The Justice League live-action movie will be directed by Zack Snyder and it stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Ray Fisher, Jason Momoa and Ezra Miller.

The latest details for the "Justice League" live-action film will feature a possible appearance of Green Lantern in part one, the roster formation of the team and a lighter tone for the film.

Warner Bros. and DC comics latest film "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" is already out in cinemas and for those who have watched it sees how the DC superheroes like Diana Prince/Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Barry Allen/The Flash (Ezra Miller), Arthur Curry/Aquaman (Jason Momoa) etc. will eventually form the Justice League in the DC Extended Universe.

Film director Zack Snyder told IGN that he thought long and hard on which character he should bring in the "Justice League" movie and to him those were the heavy hitters in the roster such as Superman, Bataman, Wonder Woman, The Flash etc., although he added that there is room for more heroes in the League and have a little back for the next "shock of awesomeness".

So far, six members have been featured in main roster of the "Justice League" movie with Green Lantern not yet added to roster. It was through Bruce Wayne/Batman's (Ben Affleck) "dream sequence" that he must find other metahumans in the world and Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) has a been researching on them if ever they became a threat. With the death Clark Kent/Superman (Henry Cavill) in "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice", Batman with the help of Wonder Woman must seek out these individuals as a far greater threat lurks in the dark reaches of space.

Snyder wanted Bruce Wayne to set up the "Justice League" as he stated that if Superman was around would be a different story. Bruce Wayne havinv to find these individuals will have a very interesting take in the film.

Executive producer Deborah Snyder added that the "Justice League" movie will be lighter than tone than "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" because of the characters themselves as one specific hero will bring a little humor in it, hinting at Barry Allen/The Flash.
