In the latest instalment of DC All Access, it is revealed that Tao Okamoto will play Lex Luthor's bodyguard Mercy Graves in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. It was previously reported that this was the role the Hannibal star would have in the movie, but this is the first official confirmation we've had (they also reveal in the video below that General Zod's body is indeed in LexCorp, confirming both rumours and speculation). Be sure to watch the video in full below.

Jason Momoa will also be making an appearance as Aquaman. Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is set to open in theaters on March 25th, 2016.

Scoot McNairy is an amazing actor. If he's playing such a second hand character like jimmy olsen, it's kind of unfortunate

I guess this is an official confirmation that she is playing Mercy Graves.

@Meteor He's playing Bruce Wayne's assistant. Not a big role, which is unfortunate because he's [frick]ing amazing in HALT AND CATCH FIRE.

I was reading about this earlier and it's good it is finally official. The person I want to know what character he will be playing is Callan Mullvey though.

Old news.

She was great on Hannibal! I'm sure she'll be great no matter her role size.

I'm still trying to understand how this got on the main.

Considering Wonder Woman is in this movie, Mercy Graves most likely going to be an Amazon like her comic book counterpart.

@Kr08
My fingers are crossed "Hannibal" gets picked up by another network. And how did this get onto the main page? Two words: Josh [frick]in' Wilding.

Because editors can load their articles directly to main. That way they make money.

She is very tiny. Hard to see her as a bodyguard. But, if there's anything I trust Snyder with, it's female characters. Be interested to see just how important her role is.

@MercwithMouth She is 1.77 and she is badass

By tiny I meant thin. And I know she's a good actress. She was great in the Wolverine and I've heard she is awesome on Hannibal. Like I said, I'm not worried at all. Snyder is good with female characters, so there's nothing to worry about. Out of context it's tough for me to see her as a bodyguard.

Ok, if we have a Mercy, then there definitely needs to be an Otis.

Callan Mulvey is in command of the Superman soldiers. You didn't hear it from me.

Cool, i love seeing smaller characters fight people twice their size and win because usually those fights seem to be the best choreographed (plus its just bad ass)
