"I thought long and hard about who to bring in, like who the Justice League would be made up of, and to me those are the heavy hitters right now. Of course, there's room for some more, and I absolutely had to keep some back for the next little shock of awesomeness. Those guys felt like the guys who needed to surface," the "Watchmen" filmmaker said.
Meanwhile, Chris Terrio, who co-wrote BVS with David S. Goyer, offers a much detailed glimpse on what is about to transpire in this highly anticipated superhero showdown.
In his conversation with the Wall Street Journal, he revealed that he had already written JL Part One which for him is "the most rigorous intellectual exercise I've had in my writing life."
"For 'Justice League,' I could be reading in the same day about red- and blueshifts in physics, Diodorus of Sicily and his account of the war between Amazons and Atlanteans, or deep-sea biology and what kind of life plausibly might be in the Mariana Trench," he told WSJ.
He added that he expect "Justice League" to be "tonally not quite dark" as BVS.
For Part Two, there's a possibility that he might not be penning it.
Stay tuned for more updates.
