The cast of "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" is getting bigger and bigger. The highly anticipated movie is going to feature a slew of superheroes and villains with a star-studded cast. According to the latest update, Zack Snyder and his crew have added another villain, who will be having a brief appearance in the 2016 movie.

Badass Digest broke the news and reported that Batvillain Anatoli Knyazev a.k.a. KGBeast will also be seen on the big screen collaborating with the main villain Lex Luthor in "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice." The report notes that KGBeast is one of the agents of Lex Luthor who is determined to take down Batman as well as Superman to accomplish his ulterior motives.

According to the report, KGBeast was first heard of in 1988's classic "Ten Nights of the Beast" story. In the comic, he was on a mission to assassinate 10 people in the U.S. and he committed the crime with "extreme measures including poisoning an entire 200 person dinner party." He even fought Batman and escaped him after cutting his own hand. The website states that the movie will not be seeing the abovementioned character version of KGBeast. The report also confirms the appearance of Doomsday. Meanwhile, fans know that there is Jason Mamoa's Aquaman and Ray Fisher's Cyborg in the movie. Furthermore, it is reported that "Joker already exists" and Superman is aware of him. However, the character will not be seen in the movie.

The first time KGBeast's name was associated to the movie was when the character was seen in an issue of "Aquaman and the Others." Comic Book picked the news and speculations followed.

Meanwhile, referring to the scoop by Badass Digest about Joker's existence, Movie Web is speculating that the film is expected to "create a direct link" with another DC Comics movie "Suicide Squad." Even though Jared Leto's character would not be seen in "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice," there will reportedly be a reference of him at some point in the story. Fans must note that this is mere speculation and must be treated like one. What actually happens remains to be seen.

"Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" stars Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonderwoman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Diane Lane as Martha Kent and Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. Also joining the cast in unspecified roles are Scoot McNairy, Jena Malone, Holly Hunter and more. The film is scheduled to be released on March 25, 2016.
