Steppenwolf is the uncle of the evil Darkseid, a well-known villain among comic book fans; in the extended version of Batman vs Superman: The Origin of Justice We were able to see a Kryptonian hologram of the alien, but its appearance changed radically when it appeared in League of Justice, because the executives found it very terrifying. Now with Snyder’s golden opportunity to realize his vision, Steppenwolf will look just like he originally envisioned.
Through the social network Vero, Snyder posted a low-resolution image, which apparently is the villain’s arrival on Themiscira, Wonder Woman’s home island, via Boom Tube. Although the director published the image in low quality, he said that “it is something to see” in HD. Here you can see it:
In addition to Steppenwolf, Darkseid will be present at Snyder’s cut. The Emperor of Apokolips was already featured in the first teaser for Zack Snyder’s Justice League, in a mural that is discovered by Wonder Woman and in a battle scene that was omitted from the theatrical version.

Unlike the generic Steppenwolf that we saw in the movie released in 2017, Snyder’s cut shows us a monster that seems born from the mind of H.R. Giger. It is expected that the character also has a better development in the more than three hours that the film will last.
Originally League of Justice was planned to be the first of two installments that would close the story of these superheroes, but the negative reception of Batman vs Superman: The Origin of Justice it caused Warner Bros. to intervene more and in that way the plan by Snyder was greatly modified. Later the director had to leave the production due to a family tragedy and was put in his place Joss Whedon, who remade most of the film and left fans and critics unsatisfied.
To the bad luck of those involved in the project, Whedon not only finished what Zack had started, but he had a completely nefarious attitude and despised everyone’s work. The actor Ray Fisher (Cyborg) was the first to raise his voice on this awkward topic, and during Justice Con, a fan-hosted event, he said the following:
I don’t want to compare them in any way or shape, but what I’m going to say about the Joss Whedon situation is that I obviously made some very strong words and some very strong comments about Joss Whedon, and every one of those words, every one of those comments, is true.
Fisher’s words were echoed by stuntmen and others who have worked with the filmmaker in the past. The accusations of his ex-wife and some members of the cast of Buffy the Cazavampiros show that what happened in the production of League of Justice It is not an isolated case.
