Zack Snyder’s Justice League actor Joe Manganiello’s campaign caught the attention of many fans. They lent their support to him and started #DeathstrokeHBOMax trend on Twitter. Several users expressed that they are ready for a solo film or a series of the character. Check out some replies.

Joe Manganiello was first seen as Deathstroke in Justice League post-credit scene. It was to set up his next appearance in a solo Batman movie which was supposed to be helmed by Ben Affleck. However, the scene was altered to hint at a Justice League villains’ film. Affleck’s Batman project featuring Deathstroke as the antagonist was also cancelled.

Then, Joe Manganiello reprised the character in Zack Snyder’s Justice League. He was part of the surviving people in the Knightmare sequence, joining forces with Batman, Mera, the Flash, Cyborg, and the Joker as they go against Superman and Darkseid. There is currently no news if the actor would make a comeback again.
