This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]467725[/split]
I clearly distinguished the two in my last sentences. Even said I wouldn't want him for the part because of I doubt in his range. Skim, much?Please...do not tell me you're comparing his wrestling persona to the layered role of Luthor. Good lord.
I don't care enough to prove anything to you though, I'm only talking about this because he had a meeting with WB's CEO.
You've obviously watched movies featuring the Rock, and you didn't like his acting. He's not for everyone, I don't care enough to/won't be able to convince you of his skills.
If you're interested, seek out more of his work yourself
If you don't want to provide proof, that's no big deal to me at all. I just can't fathom how someone thinks the Rock is worthy of playing Luthor, yet doesn't have a role that highlights his acting abilities for such a task. Oh well.![]()
Since Goyer did a decent job of making me care about Zod, I'm hoping he can do the same for Luthor, who barely pings my radar for an interesting villain (Heresy! I know, I know, but he's boring). Has he done anything really, really intriguing ever? Someone point me in the direction of a good Lex story, please. Oh, and don't say All-Star Superman, because though it's considered another fannish heresy, I hate that book.

There are plenty of great stories featuring Lex Luthor, but you need to start with All-Star Superman because... Oh. You can't be helped.
Luthor is one of the best villains, easily up there with the likes of the Joker, when done right. He just hasn't been done right onscreen before which means Snyder has an incredible opportunity here, especially when there's probably alot of people that share your opinion of the character.Considering that Luthor is about as boring a villain as you can get, I don't see the problem.![]()

Azarello's Lex Luthor, Birthright, S:TAS are examples of how to do the character well.
Zack Snyder isn't casting Dwayne the big fat action star as Luthor opposite Affleck/Cavil.
Who started this rumor?
Not an awful actor, but an awful choice for Luthor.Dwayne is fine in Fast 5 and six, Snitch, The Other Guys, and Reno 911 Take Miami. None of these roles prove he could do a great Lex, but they prove he at least has range and that he's not a truly awful actor. Maybe you think he is a truly awful actor, but a lot of people disagree with that, and he keeps getting roles, so he's doing something right. That being said, I prefer Cranston, but I'll defend Johnson as Lex.

Range to me is what Cranston has. To go from a character like Hal in Malcolm in the Middle to Walter White in Breaking Bad is some serious skills. Not that I want him for Luthor, or anything.
Well duh. Cranston is one of the greatest living actors.
That's something we can both agree on.![]()
