dafoe, who starred as the villainous Marvel character Green Goblin in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man movies, is playing a good guy in a role that will see him appear in both parts of the JL movies. Details of his character, however, are being kept under lock and key.

Charles Roven, Snyder and Deborah Snyder are producing Justice League.

Dafoe memorably appeared in the Keanu Reeves action movie John Wick and recently wrapped shooting Legendary’s fantasy The Great Wall with Matt Damon.

He is repped by CAA and Circle of Confusion.

Oooooh **** son! Let the specamulashuns begin!

 

[Legendver2]

I would say Desaad

 

[BlueLanternKal]

He's not a villain though. If Darkseid is in it he could be Orion or Highfather.

 

[Unbreakable Lex]

I would say Desaad

Playing a "good" guy.

So he's a hero's support or he's from New Genesis. I'm betting he has something to do with Flash.

 

[BatsDC]

Tobey Maguire will be next

 

[jokesonm3]

Joker thug #2

 

[jokesonm3]

But forreal, great casting!

 

[Fallen Angel]

I'm going to put it out there he's playing General Sam Lane. They've been trying to get the character into the franchise for a while now. He was in an early draft of MOS and was rumoured for Suicide Squad as well.

 

[Lily Adler]

Could have been Dafoker!

Didn't the reddit rumors mention him?

What if he's Lex Sr.?

 

[Beatnation]

 

[jokesonm3]

He is WAAY too big of an actor to play some glorified underling of Darkseid like Desaad!

Think bigger!

 

[MadVillainy]

Lol they're poaching Raimi's cast (I'm joking)

 

[Angel0fDeath]

Another great casting.

That's a good bet.

Granny Goodness?

 

[Fallen Angel]

Well Raimi's cast is barely doing anything now bar Dunst.

 

[mclay18]

He's playing a good guy, so maybe... Martian Manhunter?

I'm probably wrong about that.

 

[Lily Adler]

What hell is Dunst doing that's so important?!? Fargo ain't worth ****!

 

[Unbreakable Lex]

Tobey Maguire will be next

I'm torn on Maguire and Franco for Darkseid.

 

[John-An]

Why people say he is Martian Manhunter?

 

[jokesonm3]

Granny Goodness?

Genius! #BasedSnyder

 

[Mr. Wayne]

MM. Please.

 

[jokesonm3]

Why people say is Martian Manhunter?

Because we desperately need him.

 

[Fallen Angel]

What hell is Dunst doing that's so important?!? Fargo ain't worth ****!

Fargo is slightly better than interviewing Kim Jong Un.

 

[Lily Adler]

Why people say is Martian Manhunter?

Speculation and guesses based on the whole not playing a villain.
