New Justice League Steppenwolf Details From Ciaran Hinds

Following Henry Cavill revealing new Superman details, now actor Ciaran Hinds reveals new details about the villain of the Justice League, Steppenwolf, from the official Justice League magazine.

“I guess you’d call him a super-villain,” Hinds says. “He hails from the planet of Apokolips and he is the general of the Apokoliptian army who has come to take the world. For thousands of years he’s been in search of the Mother Boxes, which are all-powerful entities. He’s in search of all-power, and that’s his journey. His powers are physical rather than any form of mental agility. His real powers are wielded through his extraordinary axe weapon. When he chooses to use it, it creates mayhem and it decimated everything around it.”

On the Mother Boxes:

“There’s one under the sea with the Atlanteans, there’s one in the hands of the Amazons, and one with mankind. They don’t even know what’s inside of it, they just know it’s protected and must never get out of their hands,” Ciaran Hinds offers.

Boom Tube confirmed!

“Yes – it’s like a transporter, or a super shuttle that goes between universes. It transports people quickly from another place and places them in a certain location,” Hinds says.

More on Steppenwolf:

“He is not a fearful man at all, because he believes he can handle anything. He wishes to create fear – not just that people should be afraid of him, but I think he gets pleasure out of it. If you come from the planet Apokolips we’re all super beings – so Super Heroes are nothing,” Hinds adds.

Justice League has a November 17, 2017 release directed by Zack Snyder, with the story by Chris Terrio and Zack Snyder, the screenplay by Chris Terrio and Joss Whedon, and stars Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon and Willem Dafoe an Atlantean, Nuidis Vulko.

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
