In an interview with USA Today, director Zack Snyder confirms that we'll get our first glimpse of a bunch of Justice League characters in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."
Fans were thrilled when the director confirmed that Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) would debut in the film. Now, Snyder has confirmed that even more DC heroes will appear in the March blockbuster. Including Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill), we'll also get glimpses of The Flash (Ezra Miller), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), and Cyborg (Ray Fisher).
"I love Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman, but having Flash and Aquaman and Cyborg and to see them all standing together, it's a pretty dorky and cool experience for me," Snyder told USA Today.
"Batman v Superman" will not only tease the crossover Justice League film due out 2017, which will unite all the heroes, but also tie into "Suicide Squad," out August 5.
Starring Jared Leto as The Joker, Will Smith as Deadshot, and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, the adaptation follows a team of supervillains tasked with taking down an even bigger villain.
"Basically every one of those characters has a logo that you would recognize without them standing there, and that's a hard thing to achieve in this pop-culture world. We have history to draw on, but we also have these new frontiers to forge," said Snyder.
These new frontiers include two Justice League movies and solo films for Wonder Woman, The Flash, Batman, Aquaman, and Cyborg — making for a total of seven films between now and 2020.
"There's a whole world of fantasy in comic books, and if you just focus on one small portion of it, you're never going to get the full magic of it,"added Superman actor Henry Cavill, speaking about the new cinematic universe DC is creating. "Now that we're introducing all these other characters and really building the universe to a far larger place than just a simple alien's life on Earth, it really makes it extraordinarily interesting."
"Batman v Superman" will be in theaters March 25.
