The Exciting Possibilities of a Surprising Superhero Cameo in Zack Snyder's Justice League

The anticipation for Zack Snyder's version of Justice League is building, and with it, the speculation around a potential surprise cameo. Seemingly every cast member has received a promotional teaser, except for one: Green Lantern. The question now is, who could step into the spotlight in this epic superhero film?

Why Green Lantern?

Green Lantern, undeniably, is the most powerful member of the Justice League. It's easy to see why they might choose him for a cameo, but there are several reasons why other heroes might be more likely. Firstly, there are the words of the director himself: 'Snyder has said he didn’t want any member to be more popular than Batman, Superman, or Wonder Woman.' This didn't stop the teasers for the other heroes, so it seems there might be a change of heart.

However, the lack of promotion for John Stewart, the most prominently featured Green Lantern, is a tricky point. Every other hero has been teased extensively: Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and even Supergirl got shoutouts. John Stewart's name was teased in the 2011 movie and was a possibility for Justice League as well. Yet, his arrival has not been promoted in the same manner, which is rather disappointing for fans.

Darkseid's Possible Impact

Another possibility is the notorious Darkseid. If he appears, his presence could have fascinating consequences. Characters like Shazam might come into play, leading into Black Adam. Darkseid's attack could involve Granny Goodness, the Queen of Apokolips. This scenario would have a significant impact on close-combat heroes, keeping them at bay.

When Green Lantern, with his advanced technology, enters the battlefield, Darkseid's forces could start to dwindle. A release of some toxin could be countered by Green Lantern's access to the Book of Oa, changing the dynamics of the fight. Conflicts with Kryptonians and Shazam would add unpredictability to the storyline.

Possibilities for Other Superheroes

While Green Lantern is an obvious choice, many other heroes could fit the bill. Superhero enthusiasts and speculation enthusiasts have proposed a range of characters, from the obscure to the familiar.

Steel, played by Shaquille O'Neal, is a notable choice, but most people seem to be hoping for a different Green Lantern. Hal Jordan and John Stewart are the most likely candidates, but any of them could fit the part. It would be thrilling to see Guy Gardner, Kyle Rayner, Simon Baz, or Jessica Cruz in this cinematic adventure.

Other possibilities include:

Martian Manhunter: He has already been confirmed, so this seems unlikely. Supergirl: The recent announcement of a new actress for Supergirl in the upcoming Flash movie makes the original character's inclusion less likely. Harley Quinn: Her presence would add an interesting twist. Black Canary: Her inclusion would be well-received. Shazam: His cameo would be a big treat for fans. Atom's Ryan Choi: Potential, but less likely as he might not suit up. Booster Gold: He already has a connection to the DCEU, making him a strong contender. Orion or Mister Miracle: Their connection to Darkseid makes them a logical choice. Big Barda: An excellent and powerful addition. Plastic Man, Hawkman, Hawkwoman, Lobo, and Animal Man: Possible, but less likely. Green Arrow: Exciting if played by Stephen Amell, though Charlie Hunnam is also proposed.

Highfather: Morgan Freeman playing Highfather would be a dream for many fans. If not Steel, this would be a close second.

Conclusion

No matter who steps into the spotlight, the revelation of a surprise cameo in Zack Snyder's Justice League adds to the intrigue. The fact that the movie is even being made is a real treat. Excitement surrounds every character, and each possibility offers a unique twist to the epic tale. Until we know who it is, the speculation is half the fun.
