Jones ' range is a cropped adaptation of the behind - the - scenes photo thatSnyder had posted on the social media app Vero a few day ago(as part of his on-going personal merchandising campaign forJustice League , posting one behind - the - view pic per day ) . At the clock time , it was easy to limit that the character in the picture was King Atlan , though it was unclear that Jones was the one in the costume , plausibly due to the fact that he was ( literally ) covered from forefront - to - toe in Atlantean armor , while also frolic a long beard .

The picture itself was a behind - the - scene see atthe flick ’s ancient prologue sequence , which depicts the New Gods ' first state of war with Earth thousands of year before the events ofJustice League . Considering that Jones is playing the Atlantean Martin Luther King during that successiveness , that means he wo n’t be appearing anytime in the present day ( or hereafter ) . However , audiences will still see a statue of Jones ' character when Arthur Curry travels back down to Atlantis to retrieve his ( read : Atlan ’s ) armor for the team ’s ultimate showdown with Steppenwolf and his Parademon army .
