Walking Dead star Lauren Cohan will have a small role in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Cohan—who stars as Maggie Greene on the AMC show—will play Martha Wayne, a source told Entertainment Weekly. The Walking Dead's Jeffrey Dean Morgan will play Thomas Wayne.


Director Zack Snyder hasn't discussed Batman's origin story, but this casting shows that'll have at least some impact on the film. As told in the comics, Bruce Wayne's parents are killed by a Gotham criminal when Wayne still a young boy—a moment that plays heavily in the beginnings of Batman.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will hit theaters on March 25. Along with Affleck, the film also stars Henry Cavill as Superman and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman.

The Dawn of the Justice League special aired on The CW earlier this week and gave us a peek at Batman v Superman, as well as a few other flicks in the DC Cinematic Universe.
