The Official Lex Luthor Casting Thread - Part 7

[FilmNerdJamie]

Denzel is a big Superman fan.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Not as big as Seinfeld.

Seinfeld 4 Luthor.

 

[MrMaooz]

Not as big as Seinfeld.

Seinfeld 4 Luthor.

Nah, how about Jason Alexander?

Stern wins.

 

[Eddie Dean]

Bryan Cranston?

 

[Eddie Dean]

Stern wins.

Surely Nic Cage wins the celebrity Superman fan contest?

 

[Rowsdower!]

 

[Sawyer]

I think there's a bit of a gender bias going on here. Lex could easily be played by a woman.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Amber Rose

 

[Sawyer]

He can give Supes a speech about the nature of power before cutting his manhood off with a shard of Kryptonite and feeding it to the goats.

 

[Kevin Smith]

As big as Crowe? HOT DAMN. I've listened to Kevin Smith's podcast recently, and even though he DESPISES him and loathes him, he brought up THIS GUY:

Bruce Willis. Too old? Him and Cavill are familiar with each other filming together in a recent action movie. Wonder if that dynamic can work....

Too blue collar. Even though Lex is a self made millionaire who killed his own parents, I don't see him as Lex. Lex was never blue collar even when he was blue collar. Blue collar people stay blue collar.

 

[Kevin Smith]

And hell no to changing Luthor's race or gender. Lol. You people.

 

[Kevin Smith]

Billy Zane would still be sweet....but I know how people feel about Zane around here. lol

 

[Bruce Malone]

I think if they were looking for an older lex kelsey grammar wouldn't be terrible.

 

[Kevin Smith]

I don't like the poll choices..........Lex is more than each one of them.

He's a scientist and businessman....not either or.

STAS by Clancey Brown is by far the best Lex ever portrayed on any screen.

A-****ing-men to all that.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I think if they were looking for an older lex kelsey grammar wouldn't be terrible.

Yes he would. No need for Grammar to ruin yet another comic book character by playing Fraiser in a costume.

 

[Kevin Smith]

I liked Grammar as Beast. I thought that was great casting. Hell no to him as Lex though.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I hated him as Beast and I think I'd jump off a bridge if he was cast as Lex.

 

[Bruce Malone]

Yes he would. No need for Grammar to ruin yet another comic book character by playing Fraiser in a costume.

Do you actually think he would play lex like he played beast? besides the fact the way he played beast was actually pretty good and pretty close to how i'd evisioned beast in live action.

You obviously haven't seen his work on boss? very lex luthor-esque.

The clip has swearing in it but type in "boss you don't matter" into youtube and come back to me.

 

[Kevin Smith]

Luke Evans is hot, I enjoy looking at him very much and I like him but I'm not feeling him for Luthor. Still not as frightening as a choice as others on here. It's impossible for me to say "no I don't want to see Luke Evans in a film!"

I think Luke Evans is a terrible actor and a terrible choice for both Batman and Luthor. Lol. I don't get the love for him (ladies aside).

 

[Poni_Boy]

Not sure if this was a joke, but that's actually brilliant. My new top choice

 

[Kevin Smith]

If Grammar played Luthor I'd just see Kelsey Grammar (Fraser), regardless of how evil he acts, I'll just never buy him as evil. He worked as Beast because he was in a suit and pretty much fit the character's personality from the comics, IMO.

Still my favorite modern superhero movie casting

Sorry this is as silly as thinking an actor's who's played this

Could never become this

Garmmer's not my top pick but the stuff he's done on boss is nothing like his frazier character and as i've said very lex luthor-sh. I recommend you all checking some of it out.
