Justice League of America's Martian Manhunter Revealed

It was dropped into news stories such as the one we reported here that Hugh Keays-Byrne would be a part of the cast of George Miller's Justice League of America, but what wasn't mentioned was what role the actor would play. Well, according to Ain't It Cool News, Keays-Byrne is set to play the role of the Martian Manhunter, J'onn J'onzz (it's pronounced John Jones).

In the comics, J'onn is the heart and soul of the Justice League. The last survivor of the planet Mars, the Martian Manhunter is a telepathic shapeshifter with enough raw power to nearly be the equal to Superman himself.

Keays-Byrne is probably best known for his role of Toecutter in Mad Max.

As with so many other details about Justice League of America, it is not known at this time how large a role the Martian Manhunter will play in the final script, which is still expected to include such major DC Comics heroes as Superman, Batman, the Flash, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern.

Justice League of America is in development .

    really this is from another movie, no kidding never woulda thought,seing as they havent even finished a script, i simply meant MM being a fat old white guy would hopefully be an alternate not his actual appearance

    Yeah, MM is a great character. I miss the old days of when he was a member of the league and wasn't so alien. Now he has his martain head and isolates himself more. I love the new justice league of america comic(which doesn't have MM), but I don't like what they've done to J'onn.

    Don't lecture me about J'onn J'onnz, he's my favorite JLA member, of course I know he's a shape shifter. So was Mystique, but she was still played by a principle actress.
    This is a picture from another movie, bub.
    This movie will suck, indominably.

    Now, if they were taking things seriously, and trying to creat a JLA movie that does justice to the characters, Doug Jones would be the obvious first choice for MM.
