The Official Lex Luthor Casting Thread - Part 6

[The Guard]

Wasn't Lex Kryptonian in that?

In the first draft, yes.

In later drafts...sort of. In final draft...not so much.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Okay, I just saw Lawless.

No one, I repeat NO ONE should play Lex Luthor except Guy Pearce. WB, throw a s***load of money at him and get him on board. There's no better choice out there.

None.

 

[Sawyer]

And it took Lawless to convince you of this?!

 

[The Shield]

That dude is Lex Luthor!

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Sounds like he was flawless in Lawless.

 

[Lily Adler]

He has converted another, welcome to the fold...

 

[Rowsdower!]

Haha, no, I've always thought Pearce would be a great choice. But up until now, I was open to another actor landing the role.

NOW NO ONE ON EARTH IS WORTHY OF LEX LUTHOR THAN GUY PEARCE. HE HAS SURPASSED ALL COMERS. IF WB COMMITS THE SIN OF CASTING ANOTHER ACTOR AS LEX LUTHOR THE SKY WILL CRACK OPEN AND HYDROCHLORIC ACID WILL RAIN DOWN FROM THE SKY, WASHING THE WORLD AWAY IN A SEA OF TOXIC SLUDGE. IT IS WRITTEN.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I have to agree. Every time I think of an actor that could 100% embody Lex, my mind jumps to Guy Pearce. I can't help it! EVERYTIME lol

 

[terry78]

Even the god in mortal form known as Fassbender?

 

[Rowsdower!]

Even the god in mortal form known as Fassbender?

I love Fassbender, but no. I'm sure he'd make a fine Lex, but there are plenty of other classic characters I'd much rather see him play, like James Bond and Magneto again.

 

[The Shield]

GUY PEARCE
There is NO Other... Muuhaahahahaaaa!!! That is all.

 

[TheWatcher]

I love Fassbender, but no. I'm sure he'd make a fine Lex, but there are plenty of other classic characters I'd much rather see him play, like James Bond and Magneto again.

Tommy Wiseau

¨You're tearing me APART, SUPERMAN!!!¨

Lex has been accused of attacking Lois

¨That's bull****. I did not hit her. I did NAAAT...oh, hi Brainiac¨

 

[babbage]

Billy Zane as a thuggish-but-superintelligent scientist/rich tycoon/Telly Savalas-as-Blofeld type, along the lines of the Animated Series and Post-Crisis Superman.

 

[Steve Holt]

how about Matthew Goode (Watchmen), i saw the trailer for Stoker and thought he'd be very calculating, cold, and manipulating while being charming. Not to mention he was Ozymandias

 

[charl_huntress]

Okay...let's get this thread kicked off again with Armie Hammer.

Why don't you people like him again?

and here is Goode.

 

[Alexei Belyakov]

Guy Pearce all the way.

 

[charl_huntress]

Guy Pearce all the way.

Why do people keep saying this guy...

 

[Alexei Belyakov]

Why do people keep saying this guy...

Tremendous actor, has the persona and presence, has history with Nolan.

 

[charl_huntress]

Armie Hammer is the Lone Ranger...dammit....lol

 

[Sawyer]

That's a joke, right?

Or are you just in the wrong thread?

 

[charl_huntress]

Sorry, red face...I am in the right thread....

I want Armie Hammer for Lex Luthor...deal with it...lol

 

[Alexei Belyakov]

Who should play Bizarro?

 

[charl_huntress]

LOL...I had an automatic comeback that would probably get me banned....or at least temp banned.

I'll just say it's someone beneath the stars and moon.

 

[Sawyer]

Sorry, red face...I am in the right thread....

I want Armie Hammer for Lex Luthor...deal with it...lol

I just don't see what "Armie Hammer is the Lone Ranger dammit!" has to do with anything regarding this thread.
