The Greatest Criminal Mind of Our Time: Nicholas Hoult IS Lex Luthor

[Sawyer]

I think you can still tell that something's off (especially if you have an eye for that sort of thing) regardless of those factors, but yeah, it certainly didn't help.

Yeah, I mean, it’s definitely not a perfect job, but it’s something I also noticed with Bryan Cranston the couple of times he reprised Walter White after Breaking Bad ended.

 

[Monochron]

Will probably never be considered but Gabriel Macht could be great as Luthor. Another one could be Anson Mount (if he and Gunn are on good terms)

 

[Andrew92]

The "Donner/Nolan method" is the right way to go: you cast a relatively unknown actor as Supes and then you surround him with A listers.The 2023 equivalent of casting Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor? This guy:

Would’ve been great either a decade or two ago, or opposite a 40-50 something Supes.

Opposite a Superman who was born a whole year after he played Malcolm X? Ehh… I dunno. There are better ways to evoke the Donner method than having Corenswet fight a near-septuagenarian.

I am against Superman's greatest enemy being someone who gets a senior discount at the movie theater.

I think John David Washington would be a good Lex.

(Denzel could be Lionel)

 

[Eddie Dean]

Denzel doesn’t take supporting roles unless you are Ridley Scott.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

Denzel would make a great Perry. Just sayin'.

 

[DCDAVE]

Phillip Seymour Hoffman would have been the perfect Lex. Currently watching Mission Impossible 3. Phillip’s villain turned the series around.

 

[Silvermoth]

Yeah I do miss him. What a brilliant actor

 

[GreenKToo]

Wes Bentley would be pretty good as Lex.
But if I got my wish, I'd cast Matthew McConaughey.
2nd would be Edris Elba.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Do we think the recent trend of Lex having a beard will continue?

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

I hope not.

[Sawyer]

Nothing stops me from jumping on the hype train for a rumor like a censored url.

 

[Andrew92]

Craig's brilliant, he would be a great pick.

 

[Silvermoth]

Oh yeah I would love that

 

[chamber-music]

Craig was a great villain in Road To Perdition.

Which allies and employees of Lex Luthor would you guys like to see?

Lex's assistants Sydney Happersen, Eve Teschmacher and Spalding. Lex's amazon bodyguards
Hope Taya and Mercy Graves. Lexcorp head of security Finch. Sebastian Mallory the ambitious
Junior Lexcorp Exec and rival to Jimmy Olsen.

 

[Iceman]

Do we think the recent trend of Lex having a beard will continue?

I’d personally prefer him not to, at least not a thick beard like the last 2. It starts to dominate his look at that point which I don’t want from something that isn’t a staple of his classic appearance.

 

[Silvermoth]

It’s a shame Hoult is no longer in the running. I would have liked to see that. But I suppose Bill Skarsgard is the next best option

Lee Pace.

 

[Invader Joker]

Jake Gyllenhaal.


Looking back at the All-Star Superman comic I don't even get why Gunn would want a Luthor of the same height as Superman since there is quite a gap between the two and it'd be kinda funn to see him recreate that visual.

Alexander Skarsgard.

Alexander Skarsgard.

Austin Butler.

Austin Butler.

Austin Powers.
