Steppenwolf being the big bad of Justice League was met with something of a mixed response (especially from fans hoping to see the likes of Brainiac or Darkseid) but no matter which side you fall on, we now know that Game of Thrones and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance star Ciaran Hinds will play the character. According to The Wrap, he finished shooting the motion capture role fairly recently.
We caught a glimpse of Steppenwolf in a deleted scene from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but the trade adds that his appearance will have been upgraded by the time we see him in Justice League. A villain with close ties to Darkseid, it's thought that he'll be going after three Mother Boxes in the movie. Beyond that, very little is known about the sort of role the villain will end up playing here.
Do you think Hinds is a good choice for Steppenwolf? He certainly impressed in Game of Thrones, but he wasn't exactly too much fun to watch in movies like Hitman: Agent 47 and that Ghost Rider sequel.
