Wonder Woman's (Gal Gadot) origin story takes place years before the feud between Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Henry Cavill) happened, but the "Justice League" will tie up the ends to Princess Diana's story. Meanwhile, Collin Farrel might be joining the cast of "Justice League."

"Justice League" is set to hit theaters this coming November, and it follows Batman and his newfound ally, Wonder Woman, as they gather the rest of the Justice League to prepare for an incoming threat to humanity.

"Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy," the synopsis on the film's IMDb page reads.

Although the focus will be on Bruce Wayne, "Justice League" will serve as a significant bookend to Wonder Woman's origin story.

According to Comicbook, Wonder Woman and her time in World War I will be the one to set how she got involved in "Batman v Superman." But beyond that, the "Justice League" film will be tieing up loose ends with her origin story.

"Most of 'Wonder Woman' takes place prior to'Batman v Superman' in terms of timeline, but it's bookended and those bookend time periods are after 'BvS,'" executive producer Charles Roven explained.

"Wonder Woman" is set to premiere this June, but it appears that more of Princess Diana's story will be revealed in "Justice League" in November.

Meanwhile, there are speculations that Colin Farrell will play someone who will be in the Justice League in the film, and a few speculated characters who the actor might play have been rounded up.

One of the picks is John Constantine. Farrel seems to be a perfect fit because of his Irish accent. Also worth noting is that his charisma is fitting for the wit and sarcasm that Hellblazer emanates.

Another speculation is that Farrel might be playing Darryl Frye. Frye is actually the Scarlet Speedster's foster father in the original DC comics. Since The Flash (Ezra Miller) is quite the clown in the film, featuring his foster father might add a little more depth and drama for him.

"Justice League" premieres on Nov. 17.
