BvS Lex Luthor Casting Thread - Part 4

[Dk1201]

I would love this

 

[The Shape]

Probably Daniel Day Lewis.

 

[Frodo]

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

This is the first casting I can truly say is inspired for this film, more so than Affleck imo.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Phoenix as Lex would be awesome. I consider him in the same league as DDL.

 

[Loki882]

I can already picture Superman and Lex's first meeting "didn't my father kill you already?"

 

[Stringer]

Won't happen but it sure would be nice.

 

[Rocketman]

This would be nothing short of perfect.
Make it happen, WB.
Also... can I just say this would be the BEST comic book casting since Heath Ledger as The Joker? Honest to goodness.

 

[Hyde]

Isn't Phoenix friends with Ben Affleck?

 

[Black Narcissus]

Isn't Phoenix friends with Ben Affleck?

Casey Affleck married his sister.

Ben and Amy will make it happen.

 

[StarLord]

Isn't Phoenix friends with Ben Affleck?

Well Phoenix's sister is married to Casey if that helps.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Yes. Make this happen. I'm a little doubtful of Pheonix saying yes but anyone who knows me here knows I've been saying this for months.

 

[MrsKent26]

Well Phoenix's sister is married to Casey is that helps.

That helps. Sway him Ben and Casey!

 

[Hyde]

Ah yeah, that was it, thanks

Very loose connection but maybe Ben will have a word with him if WB offer him Luthor

 

[Rowsdower!]

Ah, that's right.

But what we should really be thinking about is...

HAS PHOENIX RECENTLY BEEN CAST IN A NOLAN MOVIE? IF SO, THEN HE'S DEFINITELY PLAYING LEX.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

 

[Loki882]

Well they got Costner, Fishburne, Lane, Shannon, and Crowe for the last movie. I don't see why Phoenix is completely out of the realm of possibility.

 

[smallville fan]

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

Maybe back to Denzel?

This is SUPER casting news! With all the impressive groundwork laid out for Luthor in MOS coupled with the Super talent of Phoenix and hopefully a good script we'll have the best movie super-villain seen in a while.

 

[Black Narcissus]

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Denzel as Luthor? Naaah.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

This is piece of potential casting news I want to see come true! Joaquin has been #1 pick to play Lex for the longest time.

 

[MrsKent26]

Awww, yeah.

It's gonna happen. Doesn't he know Amy Adams too?

 

[Tra-El]

Not gonna lie: Phoenix as Lex is as perfect as you can get and I'll literally give myself a self-high five because I'm pathetic like that. DAMN THAT WOULD BE fu#%$% awesome.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Not gonna lie: Phoenix as Lex is as perfect as you can get and I'll literally give myself a self-high five because I'm pathetic like that. DAMN THAT WOULD BE fu#%$% awesome.

I think that will be the new thing in 2014. Selfie high fives.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Awww, yeah.

It's gonna happen. Doesn't he know Amy Adams too?

Yes they've worked on The Master and their latest movie Her which comes out soon.

 

[MrsKent26]

Not gonna lie: Phoenix as Lex is as perfect as you can get and I'll literally give myself a self-high five because I'm pathetic like that. DAMN THAT WOULD BE fu#%$% awesome.

You aren't the only dork. I did a little dance.
