Part 2/8:
One of the most significant revelations came when Zack Snyder shared a high-resolution image of the original Steppenwolf, the villain originally envisioned before Whedon’s re-cut. This glimpse shows a much more menacing, practically alien creature—an intimidating, technologically adorned beast that aligns with Snyder’s darker, more fantastical aesthetic.
The low-res image shared by Ray Porter, who is set to portray Darkseid in the Snyder cut, sparked excitement. Emphasizing the scene's placement in the film, Snyder confirmed that this shot occurs over an hour into the movie—specifically at the 1:01:37 mark—highlighting how much of the original backstory, character development, and villainous presence was cut from the theatrical version.
