GAME OF THRONES' Michael McElhatton Drops Clues On His JUSTICE LEAGUE Role
Michael McElhatton, best known in the States for playing Roose Bolton on Game of Thrones, has a role in WB's Justice League but isn't revealing who he's playing- only when his character shows up.
Another Game of Thrones alum has revealed that he has a role in Justice League. Michael McElhatton, best known for playing Roose Bolton on HBO's fantasy drama, has confirmed a role in Justice League, however, he's remaining mum on exactly who he's playing.
What the Irish actor did choose to divulge is that his character will appear during the film's opening. Fans keeping abreast of details on the film should are no doubt well aware of the rumor that Justice League opens with a gigantic battle between the forces of Apokolips and a combined army of Atlanteans, Amazons, humans and possibly Thanagarians over three Motherboxes that subsequently get scattered around the planet.
Beside McElhatton, Ciarin Hinds is confirmed to be playing Steppenwolf, leader of the Apokolips military. Could Zack Snyder look to establish a theme, with various Game of Thrones alum playing prominent figures in the Apokolips hierarchy? Could the opening flashback see Yuga Khan (Steppenwolf's brother and Darkseid's father) sitting on the Apokolips throne? Or might we see the Greek pantheon also riding to war against the other-worldly invaders?
