Adapting DC’s long and complex history for the screen is challenging, but the new DC Universe (DCU) seems to be laying the groundwork for a significant villain. Ahead of the upcoming Mister Miracle show, creator Tom King confirmed that Darkseid is being cast as a character in the series. In an interview with Wordballoon, King explained that Mister Miracle will have a large impact on the overall DCU and that they’ve officially cast Darkseid. Given James Gunn’s statements about animated voice actors reprising their roles in live-action, this casting suggests Darkseid will likely become a major player in the DCU’s future.
