Who Plays Steppenwolf In Zack Snyder’s Justice League?

Following appearances in blockbusters like the Ben Affleck-led «The Sum of All Fears» and the Sam Mendes-directed «Road to Perdition,» Ciarán Hinds found himself as one of Hollywood’s go-to supporting players. While he still appeared regularly in British projects, it was his career in Hollywood that saw him pumping out blockbusters after blockbusters, such as the 2003 film «Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life.» 

Take a look at Hinds’ CV and chances are that the Irish actor has appeared in your favorite projects. From Michael Mann’s cult-favorite «Miami Vice» to an appearance in the acclaimed «There Will Be Blood,» Hinds’ filmography is nothing if not varied. While speaking with Screen Daily, Hinds candidly opened up about how strange his career as an actor has been. «It’s hard to know what people make of your career,» the «Harry Potter» actor admitted. «From my perspective, I just turn up, try not to mess it up, and really connect to [the story] to give people something that’s worth watching,» he added. 

Perhaps it’s that simple but effective work ethic that has made him a favorite for directors across all mediums. In addition to working with living legends like Martin Scorsese and Kenneth Branagh, Hinds has also popped up on television shows like «Game of Thrones,» where he played Mance Rayder. Because of how fantastic of an actor Hinds is, it’s a shame that he was wasted as Steppenwolf in the theatrical cut of «Justice League.» Luckily, Zack Snyder’s director’s cut remedied that.
