Deathstroke is Reportedly the Main Villain of Ben Affleck’s BATMAN Movie; First Look Revealed

Deathstroke has been heavily rumored to join the DC Extended Universe for some time. He was expected to show up in Suicide Squad at some point, but that never happened. Meanwhile, Arrow‘s Marc Guggenheim confirmed that the character wasn’t going to return to the show, due to DC utilizing him for “another project.” Now, Slade Wilson is officially coming to the big screen.

Batman actor Ben Affleck posted the following video on both Twitter and Facebook, offering a first look at Deathstroke. The Wrap has also revealed that Slade Wilson will be the main antagonist in Affleck’s Batman movie. Additionally, Justice League is still shooting, and this video is said to be shot in the Flying Fox. So, is Deathstroke in that film as well?

Also, it’s unclear which actor is playing Deathstroke. I’m sure we’ll see some clarification on this soon. Stay tuned.
