Is Jason Momoa On For Aquaman In Batman v Superman?

June 15, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jason-momoaConan didn’t turn Jason Momoa into the star many think he should be, but Game Of Thrones has been a great showcase for his brand of brawny acting. Now it looks like he’s got another shot at movie stardom, as Hitfix says he’s landed the role of Aquaman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Momoa will apparently have a small role in that film, which will expand into a more pivotal role in Justice League. It’s not the first time Momoa been rumoured for the movies, but due to the fact he doesn’t look like the classic version of Aquaman,  many believed he was playing either Martian Manhunter or Doomsday.

As yet the casting hasn’t been confirmed by Warner Bros. and DC Comics, and according to the Hitfix report, it won’t be confirmed for quite some time (so at the moment treat it is an enhanced rumour).

It’s also being suggested he won’t be called Aquaman in the movie, which may help those annoyed by the fact he looks nothing like the blonde Arthur Curry accept him in the role.

It’s suggested that the storyline of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will find the world angry with Superman, as in the aftermath of Man Of Steel, they’re left clearing up the massive damage inflicted on Metropolis (the clean-up is the one thing these super-destructive movies normally ignore). Lex Luthor is said to be behind an attempt to ban the superhero and turn mankind against him.

Aquaman is involved as he is not pleased with what the World Engine has done to the Indian Ocean, and he seeks out Superman for an answer.

First Look At Ben Affleck As Batman Arrives

May 13, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

ben-affleck-batman-first-picWhen it was announced that Ben Affleck would play Batman in the planned Batman Vs. Superman, there was a lot of grumbling, although since then some people have come around to the idea. Now we get our first look at the actor in costume as the Caped Crusader, along with a pic of the new Batmobile.

It has to be said he’s looking a bit more beefcake than Christian Bale was.

You’ll also notice the pics are in black and white, as Zack Snyder barely mentioned what the pic was of when he tweeted the pic of Affleck on his new Twitter account, instead saying, ‘I shot this with my @Leica_Camera M Monochrom. #Batman #Batmobile #Gotham http://imgur.com/3hRU6px pic.twitter.com/p5DEf6fLzJ’

But hey, perhaps Leica paid a lot for that, who knows.

In Batman Vs. Superman, Henry Cavill will be back Superman/Clark Kent, with Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane also returning. Newcomers include Ben Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons as Alfred.

The film is set to hit cinemas May 6th, 2016.

April 25, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

cyborg-dcThe cast of Warner’s Batman/Superman movie continues to grow with the news that Broadway actor Ray Fisher has landed the role of Cyborg in the movie, according to Variety.

It’s being suggested that the character doesn’t have a major role in the new movie, but that Warner will introduce him in the Batman.Superman movie, and Cyborg will play a much bigger part in other movies the studio is developing, leading up to Justice League.

Cyborg is Victor Stone, a half-man half-robot whose body was destroyed during an accident at S.T.A.R. Labs. He was saved through the use of experimental technology, with his body parts being replaced with a number of high-tech gadgets and weapons.

Ray Fisher was also up for a Jedi apprentice role in Star Wars: Episode VII, and is best known for portraying Muhammad Ali in the Broadway play, Fetch Clay, Make Man. Batman Vs. Superman is currently filming in Michigan.

Holly Hunter & More Up For Superman Vs. Batman

April 3, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

holly-hunter-thumbWith Batman Vs. Superman gearing up to shoot this summer, it’s almost surprising we haven’t heard about more new cast members. However now a new trio has signed on as Deadline reports that Oscar-winner Holly Hunter has signed up, and so have two actors with superhero experience, Captain America: The Winter Soldier’s Callan Mulvey and The Wolverine’s Tao Okamoto.

Unfortunately though there’s no info on who they will be, but to stop people poring through the DC archive for possible characters they might be playing, as Warner has said all three actors will play characters newly created for the film.

Director Zack Snyder comments, “Holly has always been one of my favourite actresses; she has immense talent and is always captivating on screen. I had an opportunity to meet her a while back and knew instantly that I had to work with her, so as we began writing the script I made sure to create a role specifically for her. I just had the good fortune to work with Callan on 300: Rise of an Empire and was very impressed with his incredible talent. He’s a fantastic actor and I’m looking forward to having the chance to work with him again. And, quite simply, Tao is a striking presence whose beauty is aptly rivaled by her amazing abilities as an actress. I’m really excited to have her joining us on this adventure.”

Henry Cavill will return Superman/Clark Kent, with Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane also returning. Newcomers include Ben Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons as Alfred.

The film is set to hit cinemas May 6th, 2016.

Jesse Eisenberg Is Batman Vs. Superman’s Lex Luthor, With Jeremy Irons As Alfred

February 1, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jesse-eisenbergThere’s been a lot of speculation over the last few months about who would play Lex Luthor in Batman Vs. Superman. However now Warner Bros. has announced that Jesse Eisenberg will play Luthor in the movie, with Jeremy Irons will as Bruce Wayne’s loyal butler Alfred.

