The Official Lex Luthor Casting Thread - Part 7

[Rowsdower!]

George Clooney

That's who that "genius" on Forbes suggested, believe it or not.

Don't get me wrong; I like Clooney a lot as an actor. I don't hold B&R against him. But he'd be wrong for Lex.

 

[Lily Adler]

No to Kingsley. I want a villain not an actor.

I was just kidding.

They say his Lear was the toast of Croydon, wherever that is.

 

[smallville fan]

Superman, do you want an empty life or a meaningful death? Mr. Kent, ready for a lesson?

How about some drinks or some coke instead?

[StarLord]

I'm bringing Krypton back, YEAH!

That suggestion was beyond the limits of good taste.

 

[InJustice]

Krypton in a box

 

[John Locke]

Drop the "The", just Superman.

Seriously though, he would be nail the public Lex but not the evil Lex and the evil Lex is the one that counts.

I don't think the suggestion of Clooney is too bad. Lex can be a smooth bastard, and Clooney is great at being unlikeable, too.

How about Damian Lewis, the guy from Band of Brothers and Homeland?

George Costanza

 

[Excel]

I was suggesting Denzel myself elsewhere.

He is perfect for just about anything, but his Lex would be a total badass.

And buzz for the film would explode.

Pay him whatever it takes.

 

[regwec]

Agree with all but your last point.

 

[Notrip]

Denzel would be outside the box, would give MOS2 MASSIVE buzz imo. If he would be on board, could be interesting and a great pick actually. WB make it happen! We know Denzel can go bald!! He could give us a badass Lex Luthor.

 

[BH/HHH]

Don't just don't, I would literally explode into a billion fun size mars bars if this happened. I'd be so damn excited, I just wonder if he'd do it.

As awesome as that would be, Luthor won't be Black*.

On top of that, Denzel is nearly 30 years Cavill's senior.
