DC Extended Universe actor Harry Lennix has teased his role as Martian Manhunter for Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League.
Justice League sadly went through a lot during its production. The course of the film was changed mid-production thanks partly to the mixed reception to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Director Zack Snyder later had to vacate the director’s chair due to a personal tragedy, leading Avengers director Joss Whedon to take over production who supervised several rewrites and reshoots to the film that saw many elements cut out. One such element was apparently the reveal that Harry Lennix’s General Swanwick was in fact J’onn J’onzz, The Martian Manhunter.
Fans had speculated for some time that Harry Lennix’s character was the Martian Manhunter for some time. This was eventually confirmed to be the case by both Zack Snyder and Harry Lennix and the reveal was meant to happen in Justice League. Sadly Harry Lennix’s role was cut entirely out of Justice League. With Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League making it’s way to HBO Max, however, we just may see this play out and Harry Lennix seems to be teasing it.
In a recent post, Harry Lennix wrote about the Zack Snyder’s cut of Justice League in a cryptic way that seemed to tease his role in the upcoming version of the film. Later a fan responded to this post with a drawing of Martian Manhunter and the actor responded with a winky face. You can see the full posts below:
