When Willem Dafoe was cast in Justice League as a "good guy," it was hard to figure out just who he might be playing. Well, a new rumor says he'll be playing an Atlantean - but no word on exactly whom.

As far as famous Atlanteans go, there are few - especially when it comes to heroes. The most logical options seem to be that he would be some kind of high-up government aid to Arthur, or perhaps some version of the sorcerer Atlan - before he goes all corrupt and evil, of course.

The rumor at BMD goes on to say they're altering the underwater scenes for Justice League and Aquaman with green screens and elaborate rigs instead of a water tank (the latter of which, thanks to his whole "ability to breathe underwater" power, requires a lot of breath-holding by star Jason Momoa). The green screen use will continue with much of Justice League, as Snyder plans to utilize it similarly to 300.

Justice League is filming now for a November 17, 2017 release.
