That's in addition to the previously leaked cast: Scott Porter as Superman, Megan Gale as Wonder Woman, Common as Green Lantern and Adam Brody as Flash.

A priest played by Henry "Black Flag" Rollins warns them that an ancient evil has been unleashed. And their former leader, Ray Winstone, helps them uncover the truth about Perlman's compromised research. Jason Connery, who used to play Robin Hood on TV, made his directorial debut with Pandemic.

Aliens From Close Encounters Plot Come-Back
