Warner Bros have sent out their 2017 movie preview to members of the press and Batman News was able to it their hands on a copy, or find a copy that was leaked. Either way, it has some interesting information regarding Justice League.

First, Lex Luther will be making a return. Eisenberg did say he would be making an appearance, but now it’s been officially confirmed in this Warner Bros press release.

Next was some new info and Connie Nielson, who plays Queen Hippolyta in Wonder Woman, will also be appearing in Justice League.

Finally, Justice League writer Chris Terrio has been given an exclusive producer credit (it probably means nothing, but it’s worth noting). It’s also the first time DC Films co-leaders Jon Berg and Geoff Johns have been named as producers in this DCEU.

It’s no surprise Eisenberg will be starring as Lex Luther again, and I don’t think he’ll be in the film for long. Maybe one or two scenes, one of them will be used in a future trailer telling Batman something huge is coming to Earth and there’s no stopping it.

Elsewhere, with Queen Hippolyta, I’d guess she’ll be in the opening monologue about the mother boxes and maybe seeing her battle parademons on Themyscira.

Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of his unprecedented league of heroes – Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash – it may already be too late to save the planet for an assault of catastrophic proportions.
