Filming is taking place on location at Michigan Motion Picture Studios and "on location in and around Detroit, Michigan; Illinois; Africa; and the South Pacific," the announcement reveals.
Upon first glance, the Dawn of Justice subtitle appears to allude to the highly anticipated Justice League movie, set for release in 2018. With both Batman and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) in Batman v. Superman, it appears that the studio is gearing up for the epic teaming up of D.C.'s greatest superheroes.
In addition to Affleck, Cavill and Gadot, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice stars Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, Diane Lane as Martha Kent and Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne's butler. Holly Hunter will also be in the film, though her role is unknown. Additionally, Ray Fisher has allegedly been confirmed to be playing Cyborg.
Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice is scheduled for release in theaters on May 6, 2016.
