Batman V Superman: 10 Characters Scoot McNairy Could Be Playing

by Connor Briggs-Morris

1. Metallo

The assumption is that, though he may don his famous warsuit, Lex Luthor is not much of a physical threat to Superman or Batman and needs some help in the muscle department, at least for the sake of the film€™s action set pieces and the viewers€™ interest levels.

Enter Metallo, the formerly human soldier John Corben, who€™s suffered an experimental procedure to have his mind transferred into a robotic body powered by a kryptonite heart. His ties to the military fit him seamlessly into Superman€™s world and he could be their answer to how to combat Superman; an answer potentially developed by the aforementioned Lex Luthor.

From a creative standpoint, McNairy said he would have to get his €œhead around emotionally€ for the character, which seems to imply a villain. Scoot€™s villainous side could be perfect to bring Metallo to life as his work in Non-Stop showed he could work as a tormented soldier with a penchant for destruction

Hero, villain, bureaucrat? Who do you think Scoot is playing? Let us know in the comments.
