Jason Momoa & Gal Gadot Respond To Young Fan About Superman's Whereabouts

Fans got plenty of new footage of Justice League at San Diego Comic-Con, but a certain Kryptonian did not make an appearance.

After the footage was shown, a young fan asked the assembled panel about the Man of Steel's absence, and Aquaman's Jason Momoa filled him in, saying "I'm not sure if your parents showed you the last movie, but SUPERMAN IS DEAD."

Superman met his end at the end of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice at the hands of Doomsday, but not before taking the monstrosity down. Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot didn't reveal if fans would be seeing him in Justice League, but she did give the young fan some hope.

Gadot said, "We can't say much, but if you're a big fan of Superman you're going to love Justice League."

The Man of Steel has been featured in several posters for Justice League, but he's been absent from any footage and trailers thus far. Steppenwolf was treated the same way until today, so odds are Superman is being saved for the big promotional push in October and November.

You can check out the newest trailer for Justice League above, and the description is included below.

In Justice League, 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.

Justice League is directed by Zack Snyder, from a screenplay by Chris Terrio, and features an ensemble cast that includes Ben Affleck (Batman), Henry Cavill (Superman), Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), Ezra Miller (The Flash), Jason Momoa (Aquaman), Ray Fisher (Cyborg), Ciarán Hinds (Steppenwolf), Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Diane Lane (Martha Kent), Jeremy Irons (Alfred Pennyworth), J.K. Simmons (Commissioner Gordon), Amber Heard (Mera), Kiersey Clemons (Iris West) and Jesse Eisenberg (Lex Luthor).

Wonder Woman is in theaters now, and will be followed by Justice League on November 17, 2017; Aquaman on July 27, 2018; Shazam on April 5, 2019; Justice League 2 on June 14, 2019; Cyborg on April 3, 2020; and Green Lantern Corps on July 24, 2020.
