The kit states that Eisenberg will have a featured role in “Justice League,” which means that Lex Luthor will make another appearance. The kit also announced that Queen Hippolyta will be in the film, with Connie Nielson reprising the role from the upcoming “Wonder Woman” stand-alone film.

Last seen in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,” Eisenberg had previously teased Lex Luthor’s return in “Justice League.”

While Queen Hippolyta hasn’t been seen in a DC film yet, audiences will get their first taste in next June’s “Wonder Woman.” Queen Hippolyta is the mother of Gal Gadot’s Diana Prince/Wonder Woman and is the ruler of the land of Themyscira.

Earlier set visit reports suggest that one of the three motherboxes — the macguffins of “Justice League” — sought by the villain Steppenwolf, is possessed by the Amazons on Themyscira.
