In an interview with Collider, the actor revealed that the upcoming Zack Snyder’s Justice League will feature the original end credits scene for Deathstroke, which at one point was meant to set up Ben Affleck’s solo Batman movie.
According to Joe Manganiello, the original Justice League end credits scene with Deathstroke would have led directly into Affleck’s Batman movie, which makes sense since Deathstroke and Batman had had a long and interesting rivalry in the comics, and fans would have loved to have seen the two face-off onscreen.
It will be interesting to see what Snyder’s original plan for Deathstroke had been at the end of Justice League, and how it would have set up Affleck’s Batman movie.
The original director’s cut of the movie, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, will premiere exclusively on HBO Max in 2021.
