More News on Lex and Tao Okamoto in 'Batman V Superman'

Forget everything I just said! Well maybe not everything. Lex will still have blonde hair, but ComicBook.com is reporting a better description of Luthor's character from a supposed on-set source:

"Our source also offered that they felt that Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice’s interpretation of Lex Luthor is much better than it might sound from initial descriptions, describing him as “a slimy businessman we can all despise.” Our source indicated, “You are going to hate this guy. You are going to root for him to be punched by Supes when he weasels his way out of legal trouble. He is cocky and confident because he is THAT good at what he does. He's a billionaire who knows he is more powerful than the Senator and Congressman visiting because he's a billionaire.”

Now that is much more like Lex. He should be confident because of his genius intellect and infinite wealth.

Fuck Hector Hammond, Lex Luthor is in the house! Stop screaming Hector, you big headed bitch!

In other Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice news, ComicBook.com is also claiming that Tao Okamoto (The Wolverine) will be playing Lex Luthor's assistant Mercy Graves. It was originally reported that Okamoto would be playing an "original" character for the film, but this contradictory report says otherwise. 

"Our source indicated that Japanese actress Tao Okamoto is playing Lex Luthor’s assistant, who is named “Mercy.” In the comic books and Superman animated series, Mercy Graves is Lex’s personal assistant and body guard, where she is portrayed as highly intelligent and experienced in hand-to-hand combat." 

I'm all in for Mercy Graves. I'm a big fan of the character that is why I speculated Emily Blunt (Looper) could be Mercy a few weeks back when she was supposedly up for a role in the movie. So even though it isn't Blunt, I would be incredibly pumped to see Tao by Lex's side.
