Lex Luthor may be the evil pulling the strings in "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice", but he won't be doing so alone.
As the most hated man in Metropolis, Lex is going to need protection and that's Tao Okamoto comes in. ComicBook reports the "Wolverine" actress will play Luthor's personal assistant and body guard Mercy Graves:
"Our source also offered that they felt that Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice's interpretation of Lex Luthor is much better than it might sound from initial descriptions, describing him as 'a slimy businessman we can all despise.' Our source indicated, 'You are going to hate this guy.'"
"You are going to root for him to be punched by Supes when he weasels his way out of legal trouble. He is cocky and confident because he is THAT good at what he does. He's a billionaire who knows he is more powerful than the Senator and Congressman visiting because he's a billionaire."
LexCorp will reportedly resemble "high tech mega billion company" similar to Google or Apple. The LexCorp façade would look inviting to an outsider, but Luthor's deviousness will be lurking in the shadows, according to ComicBook.
ComicBook's sources also revealed Holly Hunter's character will be visiting LexCorp. However, it is unclear her character's connection to Luthor.
"Our source also indicates the reports of Holly Hunter playing a U.S. Senator are accurate. Furthermore, our source added that Hunter's character is visiting LexCorp with a congressman (played by an as of yet unidentified actor). In one scene, Lex has an interaction with the congressman, where Lex seems 'to embarrass or be very disrespectful to the congressmen on his way out.'"
"Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" will star Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jesse Eisenberg and more. The film will be released in movie theaters on May 6, 2016.
