The Official Lex Luthor Casting Thread - Part 5

[Eddie Dean]

I wouldn't complain if he were Lex, but Benedict Cumberbatch has been my choice for Brainiac for ages. He was made for that role, imo.

 

[Marvin]

Yul Brenner for sure.

 

[Young Superman]

How about Michael C. Hall as Lex Luthor?

 

[Rowsdower!]

 

[Marvin]

 

[Wheels]

^ You forget Dana White.

 

[Showtime]

Are we back to the "people are bald so they should be Lex" choices?

 

[HighFivingMF]

I hope WB posts up a press release that doesn't list an actor, but simply says Lex will have hair and they're taking fan suggestions for who to cast. The internet will explode.

 

[MadVillainy]

I just saw a great movie called "In the Company of Men".
The way Aaron Eckhart's character is is how I like to see Lex. Immoral, manipulative, and sick

Jim Rash for Lex! He's bald and an Academy Award winner!

 

[Rust]

The baldest actor around.

I betcha there would still be a few people insisting Billy Zane is the perfect choice, even with hair

That's a great movie and yeah, I totally agree. Eckhart is one ruthless SOB in that movie and his character is an ideal Lex type.

well im bald so i guess i should get the role.

 

[I Am The Knight]

They should Michael Clarke Duncan Lex in this one. That way Kurosawa's Kingpin nightmare would be complete.

 

[N7 Joseph Shepard]

I agree, He looks like an alien, good choice for Brainyac.

how does someone spell Brainiac wrong when the correct spelling is in the quote of the post they spelled it wrong in?

Anyway yea the guy who plays a Young Sherlock Holmes would be good for either Brainiac or Luthor, has that creep factor t:

 

[Brian2887]

Patrick Wilson x1000.

 

[Kurosawa]

They should Michael Clarke Duncan Lex in this one. That way Kurosawa's Kingpin nightmare would be complete.

Luthor doesn't HAVE to be bald:

Although when I think of Luthor, I think of this:

Rosenbaum was really the ultimate Luthor. They need someone like him, and they need to give Lex that kind of depth.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

make it so!

 

[Project862006]

Matthew Mcconaughey for LEX

great actor,very smooth talker,charming,good looking,older but has a very younger look

and going off Killer Joe trailer he is playing a villain very well

 

[shauner111]

I thought of Guy Pearce for the role about a week before he was cast as the villain in Iron Man 3. Yes i know he can still do both, but it seems unlikely now that he'll want to.

Michael C. Hall is an inspired choice, his run on Dexter ends by the very end of 2013. So it could be great timing. And you know he'll want to transition right into film. I can't see him doing more tv series'.

Any suggestion for Andre Agassi is goddamn hilarious btw!

Matthew Mcconaughey for LEX

Mentioned him before, I thought he would be perfect

 

[Rowsdower!]

Can McConaughey drop the accent? If so, I'd be down for it.

 

[Majik1387]

Worst suggestion in a while. Way to up the ante guys.
