While Warner Bros. is still unsure of what to call the movie known as the \u201cZack Snyder Untitled Superman\/Batman Film,\u201d the studio is closer to releasing all of the star power behind the hugely anticipated new film, expected to be released in theaters on May 6, 2016.<\/p>\n

Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that Oscar\u00ae-winning actress Holly Hunter, Callan Mulvey of 300: Rise of an Empir<\/i>e, and Tao Okamoto of The Wolverine<\/i> have joined the cast, all playing roles newly created for the film.<\/p>\n

Snyder stated, \u201cHolly has always been one of my favorite actresses; she has immense talent and is always captivating on screen.\u00a0 I had an opportunity to meet her a while back and knew instantly that I had to work with her, so as we began writing the script I made sure to create a role specifically for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just had the good fortune to work with Callan on 300: Rise of an Empire<\/i> and was very impressed with his incredible talent,\u201d the director continued.\u00a0 \u201cHe\u2019s a fantastic actor and I\u2019m looking forward to having the chance to work with him again.\u00a0 And, quite simply, Tao is a striking presence whose beauty is aptly rivaled by her amazing abilities as an actress.\u00a0 I\u2019m really excited to have her joining us on this adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Originally, the project began as a sequel to last year\u2019s Man of Steel<\/i>, and still is to some extent, but as the cast and character list grows, it appears the Warner Bros. and DC Comics is coming closer to creating a Justice League movie in response to Marvel\u2019s ever-popular The Avengers<\/i>.<\/p>\n
