Superhero film "Justice League" release is in November 2017 and it is pretty clear that Warner Brothers (WB) are making the movie with great diligence. The impressive cast is well suited for the roles and now two new actors have also joined the team.
A Russian Twitter account with the name CutTheCrapTV claims that Colin Farrell, who stars in WB's "Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them," and "Game of Thrones" actor Michiel Huisman, who played the character of Daario Naharis, are up for roles in the upcoming movie. The source of the information is certainly not very reliable, but it might have some grain of truth as Farrell was rumored to be cast as Constantine in the "Justice League Dark" movie at some point of time.
Since the project did not take off and WB announced an animated "Justice League Dark," it could have been that the thought of casting Farrell in some other role in the 2017 movie. As for Huisman, cinematographer Fabian Wagner of "Justice League" was also the director of photography in HBO's "Game of Thrones" and it is possible that he recommended Huisman for some role.
Though there is no information regarding the roles the actors will be essaying, it is being said that the two will have a substantial presence, according to Cinema Blend. The principal photography for the movie is underway in London and the producers are tight lipped about the plot. But it is expected to revolve around the superheroes fighting a battle against Steppenwolf, the main antagonist.
It is worth mentioning here that Farrell has tried his hand in the comic book genre before. He played the role of an assassin in the 2003 movie "Daredevil," but his over-the-top portrayal did not go down well with everyone and he received mixed response for his performance. Therefore, it would be quite a pleasant thing to see the talented actor try once more and do justice to the genre.
"Justice League" hits theaters on November 17, 2017 and is being directed by Zack Snyder. The movie is said to be the fifth installment in the Extended Universe of DC.
