Though we still don't know if Ava DuVernay's New Gods, which is set to feature Darkseid and the Female Furies, will directly connect to the DCEU, we do know that Darkseid was a part of Zack Snyder's Justice League. And now the actor who was cast as Darkseid has officially confirmed he played the role. Ray Porter (Justified, Argo), after being given the "all clear," took to Twitter and introduced himself as the man who was/will be DC supervillain Darkseid. That said, and because I’ve been given permission... Hi, I’m Ray.
