Dominic Pace Talks To The Geek Files About Wanting To Become Lex Luthor in The Rebooted Superman Movie!

Hmm... interesting choice. I'd have to see his acting before I say yay or nay, but he certainly does bear a damn good striking resemblance.

cool find @LEEE777 although i want a bigger bad guy too... also i'd like a seriously evil lex... i also like lex knowing and being a friend of kent's... gives the character history... what do u think?

He looks the part, but I haven't seen him in anything.

he has a TV look about him. idk, maybe.

Good find @leee!

I also think we need to see a name as Lex. In fact, I think an important part of creating the dichotomy between Lex and Supes is having an unknown actor as Supes and a major actor as Lex. Daniel-Day Lewis is by far the best, if perhaps least likely choice. Someone on here suggested Tom Cruise earlier today (there were like three fan casts for this movie today), and I think he'd be a good choice too, because he's a huge star who can project the intensity needed for Lex.

That guy's too big.He's almost 6'4.And he generally plays guards and thugs.You don't need a hulking Lex Luthor.

Too big? Nonsense. Lex is only an inch or two shorter than Supes, and he's a man in peak physical condition. I can totally see this guy playing President Luthor. If that doesn't work out for him, he should just bulk up a little more and wait for Marvel to make another movie featuring Wilson 'The Kingpin' Fisk.

i disagree with viggo

i would love to see kevin spacey as lex again but reboot rules say new luthor and i pick

Nice avatar Leee@!

HO HO HO...SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lex shouldn`y have a main role in this movie.... it should set it up his character for the sequals with him as the main villian... but if he is in this... I`d have to say Viggo would be my pick.

Paul Bettany, Patrick Wilson or Billy Zane as Luthor
Michael Fassbender or Paul Bettany as Brainiac
Cam Gigandet as John Corben / Metallo
Pruitt Taylor Vince as Rudy Jones / Parasite

MRDC @ Nice one!

DDD @ Oh yeah, BETTANY's cool, see him as LEX or ADAM STRANGE, saying that tho, doubt we're see ADAM STRANGE lol?

Ho ho ho heh heh heh.

otherside @ Twilight @ Cool! ; )

RAM @ I actually like THE PHANTOM 96 lol, its ZANEs other stuff that sucks! 'Cept TALES FROM THE CYPT, loved him in that lol.

.

Could see him play LEX tho he'd over at the part.

ZELL9 @ So you want JUSIN HAMMER um, good thing TEX lol, no dude if anything he'd own as a character like RAY PALMER ( THE ATOM).

maj @ Armor would be good at some point, yup!

I still say VIGGO, look at his record on movies and diverse roles, THE ROAD, HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, LOTRS, etc etc, he'd own as LEX!

Tho if its just a small cameo maybe DOMINIC PACE, but then again we need to see him act.

NinjaTurtleFan - Billy Zane has the acting skill of retarded chimp!

LEEE - Viggo for Luthor!

I still like Zane for Luthor. However, DDL would be great.
I also think Ralph Fiennes would be a good Lex.

Quick, someone start a facebook page for DDL for Luthor.

As far as we can all assume for now, Luthor might only be a bit part anyway. Despite that, DDL would be great and would definetely bolster the acting cred for the movie - especially if an unknown is indeed chosen for the role of Supes. We have no idea exactly how good that Superman actor would be. So an actor as good as DDL and even Paul Bettany would so be the yang to Supermans ying.

Now, I am really liking Armie Hammer for Superman. Yeah, I know he is a blonde, but I think he would look good with jet black hair. And although I have not seen The Social Network, I have heard really good things about the intensity that Hammer brought to the role he played in that movie.

DDD and Leee@ - can you see Armie as Superman/Clark Kent?

BTW - Superman is tall, broad-shouldered and squared-jawed and any actor really needs to match these criteria. So, unfortunately, as much as I like Matt Bomer, I REALLY don't think he would be believable as The Man of Steel.

6of13 @ I can see Fiennes too in the past, he'd own!

Zane not so much lol, DDL would be epic, like RED SKULL tho I doubt he'd even think about it, let alone actually do it! : (

Haha, funny how EVERYONE ripped into me (well most) about Hammer as a young WWII Captain America, 6 @ True Hammer is a quality actor, he could make quite a nice young SUPES!

xandera @ Heck yeah!!!



: P

and as for HAMM =



(Obviously not in green Martian form lol, only John Jones)

Though it is true... HAM could play half the DC UNIVERSE from J'onn J'onzz, to Oliver Queen, to the guy in Metal Men and Marvels REED RICHARDS, or Human HANK McCOY plus many more, HAMM's a quality actor, anyone that disagrees should watch 'Mad Men!'

I had an idea for The Flash / Wally West role:
Zachery Levi for Wally West.
In the beginning of the Chuck series, he started out as geeky and clumsy but now he seems like a NATURAL at all the action and fighting scenes Chuck is involved in.
All he has got to do is swap the geekiness for cocky, implusive and sarcastic and you have got Wally West.
Who is with me?

6OF13 @ Ryan Kwanten! ; P

Jazzman: I like how you have chosen Arnold Vosloo for Lex Luther. He is South African and I think he could a good LL. BTW, if ya don't know, the "V" in "Vosloo" is pronounced like an "F".
