2. Bradley Cooper
This Academy Award nominated actor was linked to the part of Lex Luthor for Man of Steel, but what about its sequel? I thought long and hard about this choice for Lex and it is one of my top picks for one reason. It's unexpected. What did everybody think when Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker? 'No, Brokeback Joker?! LAME!!!'. And can you honestly say now Heath Ledger didn't completely own the role and wasn't an amazing Joker? That's what I thought, Bradley Cooper is an incredible actor and I believe with the right amount of preparation he could be the perfect Lex Luthor for this movie. Girls love him so that already brings another fanbase in, although they might not enjoy seeing him bald, and he's a good actor who would give his best to the role. He has the charm and the acting abilities to pull off a great Lex Luthor. Would he be a great villain? Why not give him a chance and find out?
