February 10, 2015: Christina Wren to Return in "Batman v Superman"

Christina Wren, who played Major Carrie Farris in "Man of Steel", has revealed that her character will return in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice".

So how did you find out you'd be returning for "Batman v Superman?"

The casting director just got in touch with me. I got to know her a bit through the first project, "Man of Steel" because she had to hunt me down a little bit; she just called me directly, which is always nice. It's more personal.

Wait - she had to hunt for you?

[After the Athenos hummus commercial,] Zach Snyder... had his casting director track me down. I didn't know what I was auditioning for; it was called "Untitled Warner Bros. Project."... They got back to me a few days later and asked if I would audition for a part as a military officer. I was trying to figure out - is this a scifi? Is this a military movie?... I [asked], "Am I allowed to know what the movie is?" And they said, "You can't tell anybody - but it's the new 'Superman' movie."

And your work on "Batman v Superman" is already done, correct?

Yeah. We filmed mostly in August; I was out in Detroit. Back a little bit in September.

I know you can't say much about the movie right now - but what can you tell us?

I can tell you that I think it's going to be badass! They're just such an awesome team. The bits that I was on set for look fantastic; everyone in it is fantastic. It's exciting; it's high-energy; it's high-action. They are addressing all of the things that they set up in "Man of Steel."

Doesn't your character play a key role in the comic books? Is there any chance that'll be reflected on the big screen, either in this film or a future installment?

So there's some gossip; this has not been officially confirmed with me at all. But my character's name is Carrie Farris; there's a character named Carol Farris who's the Green Lantern's girlfriend and turns into this superhero, Star Sapphire. But I have no idea if that's the plan; they're not even slated to do a Green Lantern film for several years.
