The Official Lex Luthor Casting Thread - Part 6

[Nemeres]

Yeah, she probably said it to annoy me, because I make fun of the guys she likes. But she looked at the cover for the Immortals DVD and made fun of his non-eyebrows, and said he looked like Robert Barone in the first official pic. You know who she loves? The guy who played Angel in X3.

Jude Law

 

[Enriquespy]

Law Would not be bad.

Tom Cruise? Chanelling his grossman-badguyfromcollateral persona?

Crazy enough to work.

[N7 Joseph Shepard]

It's Guy Pearce, or it's nobody.

please let him die in Iron Man 3 please let him die in Iron Man 3

 

[Enriquespy]

Tom Cruise! Or Cumberbatch, if he is not braniac.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Well, Goyer hinted in an interview that they included Luthor. Whether that means they actually cast someone in the role of if they included him in the way that Batman Begins included the Joker and Amazing Spider-Man included Norman Osborn, I guess we'll find out.

It would be pretty amazing if they did land a really big name for Luthor and have managed to keep in under wraps this whole time.

 

[Mad Love]

I think the Tom Cruise pick for Lex is inspired. He has the intensity and he's already as much loved as he is hated. He has that leading man quality but there's something on edge about him.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I wouldn't mind Cruise as Lex. He's not my ideal choice but he has been really amazing when he's stepped out of his acting comfort zone and played against typecast (Magnolia, Rock of Ages, Tropic Thunder, Collateral).

 

[The Watchman]

Despite his inherent craziness/creepiness he is a great actor, but honestly I would be distracted by him in the role, too many other amazing choices out there.

Totally. It's actually a pretty brilliant choice. I could see him bringing that Magnolia megalomaniac persona to Lex. Somebody get this suggestion to Nolan and Co.

 

[Enriquespy]

Just put some blue eyes in him and shave his head!

I might just hit the nail in the head with this one.

 

[Lead Cenobite]

I didn't think eye color mattered with Lex.

 

[Rowsdower!]

It doesn't, really. Although most recent comic book versions feature Lex with bright green eyes, to accentuate the whole Kryptonite thing.
