One of the highlights of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was Alfred Pennyworth, played wonderfully by Jeremy Irons. This take on Bruce Wayne’s butler is a worthy addition to the long line of portrayals of the character. Alfred also added to several of the film’s more humorous moments, while Irons had flawless chemistry with Ben Affleck. So, it’s exciting to hear that he will be back for Zack Snyder’s next DC movie. Irons has confirmed to Showbiz411 (via Batman-News) that he will reprise his role as Alfred in Justice League, which began shooting a few weeks ago. No further details on the extent of his role in this film…

In an interview with DP/30 (transcription via Comic Book), J.K. Simmons talks more about his role as Commissioner James Gordon in Justice League. While the DC superhero epic began production a few weeks ago, Simmons reaffirms that he doesn’t start shooting until June. The Oscar winner also reveals that he only has a “very small” in Justice League. This makes sense, given how the movie has to focus on its heroes (there’s at least six of them), the villain(s), and any other supporting characters. However, Simmons implies that we’ll be seeing plenty more of Gordon in future DC movies. “I’m going into a thing that hopefully will be 2, 3,…
