Warner Bros. has released a new photo from the highly-anticipatedJustice League movie, which assembles some of DC Comics' biggest heroes. The photo features Batman (Ben Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), The Flash (Ezra Miller) and Aquaman (Jason Momoa), but Superman (Henry Cavill) is still nowhere to be found. While the beloved hero is expected to be resurrected at some point in the movie, after sacrificing his life at the end ofBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, we don’t know exactly how this will happen quite yet.
Of course, Superman’s sacrifice is one of the reasons thisJustice League is formedin the first place, withBatmanassembling this team of heroes.USA Todaydebuted this new photo and spoke with directorZack Snyder, who shed some light onWonder Woman’s arc in both her stand alone movie, debuting this June, and how it leads into theJustice Leaguestory. Here’s what he had to say below.
“It was all about the filling-out of this massive comic-book pantheon with the biggest and coolest heroes we could. (Wonder Womanlearns that) humanity isn’t always the most kind and awesome thing. It has its moments, but it can be brutal, and her coming to terms with that dichotomy is what we come to learn about her. And inJustice League, she’s fully evolved into someone who’s embraced mankind, partly through Superman’s sacrifice. She’s like, ‘All right, I’ve got to pick it up.'”
