According to
Cosmic Book News the star of such films as
Wedding Crashers and
The A-Team will make a cameo as Lex Luthor in the
Man of Steel. Now I have no clue if Bradley Cooper will be going up against Henry Cavill in the film, but I do feel very confident that we will indeed see Lex Luthor in some capacity.
Hopefully the role is just a cameo because I am fed up with seeing Lex Luthor portrayed as Superman's only villain in these featured films. Superman actually has a pretty good rogue gallery and for some reason Warner Bros. has done a piss poor job of featuring any of them outside of Zod, Luthor, and some newly created nuclear man (
Superman IV).
Of course this is just a rumor, please take it with a grain of salt. I included a poll below so that you can voice your opinion.
We were told after Paradise Lost bottomed out, that Bradley Cooper will appear as Lex Luthor in a cameo role in the Man of Steel.
Back in April of 2011, we were provided information that the first draft of the script held a prominent role for Luthor, one that even saw Lex forcing the Kryptonians through a Phantom Zone portal using Kryptonite in the final battle. At the end of the movie, Lex considers forcing Superman through as well, but relents.
Man Of Steel, starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Michael Shannon, Antje Traue, Julia Ormond, Russell Crowe, Laurence Fishburne with Christopher Meloni and Harry Lennix, the reboot is slated for theaters June 14th, 2013!
