Right gang, rumour time!
But it’s a rumour we can get behind because, frankly, we love Jeff Bridges!
Ok, so here’s the deal. We know Irish actor Ciaran Hines is playing Steppenwolf in Justice League when it arrives this November but we also know from Batman V Superman and the reveal of the mega Symbol in the Knightmare sequence that Darkseid, the real big bad in the DC comics, is coming at some point to the DC Cinemamatic universe.
And now there’s a rumour floating around online that Jeff Bridges will play him… presumably through motion capture and voice acting.
Now we know Bridges has already played a Marvel villain in Iron Man as Obidiah Stain but we reckon he was killed off too soon there and this is his chance to be a long term threat in a comic book universe.
Up until now we had heard that DC were reluctant to use Darkseid as he is similar to Thanos in the Marvel universe but we reckon the audience can work it out, don’t you?
Bridges for Darkseid? Thoughts?
The Justice League arrives on Nov 17th.
According to rumors #JeffBridges will be playing #DarkSeid. What do you guys think of this? Do you want this to happen? pic.twitter.com/5f0ZQGRIFI

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….
