Deathstroke Movie Is Still Alive at DC According to Joe Manganiello
DC fans were excited to finally see Joe Manganiello as Deathstroke during the post-credit scene in Justice League. Now, the actor confirms that the standalone movie is still in the works. Manganiello showed up as Slade Wilson along with Jesse Eisenberg's Lex Luthor in a post-credit scene, and for many it was the best part of Justice League.
