10 Characters Batman V Superman Has Cast Perfectly
9. Tao Okamoto As Mercy Graves
With all the controversy surrounding Ben Affleck's casting as Batman, this decision has slipped under the radar, but it is perhaps one of the greatest. Lex Luthor is a billionaire businessman, so it is likely that he has an army of assistants willing to do his bidding. The woman who is in charge of this administrative army is Mercy Graves. Like Harley Quinn, this femme fatale crossed over from the animated series to the comics, and now she will be making a live action appearance through Tao Okamoto. She made her film debut as Mariko Yashida in last years The Wolverine, where she proved that she could certainly hold her own within a comic book movie. Seeing as Lex Luthor is a billionaire CEO, it makes sense to expect that the majority of scenes with these characters will have a corporate tone to them, an environment she's proven she can flourish in. Mercy is responsible for silencing those who dont toe the line in Lexs criminal empire, essentially the operational force behind his villainous plans. She should strike fear into those she is sent to intimidate, and Tao Okamoto is in no doubt the woman to bring this influential villain to life.
