well, tao as lex confirmed.
What about Mercy Graves? It sounds interesting.
If she shows up in these days with a bodyguard suit and side by side with Lex. Well....![]()
It's possible that lex will shave the heads of all his employees just so that everyone at lexcorp will be equal.
Tao as Shiva would be a delight. A great choice for a first in live action portrayal.
Finally, in another possible clarification on the casting, ComicBook.com says:
Japanese actress Tao Okamoto (The Wolverine) is playing Lex Luthors assistant, who is named Mercy. In the comic books and Superman animated series, Mercy Graves is Lexs personal assistant and body guard, where she is portrayed as highly intelligent and experienced in hand-to-hand combat. That hand-to-hand combat is probably only going to be good against Batman, and even then I wouldnt bet against the Dark Knight taking more than a minute to knock her out.
Tao posted this on her Instagram:

I'd go with him playing Corben/Metallo.
Some wounded war/military hero or possibly a wounded soldier from the Metropolis battle who's given a life saving but dangerous and experimental procedure from some dodgy scientists and doctors. Pretty much Metallo from Secret Origin.
