There has been
some discussion about which character Monsters actor Scoot McNairy will be
playing in Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
The actor
recently appeared in some set photos wearing some green knee-socks. The photo
prompted some fans to speculate that perhaps the actor was going to make a
cameo as the Flash, while others (including myself) thought that due to the
fact that the CGI friendly socks only went up to his knees, that perhaps he was
up for the rumored Metallo role, and would have robotic legs.
Well it seems
that it's neither. According to The Devils Eyes, McNairy will play Jimmy Olsen,
who was one of the countless victims of Superman's battle with Zod in Man of
Steel, and the green socks are there to remove the actors legs.
"Scoot is playing Jimmy
Olsen, but with a bit of a twist. Jimmy was injured during the battle of Zod vs
Superman. His legs where pinned under falling building rubble and that caused
him to lose the legs. He now walks with the use of two prosthetic legs." The
source goes on to add "He doesn't blame Superman for it [his loss of
legs]. He
feels grateful that Superman saved the world."
As always
take it with a grain of salt, but what do you think of McNairy playing a
slightly different Jimmy Olsen?
