While we are a few months away from the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, more news has come out regarding the upcoming director’s cut. Harry Lennix, who played Calvin Swanwick in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, will get to reprise the role for the upcoming Snyder Cut of the film with a twist, as Martian Manhunter.
While speaking with Collider, Harry Lennix confirmed that he wasn’t aware of Swanwick’s true nature for some time, and although he would have been revealed as Martian Manhunter in Justice League, he never got the chance to read the script.
“I never saw the script,” Snyder said. “I didn’t get a chance to read the script, because… they were still being developed, and they keep all of that under lock and key.”
Lennix revealed that he returned to shoot new footage for the Snyder Cut of Justice League last October and complete the grand design. In terms of how much Martian Manhunter we’ll get in the new cut, Lennix described the shoot as
a “small little thing” taking place on primarily on green-screen.
While time will tell on the final look, that’s someone I’d never thought would see appear in the Snyder Cut.
