Interesting choice that I read...

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

"When The Crock hits rock bottom, he has no choice, but to lay the smackdown on himself!" Sorry, I had to.

Aaron Hernandez

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

Hmm, interesting indeed.

Edit: The more I think about it, the more I really like it. Actually one of my favorite suggestions I've heard yet.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Aaron Hernandez

Chris Benoit.

 

[Valkyrje]

Jude Law, Jonny Lee Miller, Mads Mikkelsen, Billy Zane

Glad I'm not alone on that.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

Did you know that he was almost Willy Wonka?

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I thought he was almost Batman? Oh wait that was me.

 

[FlawlessVictory]

Never understood the mentions of Billy Zane for this role. Is it because he was bald at one point for another role? The guy is practically B-list now. WB will go for a "name" for this role.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Just because they have a certain hairstyle(or lack thereof) most people automatically think he/she is perfect for *insert famous character here*. WB will definitely go for either a name and/or someone who hasn't fallen off the radar.

 

[Lencho01]

The Johnny Depp one? Never saw that film. Was someone other than Burton going to make it?

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Christopher Nolan.

 

[MrMaooz]

The Johnny Depp one? Never saw that film. Was someone other than Burton going to make it?

Yes, the Depp one. I thought it was great.

 

[MrMaooz]

Christopher Nolan.

Nah, how about Quentin Tarantino?

 

[Lencho01]

Christopher Nolan.

Yes, the Depp one. I thought it was great.

So, was he Burton's first choice or something?

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Still, I want Dean Ambrose for Lex Luthor.

 

[MrMaooz]

So, was he Burton's first choice or something?

Nope. Dwayne was the second choice.

 

[Lencho01]

Nope. Dwayne was the second choice.

Just going off my memories of the trailers, I can't see Johnson in the role. Would've been interesting to see, though.

I think he would've done great.

Let's stop and think a minute here. What big name actor fits Snyder's 'awesome' criteria?

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Bill Hader.

 

[Tra-El]

Throwing a random name out there that popped in my head. Not sure how to take it, but he could scream Lex for a big name thinking out of the box:

Woody Harrelson

 

[Project862006]

william fichtner
