Steppenwolf was first hinted at in a scene that was deleted from the theatrical cut of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in which Lex Luthor examines the databanks of a Kryptonian ship. A three-dimensional image of Steppenwolf is then shown examining Mother Boxes. The scene was released online shortly after Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was released into theaters and was restored in the Ultimate Edition of the film.
Steppenwolf is the uncle of Darkseid, the tyrannical ruler of Apokolips, and one of Darkseid’s elite generals. It is theorized that Steppenwolf will lead the invasion of Earth in Justice League.
The first glimpse of Steppenwolf in action came via the Justice League trailer released at Comic-Con. Additional hints at the villain’s appearance have come through toys that have released early to retailers.

In Justice League, fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s (Henry Cavill) selfless act, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) enlists new found ally Diana Prince to face an even greater threat. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to recruit a team to stand against this newly awakened enemy. Despite the formation of an unprecedented league of heroes — Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash — it may be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Justice League opens in theaters on November 17, 2017.
