The Batman vs Superman news and rumors about the movie and cast continue coming out, with the latest reports addressing who could be part of the movie or who will not be.

Let’s take a look at some of them.

-Josh Holloway of “Lost” fame is being considered for a role, reported ComicBookMovie, citing a source. The website speculates that Holloway could be cast as Aquaman-Arthur Curry.

-Jason Momoa is not involved with the movie, he told IGN. The “Game of Thrones” actor said that “I want to say something amazing, but I can’t comment on rumors. It’s flattering. I’m not involved in it.”

-Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson could be in the movie, though a film tells Latino Review that he won’t be. Johnson teased involvement in a DC film, which set off speculation about whether he'd be in Batman vs. Superman. However, the report claims that Johnson was instead referring to a “Justice League” movie, which the end of Batman vs. Superman will lead into. “They want to be able to deliver the second film within a year to strike while the iron is hot,” the report claims.

-The film is going to focus on Superman--Henry Cavill will be the main actor, according to rumors and inside information from the Batman-on-Film blog. “Batfleck will play a major role in the movie; but I suspect that one of the main reasons for Batman’s inclusion is to establish a new ‘DCU on Film Batman’ and set up future solo Bat-flicks,” wrote Bill “Jett” Ramey. “Same goes for Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman – though I think her role is much smaller than BA’s Batman.”
