Holly Hunter talks ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’, confirms scenes with Superman, Holly Hunter’s role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice still hasn’t been officially announced, but sources told Batman News last summer that she’ll be playing a U.S. Senator. That makes sense, especially with a major action scene taking place in Washington D.C. in the movie.
The Wall Street Journal interviewed Hunter recently, and she talked a little bit about her role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Here’s what she had to say:
[You went from a small movie] to “Batman v Superman,” which probably felt a bit like whiplash.
It was really fun to be part of a giant, massive piece of machinery, headed up by Zack Snyder, who is thoroughly at home in that uber mega environment. Most people would have a nervous breakdown with that kind of pressure, and he’s enthralled.
You’ve never been in this kind of blockbuster movie before. Why did you want to do it now?
Zack asked me. He came to me with an offer, and I was like, “Yeah, that would be fun.” It’s fun to mix it up.
Can you tell us anything about Superman? Or Batman?
I have scenes with Superman. He looks phenomenal. And to see Ben [Affleck, who plays Batman] and Henry [Cavill, who plays Superman] together is quite formidable. They are massive hunks of masculinity.
