Lauren Cohan to Play [Redacted] in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

We are now two months away from the release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. However, yet another key casting announcement has been made for the film. It has been speculated that The Walking Dead alum Lauren Cohan had a role in the movie, and now, IMDb has confirmed this. Normally, IMDb is very unreliable for this type of thing, as anybody can go in and edit a movie’s page to include any info, true or false. However, Cohan herself retweeted the news on Twitter, so that confirms it.

So, according to IMDb, Lauren Cohan is playing none other than Martha Wayne, the mother of Bruce Wayne/Batman. There is a flashback sequence in Batman v Superman that retells the deaths of Bruce’s parents, featuring Jeffrey Dean Morgan as father Thomas Wayne. Both he and Cohan can be seen in the following screenshot from the Comic-Con trailer.

So, Cohan has a small but key role in Batman v Superman. Very interesting. Stay tuned for more news as we have it.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is scheduled to hit theaters March 25th. The second installment in the DC Extended Universe stars Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Jesse Eisenberg, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Jeremy Irons, Holly Hunter and Gal Gadot. Zack Snyder directs from a script by Chris Terrio and David S. Goyer.
