Managing director Zack Snyder has unveiled a sneak peek at the new Steppenwolf design for (the tentative title) Justice League by Zack Snyder. This new look at the DCEU villain comes just two weeks ahead of his appearance at the DC FanDome event on August 22nd.
On Saturday night, Snyder hopped on the VERO app to share a still of his new Steppenwolf design. Along with the photo, he shared these rather poignant remarks: “Just work today. Get this out of the newsroom. Sorry he’s low resolution but I’ve seen him in all his glory and he’s a thing to see. Elle Quick question … how many f @ * ks do you think he gives ??? ”
The new Steppenwolf design is definitely a sight to behold, and makes this mom (box) lover look more fierce than her 2017 counterpart. While he generally takes the same shape as the 2017 Steppenwolf, this Snyder Cut Steppenwolf, he , spikier, and he also seems to be taller. All in all, he does not look like anyone with paths.
This new Steppenwolf design also marks the second time that Snyder has shared a new character design with DCEU fans, with the director sharing images of Superman’s black suit and a new Darkseid design in recent months. Snyder has been giving us little sneak peeks since he announced his Justice League Snyder Cut would come to HBO Max next year. Among the most exciting of the sneak peeks (in this opinion of the author, at least) was the short clip with Gal Gadot‘s Wonder Woman and Jesse Eisenberghis Lex Luthor voice-over. The new Steppenwolf design, in addition to these other peeks behind the Snyder Cut curtain, will have fans mightily curious to see what he’s proud of in two weeks at DC FanDome.
Justice League by Zack Snyder will be released on HBO Max in 2021. You can take a closer look at the new Steppenwolf design below. See for more where Steppenwolf ranks in the DC Villains rankings compiled by Collider’s own Vinnie Mancuso.
