The Official Lex Luthor Casting Thread

[I Am The Knight]

Yes, it's a silly word I just made up. I think that he should stick to dramas.

It's obvious he doesn't care about the Superhero aspect of a Supehero movie...atleast thats my opinion. I also think that he has a terrible eye for action.

Again all of this is I SEE SPIDEY'S opinion, not trying to represent it as anyone elses.

Yes, it's a funny one. t:

Nevertheless, I reserve terms like that for the likes of Brett Ratner. But to each their own.

 

[Showtime]

I think he cared about the movie, I just think he didn't care about the hardcore Superman fans and believed that this is what the GP wanted. He missed the boat and so did WB. I think if he had given a more comicbased adapdation he would have ended up pleasing both parties.

How disappointed would I be without Lexcorp?

Not very. Lexcorp Lex is cool, but the other iterations of the character work for me too. Mad scientist, corporate head, or career criminal mastermind the key to Luthor, for me, is an unparalleled genius coupled with an irrepressable ego coupled with unmitigated gall. Those are the common traits that most every version of Lex has had.


If what I've heard about this sequel is actually true, while we're not getting Lexcorp we are getting the next best thing.

What have you heard on the sequel? Come on spill it, lol. t:

 

[El Payaso]

Ok, I voted wrong.

I have no problems with Lex being a mischievous business man. The regular Lex of this franchise got well-worn. Lexcorp should appear.

 

[TruerToTheCore]

Absolutely not because Lexcorp is nothing essential for "Lex Luthor". They should show his genius, motivations and inventions. Never made sense to me that an arrogant prick like Luthor would hold back in the public (which he would be, as owner of LexCorp) so they think he is a nice guy. Lex Luthor sees normal humans as shaved apes.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

^But yet he surrounds himself with idiots???

 

[TruerToTheCore]

The real Lex Luthor, hero of the people of Lexor, worked most of his time alone and created cool things like the GALACTIC GOLEM!

 

[VenomsMom]

Hmmm.....I remember discussing this back in 2006 and 2007.....oh well....I will share my thoughts on the subject one more gan...................No to Lexcorp ever being started by the lowlife con artist scum who doesn't get an ounce of respect. He's a criminal, leave it that way in the Donner verse.

 

[\S/JcDc\S/]

What have you heard on the sequel? Come on spill it, lol. t:

Probably referring to Lex in politics.

 

[AragornKing1]

Probably referring to Lex in politics.

So I guess he's hearing that Lex will get into politics in the sequel instead and become a politician? Hmmmm, interesting if true.

 

[VenomsMom]

And he if he ever sets foot in a sequel to SR.....I hope he dies a slow painful and humiliating death at the hands of this alien villain or Metallo or whoever. Good Riddons

Oh, well I'm not sure how accurate this is. It's sort of friend of a friend kind of stuff from a friend from my old animation/illustration school days that actually made it and has worked on some very cool, very big projects. I trust him, though who knows how accurate his information might be.

I don't know if this is true, if it's from an old rejected pitch or from a newer one. I don't know how to verify this, or if you even could. I took this with a grain of salt and I'd recommend you do too.

We were talking about comics and the Dark Knight and he mentioned that there were some details floating around about the next Superman movie. They are as follows:

1) He told me that there was going to be a big alien alien machine (we both figured this to be Brainiac) that was going to come to Earth after the events of the first movie looking for Kryptonian technology or Kryptonians.

2) That "Brainiac" was going to come after Superman and Jason and that Lois and Jason would be put in danger again. I don't know if anybody dies or, specifically, if Jason or Richard are killed. He didn't mention Richard at all though so maybe he's gone?

3) He also said that Lex was going to be in it too, that he was going to get a get out of jail free card for helping to save the world from Brainiac.

4) There'd also be a sequence in space (RTK?) and a big battle in the city between Superman and a bunch of alien robots.

So yeah, that's what I've heard. Again, how true it is, I've no idea. Has anybody else heard anything along these lines? Anything similar?

HOLY ****!! That sounds freakin awesome!! t: I hope it's true. I wonder if FilmNerdJamie has heard the same thing. Have you heard anything on any other villain being in it, or just Brainiac and Lex?

Brainiac creates these robots I take it.

That's not too bad...But taking it with a grain of salt.

 

[Nixon]

That's everything that I've heard.

I agree that if it's true it does sound like the makings of a good Superman movie.

 

[Nixon]

That's not too bad...But taking it with a grain of salt.

Recommended.

For all I/we know, this might be from that pitch that was rejected or from nothing at all.

 

[AragornKing1]

I mean, with all these insiders hearing a sequel to Superman Returns is happening. I would be shocked IF they turn out to be wrong. But I don't think they are, but that's my opinion.

 

[AragornKing1]

That's everything that I've heard.

This is stuff that you heard recently from your friend, correct? Despite the fact if it's true or not.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Right. Maybe someone In The Know can shed some light on this.

 

[Nixon]

Yeah, and bearing in mind that I'm filling in some blanks here, I think that that's got the makings for a good Superman movie and a good follow-up to Superman Returns. We'll get action, we'll get a chance to furher the Jason storyline, and we'll even get some new doors opened for Lex.

Right. Maybe someone In The Know can shed some light on this.

One way or another, I hope so.

Cool. It seems that every insider is hearing a sequel to Superman Returns and the only two insiders hearing a possible reboot is Steve and Jayne from SaveSuperman.com. Go figure.

Also, I asked Jett who he's heard the villains will be and he said Brainiac and Lex, so we'll see.

a disaster if this happens. i want to some dialoge between the fight. the main villain needs to fight superman. not some sidekicks.
i hope this doesnt happen.

i also dont like the part about lex and jail.
