Superman vs Batman Movie: 5 Actors To Play Lex Luthor

1. Jude Law

Jude Law has already expressed interest in appearing in a comic book movie as he is a big fan of them. This is good, it means he respects the material as a fan and would make sure he does the character justice. He has voiced a villain before in 2012's Rise of the Guardians, so he is no stranger to playing the antagonist. He was ironically long seen as a fan favourite choice to play General Zod in the unrealised Superman Returns sequel. Law is an Academy Award nominated actor so there is a good chance of critical acclaim. He was previously considered to play the role of Aldrich Killian in this year's Iron Man 3, and Warner Bros are aware of who he is thanks to his portrayal of Dr John Watson in the Sherlock Holmes film series. I could not think of an actor who could be more fitting to play Lex Luthor than this guy. He has an attractive quality about him and a very Lex Luthorish presence, stepping up to play one of the most iconic comic book villains in the history would be a great next step for this incredible actor. So those are my five choices for who should play Lex Luthor in the Man of Steel universe. So what do you think? Do you like my choices? Who do you think should be Lex? And do you think Lex should have his Lexsuit in this movie? Or should he just be the brains behind everything whilst Batman is who Superman fights? Leave your thoughts down below.
