DoJ Leaguehas yet to be released , but fans can already confirm one cameo from the originalSupermanmovie serial . And afterBatman v Supermanfound a small part for everyone ’s favorite photojournalist , Jimmy Olsen -reallysmall , killed off - screen before he was even named- the longtime fans of the Man of Steel will be happy to see the actor who made Jimmy Olsen a paladin get his prison term in the public eye . allow ’s all promise for a better effect this clock time .
worker Marc McClure had previouslyteased aJustice Leaguemovie cameo , and fresh footage has revealed his role in the DC squad - up . Apparently , Mr. Olsen has turn in his press credentials for a badge in the DC movie universe , seem as one of the police officer at the Superman commemoration in Metropolis . A occupation that lands him an up close and personal confluence with the cybernetically - enhanced hoagie of the League , Cyborg .
The McClure cameo can be reassert thanks to the arrival ofJustice League ’s Wonder Woman & Cyborg week , putting the DC ’s most successful movie hero beside the least - known new member ( away from animation , anyway ) . Prior footage of the moving picture had shown Cyborg saving police officer from a flying car at that Metropolis fix , but the new shot gives a clearer look at the cop in question .
Hat tip toTheFliteCaston Twitter for spotting the cameo :
We ca n’t quite make out the name on McClure ’s character ’s badge , which is almost sure going to double - down on the Easter Egg ( especially afford the turn ofDC credit Snyder load down intoBvS ) . Perhaps even a nod to theoriginalJimmy , actor Jack Larson ? Only time will tell . For now , the first of manyJustice Leaguecameos and nod for the fans can be set in gemstone , with yet another role set aside for McClure in DC ’s growing live - action multiverse ( McClure also played the heroine ’s don in NBC’sPowerless ) .
Hopefully this inclusion body will help win some of the fans who felt tell on or insulted by Olsen ’s anterior role in the DCEU back to WB ’s side . After all , it was assumed at first that a character like ' Superman ’s Pal Jimmy Olsen ' would be hard to fit into Zack Snyder ’s more modern population . Those who saw only the theatrical cut ofBvSwould never have have it off that the CIA spy killed as part of Lex Luthor ’s plan was this universe ’s version of Olsen . Only in the Ultimate Cut did Jimmy bring out himself by name . Still , the demise of any graphic symbol is guaranteed to stimulate up fan contempt .
Many will view this inclusion of McClure as a gesture to smooth things over , both for fans and the well experience version of the plucky Daily Planet photog . Whether it ’s an attempt to make peace , or simply continuing the movement of involve classical actors in blinking - and - you - lose - it cameos that superhero movies have made famous , it ’s a win for the fans . Especially if there ’s more to the function than McClure ’s frozen expression , visualize above . Although a front row can toCyborg ’s superhuman powersis strangely fitting for the histrion , staying close enough to superheroics to put himself in serious jeopardy .
We ’ll keep you posted for any and all new info expel as part ofJustice League ’s hebdomadary persona campaigns , and whether or not they seem to be work up towards a fullreveal of Superman refund from the numb . In the meanwhile , seeing his fellow heroes take theJustice Leaguemarketing spotlightis a heck of a consolation prize .
