Zack Snyder revealed what DC fans can expect from Steppenwolf and Darkseid’s “very complicated” relationship in their next Justice League movie.
Zack Snyder teased fans with a brief explanation of why the dynamic between Darkseid and Steppenwolf is “too complicated” in his next one Justice League movie.
“The dynamics between the two, some things have happened in the past,” said Snyder at IGN Fan Fest. “There are a lot of problems between them … I think everything is unfolding.” Snyder added: “The answer is that there is a very complex relationship”, without disclosing further.
However, Snyder shared his directional vision about Darkseid, admitting that he originally planned to set up the character to play a prominent role in a sequential film. “He is certainly the villain of the sequence, but he is definitely in full swing [in Justice League]”, he said.” He’s running the show. He is there. I don’t want to screw it up again, but yes, it’s definitely there. “

Snyder added that the version of Darkseid in his film has “tons of human motivation” and doesn’t just focus on a quest for conquest. “He operates on another plane, but certainly something has happened to him in the past and he is not happy about it, and it hurt him a lot,” continued Snyder. “It shaped him and he’s trying to fix it, so I think there are a lot of nuances to him and Ray [Porter] does a great job of dubbing it. “
Darkseid was originally created to play an important role in the theatrical cut of Justice League but it was largely cut from the film after Joss Whedon took over as director. Ultimately, Darkseid was mentioned only briefly by Steppenwolf. Snyder confirmed that Darkseid will have a bigger role in editing the project, and will once again be portrayed by Ray Porter.
Although Snyder has previously stated that a Justice League sequel was not likely to happen, he recently declared that he would be open to discussions about it. “I think I would say, I would believe it when I see it,” he said. “I’m happy to cross that bridge when I see it approaching.”
