'Justice League: Part One' plot: Movie to form 'one giant story' with other solo superhero flicks

Director Zack Snyder has disclosed that the upcoming "Justice League: Part One" film will form "one giant story" alongside other DC Entertainment/Warner Bros. movies with solo superheroes.

According to Comic Book, the film would hook up with "Wonder Woman," "Aquaman," and "The Flash" to form what he called "a DC cinematic universe." The solo flicks would purportedly function as the supporting pillars.

"The first thing we had was the Justice League concept. The other movies, in a way, have to support that. They have their own creative concepts that supports them, but they do serve Justice League in the coming together of those heroes," he said.

Snyder, however, made it clear that each production team would have a lot of space for creative freedom and that the other directors would be able to "stretch their legs" and do what they do best.

"But at the same time, there is a big interconnected universe. I have given everyone amazing access to our story, to me, and what we are doing. All the films have like minded conceptual jumping on points," he said.

Meanwhile, the first villain to be revealed in the upcoming DC Entertainment/Warner Bros. movie is a Batman adversary. Movie Pilot reports that KGBeast would most likely be included in the list of evildoers who will battle with the film's superheroes.

The supervillain is a known foe of Bruce Wayne. In the comic books, he is a special agent and a highly trained KGB assassin. Named Anatoli Knyazev in his human life, KGBeast was cybernetically enhanced to become a deadly killer.

Other possible bad guys expected to appear alongside their DC hero counterparts are Lex Luthor for Superman, Cheetah for Wonder Woman, and King Shark for Aquaman. All of these, however, are mere speculations as the companies have yet to confirm any details for the new film.

"Justice League: Part One" is slated to be released on Nov. 17, 2017.
