BvS Lex Luthor Casting Thread - Part 4

[StarLord]

I would laugh my ass off if he showed up to set like this.

 

[Serpico Jones]

Just speculating here, but... if Phoenix is being targeted and turns down the role, who do you see WB going after in his place?

It seems like they want a big name actor in that role.

If Phoenix is being targeted for Lex this would be a dream come true. For years I've been promoting him for Lex.

Please let this happen!!!

Someone like Matthew McConaughey. Actors who have been in the awards/accolades market for a the past few years yet have shown talent all their lives. Actors like that.

 

[NosfeRomas]

Probably Daniel Day Lewis.

 

[charl_huntress]

All the other names we've been mentioning?

 

[GreenKToo]

I would love for this to happen but i have my doubts. We'll see.

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

I disagree with that. Compared to other similar actors cast in recent franchises most people don't even remember her from F&F.

like who? with the exception of ben,rdj, chris evans, most of them are unknown. because you or a couple of people knew of cavill from the tudors doesn't mean he wasn't unknown. that's about as unknown as someone cast in these films usually is.

Someone of equal prowess and prestige I would guess.

Hmmm, Pitt? DiCaprio? Damon? Hanks? One of the big names I can think of so far.

Yeah, I think he would be good too.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Probably Daniel Day Lewis.

DAMN method acting would go to another level. t:

 

[Rowsdower!]

DDL would never do this, not in a million years. Phoenix also seems like the type who wouldn't, but I think there's a chance. DDL is a pipedream though.

Like who? Those are the ones? Can you name any other recent casting? And Cavill was more known than Gadot. Don't even try to go there.

 

[NosfeRomas]

For some reason DDL seems more likely do do a big blockbuster with a rich history than any other actor of his caliber.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

All the other names we've been mentioning?

The other names that are not T.V actors or Billy Zane. I'm sorry I love television actors, they are just as talented as any other actor but unless every movie actor turns the role down they aren't getting an actor primarily known for their T.V work. That's why I always and continue to think that Bryan Cranston talk was a bunch of hooey.

 

[ares834]

If they got him to play Lex, this would be awesome. Great choice.

 

[BH/HHH]

Phoenix would be a top choice

 

[DorneyDave]

If this movie lands Phoenix as Luthor....wow. That'd be quite an awesome casting choice in my opinion.

Make it happen! Imagine a scene with Affelck's Batman, Cavill's Superman and Phoenix's Luthor.


Permission to nerd freak out.

Agreed. I'm definitely thinking they will go with someone that is movie A-list. Just looking at the past film Lex Luthors and that is a good bet.

 

[Gee]

I can see him yelling something along this to Supes...

Oh, come on. We all know Billy Zane is an A-Lister.

YES! YEEEESSSSSS!

GOD! I am so on board with this rumor!

 

[charl_huntress]

t: lol....lol

Yes, if you're substituting that A for what I think you are...lol

 

[Rowsdower!]

I can't wait to see Billy Zane as Dex *****er in the Asylum rip-off version of this movie.
