Steppenwolf Action Figure Gives Best Look Yet At Justice League’s Villain

The marketing machine for Justice League is already in gear behind the scenes, and thanks to that process fans have been getting better looks at the film’s main villain Steppenwolf.

Spoilers obviously coming for Justice League, so you’ve been warned.

The latest comes in the form of a promotional photo of Steppenwolf’s main action figure (via Reddit). Shots leaked not too long ago of a two pack, but this one reveals the full image with helmet and weapon included. He bears a bit of resemblance to Wonder Woman’s Ares, though he opts for an ax as opposed to a sword.

You can find the picture below.

Steppenwolf will be played by actor Ciaran Hinds, who never had the chance to see a costume since it was created in its entirety by CGI.

“…I didn’t even have a costume when I was doing it [Justice League]. It’s all done in motion capture. So… they stick a helmet on your head, they put two cameras around, and they capture all your expressions, facial expressions. So basically, they’re going to concoct some kind of construction and they will use my facial expressions – eyes, mouth, voice – they’ll turn into this murderous, avenging Steppenwolf from the planet Apokolips, apparently. Who’s bent on Hell on Earth.”

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).
