Ultimately, he was reduced a unimportant scene but James Gunn has confirmed that he will become a big part of the DCU.

Mark Strong has already played Sinestro on live television once in the movie, Green Lantern. Even though the movie was not well received the audience are still awaiting the new TV show.

Clayface

Clayface will be one of the only villains to receive a full movie in the DC universe. Mike Flanagan brought the character into light with his latest script that has made him a part of DC Studios plans officially. DC plans on releasing the movie after Supergirl and it will take heavy inspiration from Batman: The Animated Series episode, "Feat of Clay."

Brainiac

In the DC movies, there is only one big comic villain who is yet to make any appearance on the big screen. Brainiac was always a probability that never came true. But, as per the latest reports it is being suggested that Brainiac will be featured in DC's Man of Tomorrow. The villain is the among the most anticipated characters of the DC Universe.

Amanda Waller

DC Studios has already announced that they will create a spin-off series based on Amanda Waller. Oscar-winning actress, Viola Davis who was a part of James Gunn's "Suicide Squad" is going to return in her role as Amanda Waller. In the Comics, Waller is among the most formidable villains and her temperamental personality is likely to bleed into her character in the DCEU.
