There are several exciting developments in the upcoming DC flick 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,' and the film might be adding two new characters to the already stellar cast!
It was recently reported that Eli Snyder, son of director Zack Snyder, would play Robin in a flashback scene in the movie. However, there were also speculations that the film will feature a female Robin, and she will be portrayed by none other than 'The Hunger Games' star Jena Malone.
Although it seems highly unlikely that Carrie Kelley will appear in 'Batman v Superman,' Latino-Review has claimed that Jena Malone will appear in the film as another Bruce Wayne ally.

The actress has previously worked with Zack Snyder in the all-girl action film 'Sucker Punch,' and would be an excellent choice to play Barbara Gordon in 'Dawn of Justice.' The question still remains as to whether the character will be seen as the spunky Batgirl or as the injured Oracle.
Whether she suits up or not, Jena Malone's Barbara Gordon may be up against a formidable foe. Heroic Hollywood has just reported that Callan Mulvey might be joining 'Batman v Superman' as Lex Luthor's right hand man Anatoli Knyazev.

According to the website, the Russian agent is better known as KGBeast. The character was first introduced as a Batman villain in the comic book 'Batman' #417, and has also been featured in the animated film 'Batman: Assault of Arkham.'
Will Barbara Gordon and KGBeast make an appearance in 'Batman v Superman?' Warner Bros. had no comment on the casting.
'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' stars Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne, Henry Cavill as Clark Kent, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Gal Gadot as Diana Prince, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth. The film hits theaters on March 25, 2016.
