MOS 2: More Olga And Wonder Woman Talk

The chatter about former Bond girl and "Oblivion" star Olga Kurylenko showing up  Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman/Batman team-up Man of Steel Sequel has seemingly been confirmed by Variety.

The trade adds that Gal Gadot ("Fast and Furious") and Elodie Yung ("G.I. Joe: Retaliation") are also in the mix testing for the female lead.



There's been noise that the production is seeking is a love interest for the Dark Knight in the film. The Type? A woman in their late 20s of any ethnicity. They do, however, specify that she be tall and "possess physicality".

The notice DID NOT give a name for the character, which led to speculation that it could anyone from Vicki Vale to Wonder Woman. A leaked casting call has fanboys thinking that Amazon warrior is in "Batman vs. Superman" Thor: The Dark World" actress is Jaimie Alexander is also linked.

THR's Borys Kit tweeted that "Wonder Woman will not be in Supes vs Batman. But a certain Diana may show up. And I'm pretty confident these tests are not for WW, who will have a minor minor role. This is Supes vs Bats. Not Supes vs Bats vs WW."

Variety's report adds "Wonder Woman (Diana Prince) and the The Flash are said to be locks to make an appearance in some fashion, whether that’s a significant role or a cameo."

A love interest for Bats suggests that he will have a larger part in the film than expected. It also could mean that other characters like Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred Pennyworth might show up as well.

Sources for Latino Review suggest that the character of Dick Grayson, the post-Robin Nightwing incarnation, will show up in the film.

The studio is said to be seeking a 5'10, Caucasian actor with martial arts familiarity and resembling "a young John C. Hawkes type". They also suggest that in the film's story, Nightwing and Bat-fleck will not have spoken for years.

These hero introductions would make sense if Warners is ever gonna make a "Justice League" movie.

MOS 2 will see the return of Henry Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent, Ben Affleck will play Bruce Wayne/Batman amid lots of fallout--while Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane are set to reprise their roles as Lois Lane, Perry White and Martha Kent.

Those reports that suggested that the chatter about former "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston playing Lex Luthor in the upcoming movie were true have now been denied by the actor.

Singer Justin Bieber uploaded a photo on his Instagram account showing him holding up what appeared to be a personalized script for the film with the hashtag "#Robin" but it turned out to be a prop for a Funny or Die skit.

"Man Of Steel" writer David S. Goyer will be back--as will Christopher Nolan to executive produce the film.

Sources say the new movie is going for the tone of the relationship and fight seen in Frank Miller’s 1980s ground-breaking mini-series The Dark Knight Returns.

The film will shoot in Detroit and throughout Michigan sometime in the first quarter of 2014. Warner Bros will also shoot the movie in Toronto to meet its release on July 17 2015. Some filming for the film's opening sequence is already in the can

Meantime: The star of The CW's popular Arrow TV series Stephen Amell posted a "Justice League" comic image on his official Facebook page

We already know that Flash (Grant Gustin) will show up there for a few eps before getting his own show in 2014

Could more of DC Entertainment's "Justice League" be coming to "Arrow"?
