BvS Lex Luthor Casting Thread - Part 3

[Loki882]

Personally, I think that Pitt has plenty of range as an actor. I've certainly seen him portray different kinds of characters convincingly. McConaughey would also be a great choice, he's going through a major career renaissance at the moment. However, my #1 choice would still be Michael C. Hall.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Aiden Gillen as Lex...? Decent actor. But he would get pretty much no people excited about his interpretation of Lex. I can't see Snyder handing such a big role over to him

 

[MrMaooz]

Pitt would kill it as Lex.

 

[Loki882]

Angelina Jolie can play Mercy, lol.

 

[regwec]

She could play Lex. That would be somewhat more interesting.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Ezra miller for lex. I've never seen him in anything , but I know he's a fantastic actor based on my never having seen him act.

Tyrese is also bald, perfect lex.
Mike Myers was bald in a movie, he'd be great for lex too.
Stanley tucci, Alan arkin, Sean Connery all bald, would be awesome lexs

 

[MrMaooz]

Yeah, man. What have I been saying? Tyrese Gibson would kill it. He's learned a lot about acting by working with Michael Bay.

 

[Sub-Zero]

Ya I don't know why people would be against it. Great actor and bald. Excellent choice if I do say so mysef

 

[regwec]

They could dig up one of the truly great screen actors, like Richard Burton. I bet he is bald by now.

The man has some serious range. Go watch Transformers and Fast and Furious if you don't believe me. Seriously, what a great actor! He's got a big bald head too!

God I am literally choking on the snark.

you dont have to tell me. i know great bald actors when i see them. what i dont get is why people think some actor with hair can shave his head and be bald. c'mon people they would cast an already been bald(abb) actor before they shave someones head for this role. its lex luthor!!! tyrese was born to play him.

 

[NoLaNitE007]

Brad Pitt as Lex?

gotta say, i like that idea

could totally see him pull it off

Yes. I think he would a good choice. Him and McConaghey would bring the same type characterization for Lex IMO.

Those two actors would also work well with Afflecks Bruce Wayne as possible friends/business contemporaries and or as friendly rivals who respect eachother....but when Bruce finds out Lex is up to no good when it comes to Superman and the use of Kryptonian tech....things change of course within their relationship.

Have Pitt go to his shaved low cut hair look (not completely bald) McConaghey can do the same or he has gone completely bald in the past in Reign of Fire.

Oh...like the Terry O'Quinns of the world? Ha!

 

[Sub-Zero]

now you're getting it!!!

so bald, so perfect. tyrese and George Constanza are my top picks though.

Didn't Snyder say that he didn't necessarily think that Lex NEEDED to be bald? So maybe Lex will have hair in the next movie, or maybe he'll star with hair and lose it over the course of the movie.

 

[regwec]

Maybe he'll start without it, then grow it.

Lex really doesn't need to be bald. There is nothing unusual about being bald in this day and age. I do hope whoever is cast is at least willing to shave his head if need be.

[regwec]

Not sure that's in the best taste.

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

i wasn't aware this thread was that classy.

For older Lex - Among my other suggestions, Ray Wise wold be fantastic
