Did Ben Affleck Just Reveal Footage of Deathstroke From JUSTICE LEAGUE?
Take a look at this:
If that tweet is still live when you're reading this article, that means that Ben Affleck officially shared some live-action footage of the assassin character Deathstroke, and this wasn't some kind of overly-involved hoax. In case it does get pulled: Affleck tweeted a video early this morning that showed a fully-costumed Deathstroke standing in the back of a cargo plane.
Assuming this is real, in which DC Extended Universe movie will the character appear? I think Zack Snyder's Justice League is the only thing that makes sense as far as timing goes. Chances are pretty high that it's not Wonder Woman since that film is a period piece, and I don't think filming has begun yet on Aquaman or The Flash, so yeah, it seems like Justice League would be the only real option. Also: who is that under the mask? Could it be Affleck's Bruce Wayne, using Deathstroke's identity as a cover? (Note: that's 100% speculation based on the fact that Affleck shared this footage and not Snyder or someone else associated with DC. How pissed would Deathstroke fans be if that ended up being true, though?) We'll stay tuned to see if Affleck shares more in the hours and days to come, but in the meantime, sound off with your thoughts/predictions/casting hopes below.
