‘Justice League’: Intense Darkseid Close-Up Concept Art For Snyder Cut Revealed

New concept art from the Snyder Cut of Justice League gives Darkseid an intense close-up.

After years of rallying from passionate fans, we finally got a chance to see the Snyder Cut of Justice League, which was for the most part a solid representation of director Zack Snyder’s original vision for the superhero team-up film. The 4-hour Snyder Cut featured elements that were completely omitted from the 2017 release, including the presence of one Darkseid (Ray Porter).

The Snyder Cut gave fans our first live-action interpretation of Darkseid, whose physical presence coupled with Ray Porter’s intimidating voice performance left fans wanting more from this take on the legendary DC Comics villain. Fans wanting to see some of the remarkable work from the artists on Justice League are in luck, with concept artist and creature designer Jerad S. Marantz revealing an unfinished, but still intense and detailed close-up of Darkseid.

You can check out Marantz’s Darkseid concept art from the Snyder Cut down below:

In the Snyder Cut, Darkseid was set up to be the ultimate antagonist for the Justice League to face off against in Zack Snyder’s proposed sequels. The character was also expected to appear in the now-shelved New Gods film from writer/director Ava DuVernay (Selma; When They See Us).

Here is the synopsis for the Snyder Cut:

“In ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE, determined to ensure Superman’s (Henry Cavill) ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) aligns forces with Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions.

Now united, Batman (Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and The Flash (Ezra Miller) may be too late to save the planet from Steppenwolf, DeSaad and Darkseid and their dreadful intentions.”
