Batman V Superman: 10 Characters Scoot McNairy Could Be Playing

9. Ted Kord

Billionaire by day, under-appreciated crimefighter by night, as Blue Beetle Ted Kord is essentially the more likeable, B-list Batman. Blue Beetle is very much a fan favourite due to his embracing of the fact that he€™s not the top tier guy but can still get the job done.

While we might not expect the costumed counterpart, the civilian identity of Ted Kord absolutely fits into the BvS world, far more than most heroes€™s would. As a businessman and inventor, Kord rubs shoulders with the likes of Lex Luthor and Bruce Wayne, and that professional relationship is likely to play a role in Batman€™s journey to Metropolis.

If that weren€™t enough, in Season 3 of Arrow, Ray Palmer€™s role was originally supposed to be Ted Kord, but the producers were told he wasn€™t available as he was part of their film plans. Scoot McNairy embodying the quirky and affable billionaire businessman? It seems almost too obvious that he would nail the role.
