UPDATE: The Wrap has confirmed Latino Review's scoop, and echoed Variety's note that Darkseid will also appear in Justice League: Forever Evil next year. However, despite the many characters already in Marc Webb's upcoming Justice League sequel, The Wrap adds that Darkseid "will have a more prominent role" in that film than he does in Legion Of Superheroes. What do you think?
DC's Legion Of Superheroes expands the DC Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Rokk Krin finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Mordru, a powerful sorcerer with ambitions that threaten the entire universe. To evade the ever-persistent Mordru, Krinn is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits–Brainiac 5, an intelligent robot, Chameleon, a shapshifting alien, the telepathic and enigmatic Saturn and the galaxies most-wanted Garth Ranzz. But when Rokk discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand - with the galaxy’s fate in the balance. DC's Legion Of Superheroes is presented by DC Entertainment and stars Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner, Kodi Smitt-Mcphee, Timothee Chalamet as Brainiac 5, Charlie Rowe as Chameleon, Oscar Isaac, Nicholas Hoult, Evan Peters, Patrick Stewart with Woody Harrelson, Glenn Close as Commander Rael and James Remar as Mongul. Distributed by Warner Bros. Motion Pictures, the film opens August 1, 2014.
