BvS Lex Luthor Casting Thread - Part 3

[smallville fan]

Ejiofor is gonna go places for sure. Another interesting name thrown on here was Giancarlo Esposito.

Unless his character gets killed off on Revolution, that wouldn't be happening any time soon.

 

[Mysteryman]

anyone been watching homeland lately?

Yeah and if that was a reference to ,Damian Lewis , he has not been showing up a lot lately .

 

[Rodrigo90]

Lewis should definitely be a high contender for Lex.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Right, let's brainstorm. I find it helps
Let's all go over the best Oscar nominated candidates. Think of more if I've forgotten any.

Sean Penn
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Clive Owen
Brad Pitt
Leonardo Dicaprio
Daniel Day-Lewis
Javier Bardem
John Hawkes
Tom Hanks
Mel Gibson

Let's go over the best and most likely of these actors and more.

Yeah, that is a bit odd, don't you think?

I'm starting to think the writers don't know what to do with a lot of the characters on the show (mainly Brody and his daughter).

 

[the last son]

Dwayne Johnson. He looks just like STAS Luthor.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

Dwayne Johnson. He looks just like STAS Luthor.

billy zane looks more like the animated series lex.

 

[Jumpin' Jack]

Damian Lewis is a really good shout for Lex Luthor.

 

[keven]

I still think a bald Josh Brolin would make a great Lex.

 

[the last son]

That pic you posted looks like Dwayne Johnson. Even has the people's eyebrow

 

[NosfeRomas]

Vising this topics feels like Groundhog Day.

Let's go over the best and most likely of these actors and more.

Good list, my short list is:
Javir Bardem (I'm intrigued of what does he have for the character)
Daniel Day Lewis
Brad Pitt
Leonardo Di Caprio
Tom Hanks
Mel Gibson (pretty physical don't know about the scientific or bussiness characeter)

 

[Rodrigo90]

With Bardem, I can certainly picture him as TAS Lex

 

[Rowsdower!]

Only if he can drop the accent.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I thought he did for NCFO?

 

[Rowsdower!]

Um, no. He might have toned it down a little bit, but he in no way sounded American.

 

[John-An]

With Bardem, I can certainly picture him as TAS Lex

Yeah but also I see him as Lex Luthor: Man of Steel

 

[Rodrigo90]

Um, no. He might have toned it down a little bit, but he in no way sounded American.

But it's not to say he's incapable of doing an American accent.

He's just never played a character that really requires him to lose his accent. Tone it down, yes. But no reason to lose it.

Exactly... there are room for improve his accent to an American one...

 

[NoLaNitE007]

Ejiofor is gonna go places for sure. Another interesting name thrown on here was Giancarlo Esposito.

I would love to see Chiwetel Ejiofor as MM, John Stewart, or even as Braniac or Darkseid.

 

[NoLaNitE007]

I still think a bald Josh Brolin would make a great Lex.

Yes and yes!

 

[Rodrigo90]

CBN claiming via their "trusted" WB source whatever
that Tom Hanks is in consideration for the role, and Mark Strong is no longer a contender...

 

[Dk1201]

NO Hanks is not good for luthor as someone said about Cranston

He's too Gordon dag nab it!

 

[John-An]

NO Hanks is not good for luthor as someone said about Cranston

He's too Gordon dag nab it!

Cranston would be great as Gordon.. but I see Hanks being Luthor...

 

[Migu-EL]

Denzel Washington would make an interesting Lex. I also like it cause it is an out of the box choice.
