The Chinese trailer for the upcoming “Justice League” gives fans a sneak peek at the film’s villain Steppenwolf. Check out the video above.
“Long before I was born he came as the spearhead of an alien invasion,” narrates Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman. “This world will fall. Like all the others,” responds Steppenwolf. “Game of Thrones” star Ciaran Hinds plays Steppenwolf in DC Films’ upcoming ensemble superhero movie as TheWrap previously reported exclusively.
Three weeks out before its release, Warner Bros. and DC Films’ long-awaited superhero team-up, “Justice League,” is currently tracking to make $110-120 million in its opening weekend, according to industry estimates.

After “Thor” gets its release, expect tracking to go up after Warner comes in with a full marketing blitz for “Justice League.” Strong reviews and word-of-mouth will also be critical, as this summer saw rave reviews and audience excitement make “Wonder Woman” into the movie of the summer and one of the longest lasting films in theaters.
“Justice League” will see Batman (Ben Affleck) team up with the full stable of DC superheroes, including Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Mamoa), The Flash (Ezra Miller), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), and the returning Superman (Henry Cavill) to battle Steppenwolf (Ciaran Hinds).
Amy Adams, J.K. Simmons, Diane Lane, Jeremy Irons Connie Stevens also star. Zack Snyder directed the film with assistance from Joss Whedon, who stepped in to complete production after the death of Snyder’s daughter, Autumn, last spring.
