Ben Mendelsohn Rumored For Justice League Dark Villain Role

The latest in a recent string of casting rumors surrounding the Justice League Dark movie has Ben Mendelsohn being looked at to play the film’s villain, Anton Arcane.

According to Heroic Hollywood, Medelsohn's decision to take or pass on the role rests largely on who signs on to direct the film.

Medelsohn will be best recognized by superhero fans for his role as Daggett in The Dark Knight Rises. Since then, he’s had roles in Exodus: Gods and Kings and the Netflix series Bloodline, and has a role in the upcoming Star Wars standalone picture Rogue One.

Created by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson, Anton Arcane is the arch nemesis of Swamp Thing, rumored to be played by Ron Perlman in the film. In his original continuity, Arcane was a mad scientist who created a legion of monstrous henchman called the Un-Men. In the New 52, Arcane has a connection to the Rot, the force of death and decay in the DC Universe. He’s also the father of Abigail Arcane, Alec Holland/Swamp Thing’s love interest.

Justice League Dark is rumored to be going into production in 2016.

Megan Gale's Wonder Woman From George Miller's Unmade Justice League Movie

Thanks to Australian photographer Mark Rogers, we finally know what Megan Gale's Wonder Woman would have looked like in George Miller's defunct Justice League: Mortal movie.

In 2007, Warner Bros. was one-year removed from Bryan Singer's yawn-fest Superman Returns and had Christopher Nolan working on his masterpiece, The Dark Knight. At that same time, WB made a bold decision to make a Justice League film that would not feature Brandon Routh nor Christian Bale as Superman and Batman, respectively. They hired Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller to helm it and cast Armie Hammer as Batman, Adam Brody as The Flash, D.J. Cotrona as Superman, Megan Gale as Wonder Woman, Santiago Cabrera as Aquaman, Hugh Keays-Byrne as Martian Manhunter, Teresa Palmer as Talia Al Ghul, Jay Baruchel as Maxwell Lord, Common as John Stewart/Green Lantern, Anton Yelchin as Wally West, Zoe Kazan as Iris West and Stephen Tobolowsky as Alfred Pennyworth. In 2008, the film was on the verge of being filmed when WB had a change of heart and cancelled the project entirely.

Since then, a few pieces of concept art have surfaced here and there, but for the most part the look of the Justice League: Mortal superheros and villains are still a mystery. You can check out storyboards here.

However, the script leaked two years ago so at least we know it borrowed elements from JLA: Tower of Babel, Superman: Sacrifice, and Crisis on Infinite Earths #8. The gist? Batman compiled information on the weaknesses that his super-pals have for just in case they turn bad and need to be stopped. Maxwell Lord infiltrates the Batcave, steals the information and uses it against the Justice League.

Check out photos of Gale's Wonder Woman below.

Wonder Woman is being directed by Patty Jenkins (Monster) based on a screenplay by Jason Fuchs (Pan). Gal Gadot will star as Wonder Woman and Chris Pine (Star Trek Into Darkness) will costar as Steve Trevor. Wonder Woman is expected to begin filming later this month and will land in theaters on June 23, 2017.

Justice League Dark Rumored Frontrunners To Direct

The Justice League Dark rumor train continues chugging along with a new report said to reveal who is at the top of Warner Bros.' list to direct the film.

According to JoBlo, WB is looking for directors known for having a dark side. Prime contenders are the directing duo of Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado, who directed Big Bad Wolves, and Fede Alvarez, who directed the remake of Evil Dead.

Whoever is chosen will be sitting in a director’s chair originally intended for Guillermo Del Toro, another director with a knack for horror-fantasy. Del Toro dropped out of the film, but the project is still moving forward with his script.

Justice League Dark is rumored to begin production in 2016.

What? no!

Anton Arcane is Swamp Thing's arch nemesis and was always portrayed as significantly older than Alec Holland and his niece Abigail.

In New 52's Scott Snyder run Anton is Abigails bio dad (pre-Flashpoint he was her uncle/adopted dad) and he also has a son named William. That's the kid you're thinking about.

I wish the red was more vibrant so that it could complement the blue as opposed to contrast it like the muted red does. Live action superhero costumes in general but especially DC's could benefit from less muted colors and more eye popping ones. Otherwise I really like it. She nails the look IMO.

 

[Broddie]

Now I want to see Weta's Batman and Superman costumes for that project as well as Common's Green Lantern suit.

What's the name of this movie....it's hard to keep up with dc animated flicks,they drop back to back like no limit albums

Young justice

It's not a movie. Young Justice was a show that only had 2 seasons.

 

[Broddie]

You guys hear the rumor that dude on the left is playing Zatara (prominent DC magician and father of Zatanna). That actually makes a lot of sense especially with the rumor of Zatanna being more ethnic than even Italian in the DC movies.

 

[Maximus Rex]

What happened to all of those cats that were saying Gal Gadot was too thin to be Diana?

Why does this like a Golden Age Wonder Woman Suit?

Justice League Dark: Ron Perlman and Colin Farrell Rumored Up For Roles. I know that it could be done for a later project, but why put Diana waay the fuck in WW I? Why not put her in WW II so she could fuck with the JSA?

and that they're looking to diversify Zatanna with a black or hispanic actress.

I really wish these muthafuckas would stop doing this "diversity for diversity," sake. Am I suddenly suppose to go and run off and see Justice League Dark because Zatana is a black girl, a Mexican, or some indigenous looking person from Peru? If other movies, can be hella white, then why all of a sudden do superhero t.v. and film projects need established characters to have their race changed? The shit is insulting to people who always supported comics and to the causal film goer. Besides isn't the new incarnation of the Spectre a black dude? And as I've always said, if they need diversity, why not just create a new character. Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, and Diana, Princess of Themyscrica would never have their race changed, so why do Hollywood feel it's cool to change the race of lesser known characters? I guess it could be worse, at least they're not changing the character into a faggot.

Who are the New Wonder Woman Movie Castmembers?

Overnight, several new castmembers were announced for Wonder Woman, with the announcement that principal photography is officially underway. Only two characters have been officially announced so far, though, with Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Chris Pine as Captain Steve Trevor.

So who are the rest of the cast, and who might they be playing?

Robin Wright has quite the storied career - she was a working actress two years before Gal Gadot was born! Her early career included the titular role of Princess Buttercup in The Princess Bride, a long run on soap opera Santa Barbara and a couple of TV movies. Forest Gump gave her a big jump in her career, and it's been primarily one of fairly straight drama films. Her only real genre credits to date would be Princess Bride and Beowulf.

Who could Robin Wright be playing? Well, the Hollywood age could be right for her to play Queen Hippolyta, Wonder Woman's mother. She could also be any number of prominent Amazons or one of the Gods of Olympus. If the past component to the film, which is rumored to take place in two eras (and has a set picture to support that) is World War II (conflicting reports have said it's one or the other of the World Wars), then she could be a character like Baroness Paula Von Gunther, a Nazi spy who fought Wonder Woman a few times in the Golden Age of the comics. There's also rumors of Circe being a villain in the film, so that's always a possibility - this is the problem with speculating when you have next to no details about a movie - almost everything is possible.

Danny Huston, meanwhile, has a lot of genre work under his belt, from American Horror Story to Wrath of the Titans to X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and has even lent his voice to a DC animated movie as General Lane in The Flashpoint Paradox. He could be something as simple as an Army general like General Phil Darnell (or Blankenship, depending on which era or medium you're referencing), who has ties to both Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor, or as imposing as Ares, another rumored villain for the film.

David Thewlis is probably best known to our fans as Remus Lupin in the Harry Potter series. He's also in this year's new Macbeth film as Duncan. He certainly has a godly air to him, but no specific character jumps out at first glance.

Ditto for the lithe Ewen Bremner. As Spud in Trainspotting, he wore a Superman t-shirt, so perhaps this is him fulfilling his DC Comics movie destiny, 20 years later.

Elena Anaya is a Spanish actress with only a couple of English speaking/Hollywood roles, including Van Helsing. If earlier rumors about Circe were true, namely that they were looking at an actress like Eva Green for the role, Anaya would certainly fit that bill with her stunning looks and screen presence.

The last new member of the cast announced was Lucy Davis, a veteran comedy actress from the original The Office, Shaun of the Dead, and much more. The character that jumps out here is Etta Candy, who is typically Wonder Woman's best friend, and has appeared in multiple eras. This is probably the safest bet.

Saïd Taghmaoui was also confirmed in the castlist, after he let that slip with his now-deleted tweet from the set (oops). He told a French publication his character is, "Un personnage de super héros gentil." Now, many have taken that as him saying he's playing a super hero, which the literal translation can support, but it could also be him saying he's just a "nice, heroic character," or simply, a good guy. If he is playing a super hero, well, it's fairly hard to figure out who. Some speculation has fallen on him being Giovanni Zatara, the father of Zatanna and an accomplished magic user himself - if Circe and Ares are indeed the villains, having a mystic in your corner would help. The copious workouts and shape he's gotten into doesn't seem very necessary for a guy who uses spells though. We'll go out on a limb here and suppose he could be Lennox, the British super-soldier revealed as Wonder Woman's half-brother in the most recent New 52 era of the comics. He can turn himself to living marble, a visually interesting power, for sure.

As production begins in earnest, more information will surely both leak out and be revealed officially soon. We should note as well, that Nicole Kidman was reportedly in talks for the film, but did not appear on this cast list.
