In the first full Justice League trailer—amid all the blaring guitars, mood lighting, and gruff Batman quips—we don’t get many specifics about the threat the heroes are going up against. However, in a new interview with The Independent, Ciarán Hinds shared some details regarding bad guy Steppenwolf, the Darkseid henchman he’s tasked with playing. “He’s old, tired, still trying to get out of his own enslavement to Darkseid, [but] he has to keep on this line to try and take over worlds,” Hinds said. Zack Snyder loves nothing more than a superhero—or villain—going through an existential crisis. So the man who gave us a world-weary Batman will now add a world-weary Steppenwolf to his repertoire.
