Tao Okamoto's Role in 'Batman vs. Superman' Revealed

Fans have known for a while that Tao Okamoto would have a role in Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, but now that role has been confirmed.

The following official trailer breakdown from DC All-Access reveals what many fans had suspected. Okamoto portrays Mercy Graves, bodyguard to Lex Luthor. The video also shows that General Zod's body is in fact inside LexCorp.

Gal Gadot portrays Wonder Woman in Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the actress discussed her character in a recent chat with Interview Magazine.

First, the 30-year-old Israeli actress talked about the roles she wanted when she first got to Hollywood. “I told them that I wanted to be able to show the stronger side of women," she said. "I didn’t want to do the obvious role that you see in Hollywood most of the time, which is the heartbroken girl who’s waiting to be rescued by the guy, blah, blah, blah.”

Eventually, she landed the role of Wonder Woman in the highly anticipated movie. “I’m so excited about this role. I feel like I’ve been given a huge opportunity to inspire people, not only women. And not because of me but because of who Wonder Woman is and what she stands for,” Gadot said. “There’s a lot of responsibility. But I have the best team and the best people to work with. It’s going to be an amazing ride, knock on wood.”

In related news, the second theatrical trailer for the movie has been released, and it shows a bit more of Wonder Woman. Let's consider it a remix of the trailer we all saw at Comic-Con.

Lex Luthor himself, Jesse Eisenberg received some unwanted attention this week when he made a remark about genocide in relation to San Diego Comic-Con 2015.

The actor made the following remark about his experience at the annual festival, where thousands of fans packed Hall H to cheer the actors in the movie.

"It is like being screamed at by thousands of people," he said, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "I don't know what the experience is throughout history, probably some kind of genocide. I can't think of anything that's equivalent."

In a separate interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Eisenberg clarified his remarks. "Maybe on some cellular memory level, that's the only thing that seems like an equivalent social experience," he said. "Even if they're saying nice things, just being shouted at by thousands of people, it's horrifying."

Then, in yet another interview, he spoke to The Associated Press and expanded on his remarks even further. "I of course was using hyperbole to describe the sensory overload I experienced," he said. "I sometimes do employ that. I'm a normal person who has normal sensory experiences, so Comic-Con was very overwhelming for me. That said, it was really an honor to be on that end of such jubilation."

Eisenberg further explained that it was "wonderful" to be a part of a beloved and highly anticipated film after working on projects that "no one loves and no one anticipates." He was seemingly overwhelmed by the response that the movie received in the massive Hall H. "That people are excited about it in that way is unheard of and thrilling," he said.
