Who will play Lex Luthor?

Lex Luthor!

This supervillain knows no limits when it comes to villainy. Superman's arch nemesis, has evolved and changed, has been modified, been killed and even revived. Earlier introduced as a villain, then as an Industrialist, and at one stage he even became the President of the USA.

Why am I teliing all this? Because the auditions for Lex are going on! You read it right. There are a lot of speculations about the villain being featured in the 'Man of Steel' sequel, yet unnamed, and who will play this character.

Joaquin Phoenix is in the loop with the studios, and chances are that they might hire him. He has a certain evil-yet-genius appeal to him, which is a reflection of Lex.

Also, DC might go with Michael Rosenbaum, who played the role of Lex in the Superman TV series 'Smallville' and Clark Kent/Superman was played by Tom Welling. Although Tom denied getting into Supes costume, Rosenbaum is ready to taken on the character yet again if approached.

Breaking Bad star Brian Cranston was a favourite amongst the crowd after 'Br Ba' ended. But he denied the rumors. Although he may play a great Luthor!

Then there are Billy Zane, and the Superman Begins Luthor Kevin Costner, but I dunno if Costner may get on board with another Superman movie.

Also, ther is no character that the Rock cannot play. This guy s a one man army. Luthor suits him as well.

There is also the 'One who must not be named' aka Voldemort - Ralph Fiennes, who can take on the character.

Mark Strong has played great roles, and provided raw strength to his characters in movies such as Kickass, Sherlock Holmes, etc. playing the villain. So yeah, he is in the list as well.

Tom Strong

Last but not the least is Stanley Tucci. He has played great roles in the past, and he may be a fresh breath of air to this rebooting DC universe.

Hope DC finalises the actors asap, as fanboys are running wild out there with random speculations.
