This from one scooper...

Cousin auditioned for Lex Luthor in Man of Steel this week. He won't say anything about it - they had to sign something - but doubts he will get it. He's 32, medium height, thin, brown hair (yes, not bald). non-news, but something in there might be worthwhile.

@TheGODDAMNSUPERGUY HAMM turns 40 next month thats like 12 year age gap, you need some one a bit younger some one thats in there early or mid thirties.

@LEEE I have to disagree with you dude Viggo's perfect for Jor-El

And the one good thing that ever came out of smallville was the the friendship between clark kent and lex luthor they were pretty much like brothers. They should hint that in the movies subtly and Lex has to be in this movie because the lex luthor that popped up in the past movies was never the REAL lex luthor much more cold, calculated and manipulative. Plus Lex thinks he's the hero and supermans the villain. None of this was ever shown on the big screen.

@JxXxR - Great Jay-Z quote... and very appropriate. Who the F(rick) is the museum guy...lol

Vigo is too old @Leee777
(Good cast though)

Billy Zane. He looks like the one from the Animated Series.

superman vs lex and errrrmmm yeah maybe nature(a little earthquake perhapse) and then maybe some missiles.
no one would think of that. ahh what a film it would be.

note: 'sarcasm'
comicb00kguy - 2/2/2011, 10:15 AM
Thank God! The very idea of Superman fighting anyone else is ludicrous! Everyone knows that Luthor is the only villain Superman has ever fought in his seventy-plus years of existence.

Sadly, this is how the idiots who inflict these movies on us think. They've never heard of interesting villains like Brianiac or Darkseid who would give Superman an epic fight. Nobody wants to see an action-packed fight with someone who has the strength and power to possibly defeat Superman. No, we all want to see a bald guy who has no powers and has to use glowing rocks to have any chance at victory. meh.
woodsy100 - 2/2/2011, 10:23 AM
Yep, agree with the posts saying he has to be there - not as the primary villain, maybe not even as a villain at all (save it for the sequel?)
In Nolan we trust...in Nolan we trust...

No Doomsday. No watch.

I wanna see Superman DIE.

NO GOD PLEASE NO MORE LEX! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO MORE LEX!

@JosePetrelli12 lol props on someone knowing where the quote is from lol i could of sworn it would of gotten some "???"
WorldsGreatestdetective - 2/2/2011, 11:29 AM
BILLY ZANE!

You got to have Lex. He isn't someone like the Joker who can show up in the second movie, he has to be there from the beginning. He doesn't have to be the main villain, though.
mkn - 2/2/2011, 11:45 AM
I think Lex shouldn't have a slaphead, he should have Prison Break level hair.

MICHAEL C HALL for Lex. Watch Gamer, for his turn as the brilliant CEO.

He's very age appropriate, for a CEO, who has presedential aims.

I don't mind Lex being there - he is a big part of the mythology, but I'd like him to be in the background and not really a villian - at least not revealed to be one until the end of the film or in the sequel.

Viggo for Lex? I see him more General Zod and Guy Pearce for Lex.
superj89 - 2/2/2011, 12:33 PM
Michael C Hall



bubba27 - 2/2/2011, 2:39 PM
@superj89

U stole my pick but I think Michael C Hall would be the perfect Lex.Also...

Hugh Laurie=Perry White
Rachal McAdams=Lois Lane
Denn1s - 2/2/2011, 3:50 PM
if luthor is the main villain, then at least give him the [frick]ing exoskeleton so he can fight with supes. i wanna see him finally punching someone for [frick]'s sake!!!
Supes17 - 2/2/2011, 4:04 PM
@Arminies, Aim for the bushes
marvel72 - 2/2/2011, 4:06 PM
you can have lex luthor,but you still need a villain for superman to have a punch up with.
Unreal2k9 - 2/2/2011, 4:56 PM
I have the feeling that Lex won't be in this film but I really think you can't do a proper Superman film without him. Being a Smallville fan, whenever I think of Lex I always think of a Lex much closer in age to Clark Kent. I think Timothy Olyphant would be perfect in the role.
Knightstalker - 2/2/2011, 7:03 PM
I don't see the problem with Lex Luthor being significantly older than Superman. Ladies, please let go of all you have absorbed from ten years of the Smallville show. Lex Luthor is a superpower in the world of finance and corporate entities. I just can't see him being a twentysomething emo brat that just got handed the reins to a multibillion dollar, multinational empire company and being any significant threat to Superman.
LP4 - 2/2/2011, 9:14 PM
Luthor HAS to be in this film. And I mean the REAL Lex Luthor, NOT the lame hackman/spacey versions.

Luthor is Superman's achilles heel. Luthor needs to be in the movie.

Brainiac/Luthor teamup FTW!!!!

Older Lex- Billy Zane (looks and sounds like STAS version)

Younger Lex- Timothy Olyphant (dude looks like Lex)

@CBM Contributer- Most of the time u post made up BULLSHIT. I hope this aint one of them.
Optimus83 - 2/3/2011, 1:40 PM
Billy Zane born to Lex Luthor, is equal to The Animated series. ...

Bye

The actor they cast as Lex cannot be more famous then the actor they cast as Superman. Just like they said in regards to casting a female lead.