Zack Snyder commented, “Lex Luthor is often considered the most notorious of Superman’s rivals, his unsavory reputation preceding him since 1940. What’s great about Lex is that he exist, beyond the confines of the stereotypical nefarious villain. He’s a complicated and sophisticated character whose intellect, wealth and prominence position him as one of the few mortals able to challenge the incredible might of Superman. Having Jesse in the role allows us to explore that interesting dynamic, and also take the character in some new and unexpected directions.”

He continued, “As everyone knows, Alfred is Bruce Wayne’s most trusted friend, ally and mentor, a noble guardian and father figure. He is an absolutely critical element in the intricate infrastructure that allows Bruce Wayne to transform himself into Batman. It is an honor to have such an amazingly seasoned and gifted actor as Jeremy taking on the important role of the man who mentors and guides the guarded and nearly impervious façade that encapsulates Bruce Wayne.”

There’s already been plenty of internet chatter over Eisenberg’s casting, with some suggesting he’s either too young or too nerdy to be the evil business magnate – although some feel that’s just what makes him right for the role, as in the age of the Internet, billionaires can look different from how we used to see them.

Henry Cavill reprises his role as Superman/Clark Kent, with Ben Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne, and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince. Man Of Steel stars Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane will also return. The film is set to open worldwide on May 6th, 2016.

Batman Vs. Superman Slips To From 2015 To Summer 2016

January 19, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

2015 is shaping up to be one hell of a year for gargantuan movies, with the likes of Avengers 2, Star Wars VII and Jurassic World, but now one of the biggest films has slipped out of 2015 and into 2016. Warner Bros. has announced that the release of Zack Snyder’s untitled Batman Vs. Superman film has moved from July 17, 2015 to May 6, 2016.

man-of-steel-promo-pic1The official reason is so that it will ‘allow the filmmakers time to realize fully their vision, given the complex visual nature of the story’. There are also reports that a leg injury to Ben Affleck, who’s set to play Batman, forced a delay to the shoot by a couple of months, putting even more pressure on the film.

Snyder’s Batman Vs. Superman film stars Henry Cavill, reprising his role as Superman/Clark Kent, and Ben Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne. The film will also reunite Man of Steel stars Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane, and also stars Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince. Zack Snyder will direct the film from a screenplay written by David S. Goyer.

Warner has already moved to put another movie into the July 17th, 2015 slot, which is when we’ll get Joe Wright’s as-yet-untitled all-new Peter Pan adventure.

Joaquin Phoenix May Be Batman vs. Superman’s Villain

December 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Joaquin-PhoenixIn the last few years Joaquin Phoenix hasn’t been part of many big Hollywood movies – although it’s not clear if that’s because he doesn’t want to or whether the major studios are a bit wary of him. However now he’s being eyed for one of the biggest, as Variety reports that he’s been offered the villain role in Warner’s Batman Vs. Superman.

It’s not been revealed exactly which character Phoenix would play, although after teases in Man Of Steel, many have assumed that Lex Luthor will be a big part of the film. Luthor may still be in the background though and Joaquin could be someone else from the Batman or Superman universes.

At the moment it’s not known if Phoenix will take the role, but if he does he’ll be going up against Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill during summer 2015.

Jason Momoa Eyed for Batman Vs. Superman

December 10, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jason-momoaJason Momoa, best known for Conan The Barbarian and Game Of Thrones, is now in negotiations for the highly anticipated Batman Vs. Superman, according to THR. However at this stage it isn’t known who he will play.

If a deal is made, he will join Henry Cavill (Superman/Clark Kent), Ben Affleck (Batman), Amy Adams (Lois Lane), Diane Lane (Martha Kent), Laurence Fishburne (Perry White) and Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman).

Inevitably there are already rumours about who Momoa might be playing, with most of the speculation suggesting that the muscle-bound actor may be the villainous Doomsday or Martin Manhunter. Warner Bros. is now focussing on the Lex Luthor role, with the studio seeking African-American actors to play the iconic villain. It’s not believed Momoa will take this role, although it hasn’t been denied by the studio.

December 4, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Gal-GadotThere have been many rumours that it won’t just be Batman and Superman in the follow-up to Man Of Steel, and that’s now been confirmed as Warner Bros. has announces that Fast & Furious star Gal Gadot has taken the role of Wonder Woman in the movie, which is tentatively titled Batman Vs. Superman.

Director Zack Snyder commented, “Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe. Not only is Gal Gadot an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role. We look forward to audiences discovering Gal Gadot in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character.”

Batman Vs. Superman will feature the return of Henry Cavill as Superman, facing off against Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne/Batman. It’s out summer 2015.
