Is There More Than One Amazon In Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice?
With Gal Gadot playing Wonder Woman we know that the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice will have at least one Amazon in the film… but does the trailer show us a second one?
Rumors have been around for a long time that Tao Okamoto (The Wolverine) was going to be playing Mercy Graves opposite of Jessie Eisenberg's Lex Luthor. Well, in the trailer released at SDCC we see Okamoto walking along with a long metal box which was likely the body of General Zod. Yesterday DC Entertainment released a trailer breakdown the specifically refers to Okamoto's character as Mercy Grave and confirms that Zod is in the box.
Just like with Harley Quinn, Graves was created outside of the comics. She appeared first in the 1990's Superman The Animated series and appeared to be Lex Luthor's bodyguard and assistant. She was shown to be a skilled fighter and highly intelligent. From there the character move into the comics with and interesting twist coming in Justice League: Cry For Justice where it was revealed that she was in fact an Amazon like Wonder Woman.
So we know that Okamoto is playing Mercy, but whether Zack Snyder brings in the potential Amazon connection remains to be seen.
