Rumor: Surprising Villain Potentially Revealed For JUSTICE LEAGUE

Potential spoilers ahead.

Here's some news I don't know how to feel about for the upcoming Justice League movie. Birth Movies Death says everyone who guessed the main villain would be Darkseid is dead wrong. Take a look at this deleted scene from the movie:

That creature Luthor stands face to face with is apparently a character called Steppenwolf, who will reportedly be the villain in the new movie. The site talks about how Darkseid and Steppenwolf will probably be at odds in the film, causing the villain to leave Apokolips and invade our Earth. They also say the end of the film will feature a Darkseid appearance on Earth.

I don't know how to feel about this. After Batman v Superman, I'm a hard sell on a two part Justice League film, and as far as Steppenwolf goes, he's a villain that seems like a better fit for a one on one battle, not a team of superheroes. The only instance I can see it being a team effort would be with a full scale Earth invasion of an alien race led by Steppenwolf, but doesn't that sound a little too similar to another ensemble hero film?!

At the end of the day, this is just a rumor and, even if it's solid, so much can change between script to final version we shouldn't be too concerned. That said, we should definitely be speaking out in favor or against so the powers that be are seeing it! (Although filming has been going on for a while now, so it's probably too late to effectively change anything at this point.)
