The Official Lex Luthor Casting Thread - Part 7

[Bruce Malone]

This is why fan casting doesn't work. It always come down between billy zane and a volleyball.

 

[regwec]

I vote volleyball. More range.

 

[TheFlamingCoco]

I agree about Wilson

 

[MrMaooz]

I agree about Wilson

It makes sense right? Him and Cavill have crooked noses.

 

[MrMaooz]

Wilson from Cast Away

 

[Warhammer]

Duh, Billy Zane.



Seriously, though.

 

[Warhammer]

Owen Wilson

Luke Wilson

Carnie Wilson

Woodrow Wilson.

Wilson from Cast Away

 

[Joeyjojo72]

I vote volleyball. More range.

More likely than Rosenbaum.

 

[MrMaooz]

Steve Harvey

 

[The Caped Knight]

Mat Damon as Lexy lol

 

[Sawyer]

More likely than Rosenbaum.

Bad opinions are fun, huh?

Wilson from Cast Away

The obvious Wilson, and Snyder alum...

or is he too happy-go-lucky? he might be able to pull off a terrifying Lex and show the audience a side we haven't seen him play before.

 

[tdeverea]

If we are going to "think outside of the box", what would you guys think of Taye Diggs? I think that he is a solid actor with great looks. I really think he could pull it off.

I don't want a collection of well-meaning White people to die from simultaneous brain aneurysms.

I don't want a collection of well-meaning White people to die from simultaneous brain aneurysms.

If a collection of white people will have a brain aneurysm over a black actor being cast in a typically white role, they probably aren't well meaning.

That said, no Taye.

And what about Patrick Wilson? Do you have an opinion on that?

 

[sf2]

how about James Franco for Lex?

Exactly.

I mean the left side of their body must have gone numb when they heard about lawrence fishburne?

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Honestly, if he were 10-15yrs younger you know Denzel would be great as Luthor. I mean he's great in anything but I sense a serious take on Luthor would've been right in his wheelhouse.

 

[Bruce Malone]

I don't know if i'm alone but when i was a younger kid i actually used to think lex in the animated series might have been black?

His actual background was definitely somewhat vague.

I could see a bit of a young denzel there

 

[Lencho01]

A lot of people thought he was Black. I was surprised the first time I learned of that years ago.
