‘Batman V Superman’: Leaked Set Photo Reveals New Character, Hints Jena Malone’s Role—Report
The cast and crew of "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" recently headed to Chicago to continue filming. While in the Windy City, a photo leaked online revealed another character has been added to the existing cast.
While filming continues in Chicago, someone managed to take a photo of what appears to be a cast member's trailer parked at the production base. The photo was posted online by Movieweb courtesy of Twitter user Filming in Chicago. The image was captioned "All is quiet at base camp."
What's intriguing about the photo, according to Movieweb, is the name posted on the trailer door that says "Kahina Double." In the DC Comics, Kahina is believed to be a seer since she is gifted with the ability to see the future. She is reportedly also a member of the group called The Others. This group is said to be hunters of the Aquaman villain called Black Manta.
Kahina's involvement in "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" has yet to be announced. However, according to the site, actress Jena Malone could be playing the character. She was reportedly recently added to the cast with an unconfirmed role. It's supposedly possible that she has landed the role of the seer. Likewise, the character's presence in the movie reportedly also opens up questions about Aquaman's involvement in "BVS." However, it's still uncertain how Kahina's presence could be linked to the aquatic superhero's story in the sequel.
Jena Malone was previously also rumoured to be playing the female Robin character, Carrie Kelly. According to Screenrant, the actress was first reported to have a role in the film when she was spotted on set with director Zack Snyder. Then Jena herself hinted her character in the movie when she posted a somewhat cryptic photo on Instagram. According to the site, she hinted that she could be playing female Robin with her selfie where she's seen sporting bright red hair. Screenrant posted the photo, which was captioned, "Drastic times call for drastic measures."
However, Jena Malone's involvement in "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" has yet to be officially announced. Whether she is playing the role of Kahina or as the female Robin remains unclear.
