Batman V Superman: 10 Characters Scoot McNairy Could Be Playing

8. Maxwell Lord

Originally a slimy businessman, Lord spent most of his early years in comics running the Justice League International. Over time, he became more of a government agent who was shady without being outright evil. Finally, he was revealed as a criminal mastermind who shot the aforementioned Ted Kordw when he discovered his secret.

Like his role, Lord€™s abilities have fluctuated over time, though in recent years he€™s generally been portrayed as a standard government operative with some mild degree of telepathic powers. In other words, he€™s a threat with both brains and brawn, has connections to the two titular heroes, and would likely be portrayed as villainous.

McNairy has convincingly played villains before and the government agent angle could offer him a new avenue to explore. If anything, it could set Lord up as a major player for Justice League where McNairy could throw down with his pal Ben.
