With this new era being launched withSupermanit is only a matter of time before we get aJustice Leaguefilm. The director himself teased this via his Instagram story. And if that’s the case, there’s a supervillain who wouldn’t probably be the first choice for a main antagonist and is highly underrated. But is definitely one of the deadliest across DC comics.

Perfect Villain For James Gunn’sJusticeLeague

While there is no official announcement on the matter, there’s a good chance aJustice Leaguefilm is around the corner, if not down the street. And the anticipation forJames Gunn’s DCU is only growing with time.

Darkseid is probably the most dangerous supervillain for the superhero team. The Omega beams are really hard to beat. However, there’s a villain who could be lethal. And that’s Plastic Man. Often overlooked due to his goofiness and funny personality, he has a track record of being harmful to almost all the beloved superheroes.

His attack methods are nothing short of grotesque. He rips out bones and ruptures the internal organs of his enemies by invading their bodies or just suffocating them with his extendable flesh. He almost killed the Flash by blocking his airway and slaughtered the entire Justice League inDeceased.

Moreover, Gunn, as a filmmaker is skilled in taking lesser-known or feared characters and portraying them in a way that moves the viewers. Taking a character like Plastic Man and doing just that is right up Gunn’s alley.

It would make for a momentous roller coaster ride if Plastic Man becomes the primary antagonist in James Gunn’s Justice League.
