Willem Dafoe joins “Justice League” as a “good guy”April 20, 2016 - 10:34 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Willem Dafoe is joining the good guys in Justice League, The Hollywood Reporter reveals. The movie began production last week with Zack Snyder, fresh off a worldwide tour promoting Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, in the director’s chair. Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), the Flash (Ezra Miller) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher) are the super-powered characters who must team up to combat a threat beyond each member's capabilities. (Warner Bros. is playing it coy about whether the villain is classic DC bad guy Darkseid, who was hinted at in BvS.) Chris Terrio wrote the screenplay for Justice League, which will be released in two parts by Warner Bros. Justice League: Part One will hit theaters on Nov. 17, 2017, while Part Two is slated for release on June 14, 2019. In early March, the production added J.K. Simmons to the cast as the Gotham City Police Commissioner Gordon. Dafoe, who starred as the villainous Marvel character Green Goblin in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man movies, is playing a good guy in a role that will see him appear in both parts of the JL movies. Details of his character, however, are being kept under lock and key. Charles Roven, Snyder and Deborah Snyder are producing Justice League. Dafoe memorably appeared in the Keanu Reeves action movie John Wick and recently wrapped shooting Legendary’s fantasy The Great Wall with Matt Damon.
