Ray Porter’s appearance as Darkseid was reportedly removed from Justice League's theatrical version. The baddie was supposed to be the main antagonist but as Joss Whedon boarded the project, his presence did not make it to the big screen. Steppenwolf took over as the main negative character and was trashed by the audiences.

Zack Snyder's Justice League teaser was released a few months ago. It gave a small glimpse of Ray Porter as Darkseid. The DC villain is said to be a larger impact on the Snyder Cut. Gal Gadot as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman was seen terrified looking at his painting. Darkseid was seen standing in a battleground.

Darkseid is considered as one of the deadliest villain in DC Comics. He is the tyrant ruler of the planet Apokolips with the ultimate goal 'to conquer the universe and eliminate all free will along with sentient beings'. In the comics, Darkseid becomes a staple Superman nemesis and the archenemy of the league. Darkseid has appeared in DC animated universe and would make his live-action debut in Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
