Way back in March we talked about Steppenwolf’s appearence in Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice and now it has been confirmed that Ciarán Hinds (Rome, Game of Thrones, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance , Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2) will be playing him (with some motion capture) in the upcoming Justice League movie.

Producer Charles Roven said “Before there was a history … mankind, the Atlanteans — before they were under water — the Amazonians and, actually, the old gods, teamed together and decided that — based on an event that happened — these mother boxes were going to be placed in the care of, as I say, the Amazonians, mankind and the Atlanteans, So that allows us to get into some of those environments.”
