The footage includes a brief clip from the theatrical cut of Justice League, showing the Batarang of Ben Affleck’s Batman, Lois Lane holding Superman’s suit from Man of Steel, and Wonder Woman holding her shield in a scene fromBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Arthur Curry emerging from the waterfalls in the first Aquaman movie were also featured. Finally, Harley Quinn walking away after destroying Ace Chemicals in Birds of Prey ends the montage.
Dwayne Johnson has been hyping up a “new era” for the DCEU, and the actor’s remark is widely expected to pay off in the film. Rumors have suggested that Henry Cavill’s Superman could be making a return as well.
Warner Bros. also revealed the official movie poster featuring Dwayne Johnson as Teth Adam aka Black Adam.
