Is Jena Malone Playing Female Robin in BATMAN V SUPERMAN?
The latest rumor surrounding Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is that the film will feature a female Robin a.k.a. Carrie Kelly played by actress Jena Malone. This news comes from a local news station in Detroit Michigan where the film is currently shooting. One of the things they are currently shooting involves Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) and Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg). You can read more about that here, but click at your own risk because there are spoilers.
WILX-10 News reporter Kirk Montgomery talked with one of the extras at Michigan State University, who said, “I’ve also learned that the character of Robin is now female.” On top of that Malone, who recently appeared in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, has been seen on the set of the film sporting a new red hairdo.
Rumors that we would see a female Robin started practically when the movie was first announced because it's loosely based on Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. I could easily see Malone taking on the character of Carrie Kelley, not only acting wise, but she has also worked with Snyder before on the film Sucker Punch. So I wouldn't be surprised if they are working together again. There's been not official confirmation of this, but it's what all signs are pointing too right now.
You know what sucks about that extra who spilled the info? He could faces a $5 million fine because he signed a non-disclosure agreement with Warner Bros. If they find out who he is, well… he shouldn't have talked.
Below you'll find a video of the report thanks to The Wrap, and under that is a recent photo of Malone with her red hair posted on her Instagram page.
