There’s not much to go on here, but Jeremy Irons recently offered a tiny hint regarding how his role of Alfred (to Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne) would be defined in Zack Snyder’s upcoming BATMAN v SUPERMAN film.
Irons wouldn’t divulge much about his upcoming role as Bruce Wayne’s right-hand man in the big-budget Batman v. Superman, but called his Alfred "not a large role" due to the many characters in the Warner Bros. film. "He is quite a different Alfred than we have seen so far. Zack Snyder had very clear views about what he wanted," he said. "I would just say he's more hands-on perhaps than just a butler.”
…says THR HERE.
What Irons seems to be implying here…is the first info bit I’ve heard from this film which has me genuinely intrigued. I’ve always felt there was a great deal of latitude to adapt and explore exactly how Alfred supports Wayne in terms of logistics, back-up, and potentially even Quartermastering or somesuch. Hopefully this is the direction Snyder will point Alfred/Irons when BvS:DOJ opens March 2016.
