Depends what age in human years Superman is... but if we had to work backwards from Lex's age I would say 40-45. I like a Lex that has age on Supes.

Personally, I would want a Lex who's at least 10 years older than Clark. So whomever they choose could be around 10 years older than him.

Jesse Plemons

I wouldn’t hate it, but I still think he’s tailor-made for Reeves’s Bat-verse.

I am on the Josh Brolin train, myself.

Jesse Plemons

Not bad at all

 

[Frodo]

Plemons is my choice for Ben Grimm at Marvel.

 

[GreenKToo]

I think mid 40s to mid 50s, but in really really good shape.
Athletic, but not too muscular because Lex would want to be in the very best shape he could be in, but he wouldn't want to look like a freak either.

Eddie Redmayne.

Lee Pace

He’s too beautiful with hair for it be shaved off or hidden under a bald cap.

Not a bad pick for Jor-El though

 

[Sawyer]

Pace for Jor-El isn’t bad, even if I wouldn’t mind forgoing the extended House of El right off the bat.

 

[FeedOnATreeFrog]

I really could less about seeing Jor El again though

 

[GreenKToo]

Me either, but I think we will, it least in flashback. It seems pretty unavoidable.

I just don't want to have 20 mins or more wasted on Krypton, ie, seeing jor-el arguing with the council again, building a spaceship, sending Kal off, etc etc.

It's like the alleyway scene in Batman.
I don't need to ever see it again.

I hope they do Lex right this time i think the only acceptable Live Action version of Lex is the one from Smallville

I think John Shea was good too, but he wasn't bald like Lex should be.

We'll probably get a goofy, inept version of Lex again for the big screen. Only on the small screen is he more accurate and not a caricature.

What goofy and inept actors do we know?

Lois and Clark had a good Lex Luthor in my opinion. I just love Rosenbaum more.

I mean those takes we've had are valid, their just not what I want.

Rosenbaum or nothing!!!

Other than SV, Lex on film has-been treated as a Joke. Even JE came off as corny, tho I'll wager that wasn't intentional.

If not Billy Magnussen or Jesse Plemons for Lex (I love the For All Seasons vibes his Lex could give) this would, admittedly, be very cool:

But I doubt he wants another 10-year+ commitment, and who knows if he’s really done with the MCU.

Eh I feel he would play it too jokey again and it would be another repeat of the annoying Lex's of the past.

 

[Sawyer]

If we’re aiming for a potential 10+ year long arc for this Lex, I’d be aiming for the age RDJ was going into Iron Man rather than the age he is now.

He woud be a GREAT Lex, sadly I don't think he'd do it. He was rumored for Superman Lives or Jar Jar Abrams' reboot, wasn't he?
