Nick McKinless previously disclosed to CBM that he wasn't thrilled with having David Thewlis' face superimposed over his in Justice League but it seems that switch has had greater impact than just not being properly credited.  While the other actors who portrayed Zeus (Sergi Constance) and (Artemis) Aurore Lauzeral are receiving residuals from the film, he is not.  

Thanks to a deleted scene from Wonder Woman, murals in a Themyscira temple revealed that it was Darkseid who attacked the Earth all those years ago, not Steppenwolf.  At the time, Darkseid was going by the name Uxas and had not yet acquired the Omega Force, which transforms him into the Darkseid comic book fans know today.  Justice League was going to depict a more powerful "Uxas" returning to retrieve the Mother Boxes as part of a larger quest to discover the Anti-Life Equation.

Per McKinless, his attack on Steppenwolf, as seen in Justice League was supposed to be a 1-on-1 fight with Darkseid, where the Greek gods arrive to turn the tide of battle.

@KyoShiRo330 - This was the exact image I needed to see after coming home from a 2 hour gym session, if only to drive home the fact that I'm never going to get *there*

Why would he want to fight Darkseid while discussing contract woes ?Wouldn’t all that contract negotiations be distracting to the fight?

Not being credited sucks to be frank, and David Thewlis' Ares was shit anyway. An Ares vs Darkseid may have been cool to see but this whole Snyder cut business doesn't matter anymore. If anything it just shows that movie would have had too much going on.

More pieces to add to the mess that is Justice League. What a terrible handling of what could've been the next great universe to jump into. A JL movie should be the only other franchise that can fight for highest grossing of all time but it'll never get anywhere near there :/

@Kevwebsz - Should've got George Miller to come back and work on this new incarnation of JUSTICE LEAGUE with better effects, creative action, memorable characters, good dialogue...The list could go on that couldn't made something if Snyder or WB [frick]ed it up.

It’s sad to see that Flashback reduced to a two minute scene.
I read that it was originally in the start of the movie ( instead of that mutilated Superman face scene) and would’ve been about twenty minutes.
A damn shame we didn’t get to see that.
I hope WB eventually releases it.
