Ben Affleck is currently in London reprising his role as Bruce Wayne and Batman director Zack Snyder?s next DC Extended Universe film, Justice League. Affleck has now sent the comic book-loving masses into a frenzy by, without warning, releasing a video of the DC Comics villain Deathstroke on the Justice League movie set. However, the identity of the actor playing Slade Wilson and Deathstroke in the movie--and his role in the Justice League narrative--remains a mystery for the time being. According to ScreenRant, many fans were quick to speculate that this Deathstroke video is actually test footage for the Batman solo movie that Affleck is slated to direct. While that isn?t the case, there?s a good reason why Affleck was the one to unveil the DCEU version of Deathstroke. The Wrap is reporting that Deathstroke will serve as the main villain in Affleck?s solo Batman movie.
