Ray Porter, the actor who provides the voice of Darkseid in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, took to social media today to share a really cool bit of personal backstory that ties him to the world of the film. According to Porter, he got a note from an old classmate who said she enjoyed seeing “Vísur Vatnsenda-Rósu” – the Icelandic song sang by the women of the village that seemed to worship Aquaman. Her affection for the song was more than just liking the tune (which was at one point covered by Bjork). Rather, it seems Porter is friends with the great-granddaughter of Rósa Guðmundsdóttir, who wrote the poem that provides the song’s lyrics.
Small world dept.: My friend and college classmate liked seeing her home country in the film and informed me this poem/song was written by her great grandmother. pic.twitter.com/Zfg4qweAxs
