UPDATE: Jena Malone has been cut from Batman v Superman theatrical release, will feature in R-rated Ultimate Edition

March 3, 2016 by Gary Collinson

There’s been a tonne of speculation as to which character Jena Malone could be playing in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but it seems we’ll have to wait a little longer to find out the answer as Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the actress has been cut from the theatrical release of the movie.

However, the site also reveals that she will feature in the R-rated Ultimate Edition of the movie, which is said to include more new characters, along with “even more brutal fight scenes as well as additional hints at future films.”

UPDATE: Director Zack Snyder has debunked the rumours surrounding Malone’s character, stating that: “I think we should keep it private, but it’s nothing that’s been talked about. She’s definitely not Robin or Batgirl. I’m happy to say that.”

Fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.
