Batman V Superman: 10 Characters Scoot McNairy Could Be Playing

Nearly one year ago, an anonymous source reported that Scoot McNairy had joined Batman V Superman. Warner Bros wouldn€™t confirm he was in the film and certainly weren't going to say who he was playing if he was. His involvement was discussed only in whispers and rumours until months later when he was spotted on set, seemingly confirming his involvement. But then the plot thickened.

Spy photos taken of him on set showed McNairy sporting giant green socks, presumably there to digitally alter his legs somehow. The speculation on his role immediately grew to a fever pitch. With a library of characters as vast as DC€™s and an actor versatile enough to pull off both superhero and villain, the possibilities seemed almost endless. Superman has hordes of allies and foes, and that€™s before getting into the world of Batman or the expanded DC Universe as a whole.

The Batman side of things is particularly interesting since Scoot, real name John, has recently collaborated with Ben Affleck on both Argo and Gone Girl - could the Bruce Wayne actor put in a good word for his co-star? Maybe, although that's not the real mystery here, is it?

The hushed involvement of a major actor as a mysterious role in a superhero blockbuster is nothing new. But in the age of the internet, unanswered questions like who Scoot€™s playing only lead to a fevered speculation. As such, these are the 10 most likely characters Scoot McNairy could be playing in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice.
