While it’s been known for quite some time that Steppenwolf will be the big bad for Justice League, it’s likely that his nephew Darkseid will be taking center stage sooner or later, especially with the Mother Boxes also coming into play. Now, though, there’s some big news regarding the third Mother Box of humanity and how it will connect to Cyborg.
According to the latest issue of Total Film (via Screen Crush), not only has the human Mother Box granted Cyborg his powers but it has seemingly become part of the character, essentially pointing to Cyborg actually being the Mother Box himself. While the aforementioned Batman V Superman heavily hints at this being the case, this is the first time it’s been confirmed outright.
Again, this probably won’t surprise most fans, especially those who paid close attention to Batman V Superman. In the scene in which Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne character is watching the creation of Victor Stone’s Cyborg at the hands of his father, Dr. Silas Stone, the Mother Box does seemingly form on the character but it is a rather quick event that’s easy to miss.
Regardless, however it all plays out in Justice League, most fans are just hoping for a well-received film after both Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad took a critical thrashing in 2016. This could very well be DC’s year to finally change the minds of those doubting the creative direction of the films so far. Either way, it’ll be interesting to see how director Zack Snyder ties threads introduced in Batman V Superman into his Justice League film.
