"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" pulls double-duty both as its own action epic and as setup for the rest of the DC Extended Universe.

Not only did we get the debut of Ben Affleck's Batman and Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, but fans also saw glimpses of future Justice League members. Their cameos are depicted as surveillance footage found among files uncovered from Lex Luthor.

Following the events of "Man of Steel," people are suspicious of "metahumans," people with extraordinary abilities. Luthor has been keeping track of people worldwide caught on video displaying their powers.

Midway through the film, Bruce and Diana get their hands on Luthor's files and we see brief glimpses of these metahumans.

Read on to see which heroes "Batman v Superman" teased and when we'll see their solo adventures.

Wonder Woman has a small but vital role in the film. When we meet her, she's tracking Lex Luthor. She tells Bruce he's stolen a photograph of hers.

We find out the photograph is from 1918. Diana is centuries years old and participated in the events leading up to World War I. This image, from her upcoming solo film, implies we'll eventually see the story of the photograph.

Wonder Woman's solo film is coming June 23, 2017.

One of the files Diana and Bruce uncover show a young man seemingly moving at the speed of light. He disarms a thug robbing a corner store in an instant. This red streak is The Flash, played by Ezra Miller.

The Flash's solo film is coming March 23 2018.

Another file, seemingly shot from a submarine camera, showed a bearded man holding a trident. He looks into the camera, then zooms through the ocean at an incredible speed. We've just met Aquaman.

Jason Momoa will star as the King of Atlantis. We can look forward to Aquaman's solo film July 27, 2018.

Perhaps the most disturbing of the video files shows a scientist experiment on a human torso, using some sort of extraterrestrial technology to resurrect a young man. The disemboweled man awakens, screaming, and the scientist shuts off the camera.

This is Cyborg's origin. In the comics, Victor Stone was a star athlete before a devastating injury nearly kills him. His father, a scientist, uses complex machinery to restore him. Ray Fisher will star when the film comes April 3, 2020.
