The Justice League film has officially cast its villain!

Irish actor Ciarán Hinds, known to many as Mance Rayder on HBO’s Game of Thrones, will play Steppenwolf, The Wrap has learned exclusively.

Steppenwolf was first seen in a clip where Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) communicated with him via the technology on Zod’s ship, however, insiders say his appearance will be upgraded for Justice League.
