Transcript

00:00The Justice League cast united and looked as heroic as ever at the film's

00:08premiere in Hollywood Monday, but most of the press didn't get a chance to speak with

00:11the film's two biggest stars, as Ben Affleck, who plays Batman, and Gal Gadot,

00:16aka Wonder Woman, skipped the press line. Affleck and Gadot did speak to the

00:20official Warner Bros. livestream of the event, and like Gadot and Affleck, Ezra

00:24Miller, who plays The Flash, and Jason Momoa, aka Aquaman, spent time posing for

00:29photos with fans, but also largely avoided the press. However, Momoa did joke around

00:34with a few bloggers for a moment. The premiere came as it's becoming more common for stars

00:38to skip carpets to avoid being asked about controversial issues, such as the sexual

00:42harassment scandals that have hit Hollywood. Gadot has emerged as a champion for women's

00:47issues in the wake of this summer's box office hit Wonder Woman. Last month, she

00:51canceled an appearance at a dinner honoring director Brett Ratner, who has been accused

00:55of harassment. Connie Nielsen, who plays Wonder Woman's mother, said she's proud to

00:59be a part of a franchise that can be an inspiration to young girls. She told THR,

01:03The superhero team-up also stars Henry Cavill as Superman and Ray Fisher as Cyborg, both of whom

01:16did stop to speak to press. Cavill, whose role in Justice League has been shrouded in mystery,

01:21doesn't currently have another solo Superman movie officially slated. But over the summer,

01:25Kingsman filmmaker Matthew Vaughn spoke openly about his ideas for A Man of Steel

01:292, sparking buzz about a sequel. Cavill said that should he get the call, he's ready for

01:34another solo movie. He told THR,

01:36I think it's a wonderful opportunity to keep telling the story and develop the character further,

01:40and I'd be very excited. Justice League is the most ambitious film Warner Brothers and DC have

01:45tackled in this shared universe, and producer Chuck Roven noted that giving each character their due was one of its big challenges.

01:51He told THR,

01:56Justice League hits theaters on Friday. For much more from the premiere, check out THR.com's comic book movie destination,
