It's hard to gauge any rumor of the villain for JUSTICE LEAGUE being true or false. Especially since Ben Affleck was just elevated to executive producer of JUSTICE LEAGUE, who will also have creative influence over the script and the DC Extended Universe, so things can change right now.
This rumor comes from the website BirthMoviesDeath, who have been putting out a lot of recent (what needs to be considered) rumor posts regarding the internal happenings at Warner Bros. and DC Films. BMD writes:
"Yup, it's Steppenwolf. When the deleted scene of Lex Luthor meeting a monster in his Kryptonian warm bath first popped up online the internet thought that monster was Steppenwolf. I couldn't believe it - the monster barely looked like Steppenwolf, and in fact his whole aesthetic was nothing like that of the New Gods, the corner of the DC Comics universe from which Steppenwolf arises. But I was wrong! Boy was I wrong.
"Darkseid is a presence in the movie, and fully appears at the end of the film, but don't expect him to do much."
And here's the deleted scene from BATMAN V. SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE being referenced.
Please remember to take this rumor as just a rumor because blockbuster movie productions are so fluid nowadays that their scripts can change even during filming... so nothing is really certain.
