Zack Snyder's Justice League looks set to be a vastly different experience to the version that landed in theaters back in 2017, and Steppenwolf has received a total overhaul. In fact, he's downright unrecognisable, and we've now got a closer look at the villain thanks to some new DC Shop merchandise.
As you can see, Steppenwolf has gone from looking cartoonish to a total badass, and that axe of his looks quite a bit deadlier this time around. He's also surrounded by the Mother Boxes, so those devices will clearly remain a focal point of Snyder's version of the movie (which isn't really a major surprise).
Ciaran Hinds will return to voice the villain (as far as we know, anyway) but Darkseid is also set to have a role in the proceedings this time. However, the ruler of Apokolips is only expected to appear during those flashback scenes, potentially during the Knightmare sequences, and definitely in the final battle. With any luck, Steppenwolf will be fleshed out quite a bit more this time around.
He first appeared in a deleted scene from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice when we saw him communicating with Lex Luthor, so that's definitely something this cut of Justice League can touch on and expand.
