Batman V Superman: 7 Fan Theories We Already Know Are Bullsh*t

6. Jeremy Irons Is Playing Bruce Wayne

Actors need to be very careful these days when it comes to discuss details of what they€™re working on; just like Michael Shannon, all they need to do is make a joke or drop a small detail and their words will get twisted into oblivion Case in point is Jeremy Irons, who simply said that his version of Alfred will be a bit more physically active in the story. Within days that had been distorted into a fan theory that Irons isn€™t playing Alfred but Bruce Wayne, who is trying Ben Affleck€™s unnamed character to be his replacement. There isn€™t any need for official comments on this rumour, as it€™s so ridiculous it doesn€™t need to be commented on. Irons simply hinted that Alfred might have a fight or two, not that he€™s secretly Batman. There are no secrets hiding in plain sight here; Ben Affleck is playing Bruce Wayne and Batman, and Irons is Alfred.
