The "Man of Steel" sequel sees Batman (Ben Affleck) and
Superman (Henry Cavill) together on the big screen for the first
time. It also stars Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Gal Gadot
as Wonder Woman.
Audiences can expect elements from both comics in the film as
the two superheroes face off. Irons, 67, portrays Alfred, Bruce
Wayne's technology-savvy butler turned father figure.
"There are so many injustices in the world and in our society,
more and more it seems as we watch the refugees, as we watch the
gap between the rich and the poor, we'd love to be able to do
something about it," Irons said in an interview.
"And our politicians don't seem to be facing that, they're just
worrying about things that don't seem important but catch the
headlines. And I think when you go and see a film like this with
these superheroes it's just two hours where you think 'oh yes,
look how things are being changed, blowing up and I feel
empowered as an audience member', in a strange way."
"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" hits cinemas from March 23.
