A while ago it became clear that Deathstroke, also known as Slade Wilson, would make his movie debut as the villain of Ben Affleck's upcoming Batman movie. The announcement started with a short clip of the character posted by Affleck himself on Twitter.
Back then we didn't know which actor would get the pleasure of portraying the assassin mercenary on the big screen, but now it has been confirmed that it is Joe Manganiello who'll do the honours.
This was confirmed by DC Entertainment president and chief creative officer Geoff Johns via The Wall Street Journal.
The movie is still a ways off as it's not expected to even come close to a cinema before 2018.
