With the movie hotting cinemas in 2016, the cast is still coming together for Superman vs. Batman, and Warner Bros. have announced a trio of new cast members, with Holly Hunter, Callan Mulvey (300: Rise of an Empire, Captain America: The Winter Soldier), and Tao Okamoto (The Wolverine) signing on for the long awaited meeting of The Dark Knight and The Man of Steel. But don't start speculating on which DC Comics characters they could be playing, as they have been revealed to be playing roles created specially for the movie. Now, I don't see Warner Bros. creating new super heroes for the movie, especially considering they have an entire back catalogue of comics characters they are doing nothing with, so I wouldn't be surprised if they have ties to the army, The Daily Planet, Lex Corp, or, heck, even Wayne Enterprises. I can't shake the feeling Hunter will take over Richard Schiff's role as scientific military advisor from Man of Steel, and Okamoto would make a good body guard for Luthor, similar to Mercy Graves from the comics and cartoon. Mulvey's last two roles were as a soldier, and I expect that to continue. He just has that sort of face. But that's all speculation at this point, as Snyder and Warner Bros. are taking an almost JJ Abrams-like approach to this movie.
Released: May 6th 2016
