With the Wonder Woman casting still sinking in, it seems there’s fresh “Man of Steel II” casting news to speculate about. This time rumors are flying around in regards to iconic supervillain, Lex Luthor. Fans have already fantasy cast quite a few people, including the star of the popular Breaking Bad series, Bryan Cranston. Since Cranston stated that there was no truth to the rumors, that left many scratching their heads.
Who else in Hollywood would look good bald? We may finally have an answer in….Joaquin Phoenix?
If he’s indeed cast as Luthor, it will definitely be as controversial. However, the desire for Phoenix is understandable. The Academy Award-nominated actor is eccentric, but he’s played a variety of characters. This includes a memorable turn as the cruel and treacherous Commodus in “Gladiator”, opposite Russell Crowe. Crowe played Jor-El in the first movie, so it’s an interesting link if Phoenix winds up accepting the role.
