Superheroes descend on Hollywood for ‘Justice League’ premiere

A star-studded cast of superheroes hit the red carpet for the Hollywood premiere of "Justice League," the latest installment from the DC comics universe.

The film features a host of major DC characters and box office stars including Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman and Ezra Miller as the Flash.

Gadot won both critical praise and box office success for "Wonder Woman" but DC comics has failed to match the box office of rival Marvel's biggest super-hero offerings.

The film's predecessor, 2016's "Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice", ended with the apparent death of superman. But Henry Cavill, who plays the superhero, says the Man of Steel has an important role in "Justice League."

"Justice League" opens in Philippine theaters on November 16. — Reuters
