Well, it looks like Jess Eisenberg IS back for Justice League after all as Lex Luthor and he’ll be joined by Wonder Woman’s Queen Hippolyta, played by Connie Nielsen.

Warner Bros. released their 2017 movie preview press kit which revealed the actors’ presence in the upcoming movie due on November 17th, 2017.

We know that for all the love and hate for Batman V Superman, Eisenberg was at the heart of it due to his portrayal of Lex, but we reckon, like Batman and Superman themselves, the next time we meet Lex he’ll be a changed man… and we can’t wait to see what that means.

The full release is below:

But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
