Last year while Justice League was shooting, Batman star Ben Affleck shared a short clip on Twitter of Deathstroke teasing the villain’s entrance into the DC Extended Universe.
Joe Manganiello was cast, but in the end we only saw him at the very end of Justice League, in the post-credits scene.
Deathstroke is shown on speedboat heading for a luxury yacht, one which is owned by an escaped Lex Luthor.
Climbing aboard and removing his helmet, fans had their first glimpse of Joe as the baddie.
Now the star has shared a still on his Twitter account, complete with eye patch and grey goatee.
So what’s next for Deathstroke? Well in the same scene Luthor teases the Legion of Doom, a villainous alternative to Justice League.
Apart from this, the original plan was for Deathstroke to be the main villain in Affleck’s solo Batman movie, which was to be written and directed by him too.
However following big changes, War for the Planet of the Apes director Matt Reeves is now helming the project and it looks likely that Jake Gyllenhaal will become the new Dark Knight.
There’s currently no confirmation that Deathstroke will be the villain in this Batman movie, however last month saw news of a solo movie for Joe in the works.
Warner Bros have been in talks with The Raid director Gareth Evans, to head up the project, but nothing else is confirmed as of yet.
