Thor: Ragnarok may have edged out Warner’s Justice League on the social polls, but there’s no question that the latter comic book movie has found itself smack back in the eye of a digital storm, one that’s largely made up of speculation, unfounded rumors, and half-baked fan theories.
Wading through that deluge of information has become a rather tricky task for the DC faithful, and this week alone, we’ve already caught wind of Superman’s fabled black suit – or lack thereof. Buried in that same report though was an alleged Justice League scene description.
Posted to Reddit, which is a red flag in and of itself, the source behind said description claims that Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon’s ensemble movie will feature a sequence in which Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel swoops down to visit Kent Farm. Spoilers: Superman is resurrected in Justice League, which was something that was originally teased during Batman V Superman‘s post-credits stinger.
Getting back to this purported scene, though, and the source goes on to claim that Henry Cavill was seen punching a huge stack of green boxes. They are, of course, acting as a stand-in for a CGI creation, one which will be added in post-production, but the bigger question is what was Superman beating back. A Parademon, perhaps? If so, it would mean that Steppenwolf is aware of the League’s many hideouts, which can only portend dark and difficult times for our titular crew.
Justice League will be with us on November 17th – with or without Superman’s black suit. Word is that Warner’s long-brewing ensemble pic features not one, but two post-credits scenes, so it’d be wise to stick around after the screen goes black. Besides, with so many DC-related tentpoles cramming up the pipeline, there’s a very good chance the Powers That Be will take the opportunity to tee up Shazam! and/or Suicide Squad 2, both of which are said to be targeting 2019.
