A new image fromJustice Leaguehas been unveiled, giving us a look atBen Affleck’s Batman andGal Gadot’s Wonder Woman chillaxin’ and pondering some superhero-related stuffs. Indeed, the film opens in theaters in just about a month and a half, but we’re still somewhat at a lack of knowledge about what exactly is going on in this movie. The marketing campaign was no doubt hindered by the extensive reshoots that took place whenJoss Whedonstepped in as director, since Warner Bros. didn’t exactly know what footage would be making the final cut until a bit later in the process.
This new image is a tease of the kind of camaraderie we can expect from the characters, and if I had to guess I’d say this may have come from the Whedon reshoots if only because the image lacks the stylization or grit of Snyder’s frames. But I absolutely could be wrong.
The image was unveiled byEmpire, which has aJustice League-centric issue hitting newsstands this Friday in which the cast share some insight about the movie. Gadot for her part insists it’s much lighter thanBatman v Superman, saying “Justice Leagueis not a dark or heavy movie. It doesn’t have the weight thatBatman v Supermanhad.”
Affleck, meanwhile, touts the immense scale:
“The movie’s bigger in scale than any movie I’ve been involved with in my career,” says Affleck. “It feels massive in terms of the visual elements. That’s something that Zack (Snyder, director) is really good at. That will be admired.”
But Batfleck wasn’t all business, as he took a moment to joke aboutHenry Cavill’sinfamous mustache—since the reshoots weren’t intended to go on this long, Cavill contractually had to keep his mustache to continue filmingMission: Impossible 6, so it will be digitally removed fromJustice League:
“It was a full-on porn-star moustache,” jokes Affleck. “He looked like a porn star from the ’70s, just with a better body. It’s a different twist [on Superman].”
Check out the new photo below, and expect far more information aboutJustice Leagueto arrive in the coming weeks. The film opens in theaters on November 17th.
