Some time ago, a photo of someone carrying a big painting was spotted on the set of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice". The subject on the painting was very much like "Watchmen" star Jeffrey Dean Morgan. When he recently stopped by "Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the actor responded to speculations that he would be reteaming with director Zack Snyder in the film.
The man in the painting was presumably Bruce Wayne's (Mark Ruffalo) murdered father, Dr. Thomas Wayne, and Morgan was rumored to play the character in the upcoming superhero movie. When Jimmy Kimmel asked Morgan whether the man in the painting was really him or not, the actor vaguely responded, "God dang, it sure looks like me, doesn't it?" He added carefully, trying not to spoil anything, "I think you probably have to go watch the movie to see if that's me, but it looks a lot like me, man." What he said didn't cleary answer the question and it is still unclear until now if he will make appearance in the movie or not.
Based on DC comic books, "Dawn of Justice" will pit Henry Cavill's Man of Steel against Ben Affleck's The Dark Knight. Also joining the cast are Jesse Eisenberg who plays Lex Luthor, Jason Momoa who stars as Aquaman, and Amy Adams who portrays Lois Lane. Produced by Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder, the movie is scheduled for a release in the U.S. on March 25, 2016.
