Hollywood Spotlight Magazine has offered fans information on the blockbuster’s “villain,” Steppenwolf (Ciaran Hinds). A few spoilers ahead:

“The uncle of the universe’s greatest villain, Darkseid, and a member of his elite force, Steppenwolf survived a battle with Doomsday. That should tell you just how powerful he is. Aside from his strength and near-immortality, he’s also an expert tactician and wields a vicious electro-axe that can cut through just about anything.




Steppenwolf’s primary role is as the leader of the parademons, the storm troopers who seek to destroy in the name of Darkseid. His primary mission is to serve his nephew, and his status as the main villain in Justice League suggests the scope of the threat facing Earth, as well as the inevitable appearance of Darkseid himself.

Irish star Ciaran Hinds plays the role in the movie, though he will appear through the use of motion-capture technology. According to the actor, in the film, Steppenwolf is old, tired, and trying desperately to get out from under his servitude to his nephew.”

The report contradicts changes that were reported this month, which had said that Steppenwolf will be Darkseid’s nephew. It now seems that Justice League will maintain the same relationship between these two villains.

It is presumed that Darkseid will be the big bad guy in the Justice League sequel, which is being developed.

Yet another interesting information is Doomsday: in comics, Steppenwolf had survived in a fight with Doomsday 245,000 years ago when this creature had come to Bylan 5.




In the movie universe, he was created by Lex Luthor as a weapon of destruction in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Luthor had taken the corpse of General Zod and put it in a fluid with the Luthor’s blood. The Kryptonian space ship had called this action to be forbidden, saying, “It has been decreed by the council of Krypton that none will ever again give life to a deformity so hateful to sight and memory, the desecration without name.”

It will be interesting if Luthor’s Doomsday was not the first time a Kryptonian had twisted to a hateful deformity.
