Justice League Cast Teases Superman’s Return
During the Warner Bros. panel today at San Diego Comic-Con, several stars of the DCEU subtly and not-so-subtly referenced the return of the Man of Steel.
In an exchange during the Q&A portion of the panel, a young boy asked the panel, “Where is Superman gonna be in this movie?" Wonder Woman actress Gal Gadot replied, “You’re a very smart boy."
Jason Momoa, star of the upcoming Aquaman film, chose a... different approach to the boy's question. "Son, I’m not sure if your parents showed you the last movie but Superman’s dead," Momoa said. "That’s your parents’ fault."
Momoa went on to defend his blunt reply to the room, "Hey guys that’s just the facts. My kids are here too. They know he’s not around.”
