10 Movie And TV Spoilers We Didn't Know Last Week (27th Aug)

3. Scoot McNairy Playing Another Hero In Batman v. Superman?

Batman v. Superman: Dawn Of Justice is already packed with DC superheroes, from the titular caped vigilantes to Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman and Jason Momoa's Aquaman, but that hasn't stopped Warner Bros. from filling up their cinematic universe as quickly as they can in order to catch up to Marvel. A recent photo taken on the set of the film has revealed actor Scoot McNairy in green stockings, presumably to be filled in later with CG effects. This has led to a flurry of speculation from fans, with many assuming that he must be playing the cinematic version of The Flash (the green is on his feet, after all) but there has been almost equal support for the idea that he might be playing Metallo. No doubt we'll get an announcement one way or the other soon enough, unless the speculation is way off the mark and McNairy is actually playing a character with prosthetic legs.
