We’ll see when the Justice League movie hits theaters on November 17, 2017, and probably more so in Justice League 2 on June 14, 2019.
There had been plenty of rumors that Darkseid would have some presence in Justice League, but this description implies a pretty heavy presence, at least in one scene.
However, he won’t be the main bad guy facing the members of the Justice League this time around.
Earlier in the year, Heroic Hollywood reported that Darkseid would appear in some sort of flashback sequence in Justice League. Now a new report from The Wrap appears to confirm that he will appear in the prologue of the movie.
