The second villain is Morgan Edge, who will be set up as a public relations executive at LexCorp, essentially Luthor’s mouthpiece, and basically an all-around tool. He’ll be seen trading wits with Lois Lane on a talk show during the film. The report suggests that this is the role that Scoot McNairy was cast for, and not Nightwing, as some have suggested.
Lastly, David Cain will also appear in the film as a middle-aged assassin for hire. The report suggests that Luthor’s bodyguard, Mercy Graves, will meet with Cain to set up an assassination, but doesn’t reveal who the target will be.
The report dispels rumors that Metallo and/or the Joker would be appearing in the film, but does hint that the Joker will be mentioned when a particularly important event in Batman’s backstory is referenced.
Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice comes to theaters May 6, 2016.
