There's no question that DC Comics' Darkseid is among the most notorious and iconic supervillains of all time. While the character has been a fan favorite for decades, Darkseid was catapulted into the mainstream conversation after Zack Snyder's Justice League released back in 2021, becoming one of the most recognizable DC villains to date.
Recently, there's been renewed discussion around the polarizing Zack Snyder’s Justice League, which has sparked fresh hope among Snyderverse fans that a new film could eventually coexist alongside James Gunn’s new DC Universe. Interest has grown in recent months after the film has seen strong streaming performance, and fans are hopeful for a possible return that fleshes out the unfinished storylines involving Darkseid, Batman, and the "Knightmare" future.
While there are currently no confirmed plans for Snyder-directed DC films, some fans believe DC could eventually treat his universe continuity as an alternate that runs parallel to Gunn’s rebooted franchise, and possibly see a return of Snyder's portrayal of beloved and iconic characters. Until then, fans will want to mark their calendars for an incredible upcoming Justice League release featuring Darkseid, slated for a January 2027 launch (via Pure Arts).
Darkseid is making an epic 2027...
