Deathstroke will have a bigger role to play in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, with a recent promo featuring the character’s new look, mohawk and all.
A new promo for Zack Snyder’s Justice League features Deathstroke, played by Joe Manganiello, and the character’s new look.
Deathstroke’s look in the Snyder Cut of Justice League is drastically different than what was featured in the end credits of the 2017 theatrical release. As part of Snyder’s original vision, the 30-second trailer offers a closeup of the mercenary’s new mohawk and battle-worn armor. Don’t worry, though: that eyepatch will never go out of style.
Manganiello debuted this new look in Nov. 2020, but this is the first time the mercenary and his new haircut have been featured in promos for the Justice League, which have been steadily released in the days leading up to the four-hour film’s HBO Max debut. Manganiello has stated in the past that there is an in-story reason for his character’s new look, though it has not yet been confirmed.
A haircut isn’t the only new character concept for Deathstroke, as it was also confirmed that the Snyder Cut will feature an unlikely partnership between him and Ben Affleck’s Batman.
The synopsis for Zack Snyder’s Justice League reads:
