Is Holly Hunter playing Leslie Thompkins in Batman vs. Superman?

Zack Snyder recently cast Holly Hunter (The Incredibles), Callan Mulvey (300: Rise of the Empire), and Tao Okamoto (The Wolverine) in his Man of Steel sequel currently titled Batman vs. Superman. When asked about who these actors will be portraying, Snyder responded "all three actors will play characters newly created for the film." No new information had come out about these "new characters",  until today when Latino Review reported " We think Holly Hunter is going to be playing Leslie Thompkins, or a Leslie Thompkins replacement character." If this true, movie fans will get to see another wrinkle of Batman lore. Leslie Thompkins is a doctor, who was friends with Thomas Wayne, so when Thomas died, she became active in young Bruce's life. Some incarnations even have her as a confidant who knows Batman's identity, such as Batman TAS. Hunter is a great actress, who I can easily fit into a younger Leslie Thompkins-like character. Batman vs. Superman is filming now.

Batman vs. Superman Casts Three More Actors!

Zack Snyder has officially added three new actors to the cast of his superhero mashup Batman vs. Superman. All three will play orginal characters for the film. The actors include Academy Award winner Holly Hunter (O' Brother Where Art Thou), Callan Mulvey (300: Rise of an Empire), and Capey nominated actress Tao Okamoto (The Wolverine). That is a fine set of actors. I personally hope Holly Hunter plays Ben Affleck's fiancee because I want him and Henry Cavill to renact the fight scene from O'Brother Where Art Thou. "You can't say that to my fiancee!" Boom, epic superhero fight. Also, I guarantee Callan Mulvey will play the orginal character who turns out to be a classic comic villain because apparently every superhero film needs a big reveal charcter now. Well anyway, Batman vs. Superman is filming now.
