"Zack Snyder's Justice League" ends on a cliff-hanger, warranting a sequel.

Though the heroes join forces to defeat Steppenwolf, the real "big bad," Darkseid is still out there, ready to conquer Earth.

In the film's epilogue, Bruce Wayne has a nightmare vision of the future in which a number of superheroes are killed, including Wonder Woman and Aquaman. He's been forced to team up with the remaining heroes, anti-heroes, and villains (see: Joker) to try and save it from Darkseid.

When he awakes with a start, he's greeted by Martian Manhunter (Harry Lennix) outside of his home, who introduces himself and offers his help to the Justice League. Then the film ends.

The "Snyder Cut," in theory, was supposed to be a one-off, but a current official exhibit in Dallas, Texas for the film showcases Snyder's vision for two more sequels.

In an interview with Insider, Lennix said he doesn't know what his character arc would have been in any further movies and that he hasn't yet checked out the exhibit in Dallas, but he believes we could see more from this world.

"This is something that I hope gets some more momentum behind it," Lennix told Insider of any potential "Justice League" sequels. "This idea that maybe he could even, dare we hope, finish his vision for this narrative that he's got in his head."

"I think it is worthy of the time and resource," Lennix continued. "I think that this film, this version, will get the love that it deserves. I think it changes the game in many ways. And so who knows? I don't think this is the end of the story. I'll put it that way."

HBO Max may very well have a dilemma on its hands after the film's release because fans may demand a sequel.

Warner Bros. and DC have moved forward with its own continuity on the big screen. Matt Reeves is working on a new, separate Batman movie with Robert Pattinson.

When presented with the idea that we can't have more than one DC film universe co-exist at the same time, Lennix mentioned how there are more than 40,000 denominations of Christianity that manage to co-exist.

"If that could be the case that people could actually form and to do entire reformations based on a few words here and there in scripture, if people have radically different ideas to go to war over these things, then it should not surprise us that our national sort of mythology would have differences of opinion and approach and that they could be sustained," Lennix concluded.

The world can probably handle a few different versions of the DC Extended Universe. It's already been proven by the existence of television's CW Arrowverse, WB's billion-dollar Oscar winner "Joker," and DC's animated "Harley Quinn" series.

Before the film's release on HBO Max, fans already started tweeting their support for the streaming service to let Snyder complete his trilogy using the hashtag, #RestoretheSnyderVerse.

Lennix told Insider he thinks its in the fan's hands now if they want to see more from this world.

"I think the fans have proven that it is now QED [quod erat demonstrandum], that they have a lot of power," Lennix told Insider over the phone when asked his thoughts on the "Restore the SnyderVerse" hashtag.

"I think that a little bit more persuading is not something that will be difficult to find here," he added. "I think they can absolutely move mountains. And why not this one? This one would actually would be a fairly easy lift, I think at this point."

"Zack Snyder's Justice League," also starring Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot, is airing on HBO Max now.
