Nicolas Cage is Perfect Actor to Play Lex Luthor

Nicolas Cage is Perfect Actor to Play Lex Luthor

We all know that Tim Burton once brilliantly casted Nicolas Cage to play Superman. Unfortunately, this movie never came to fruition. And now that Cage may be a bit to old to play the Man of Steel, the actor should immediately step in to play Lex Luthor in the upcoming Superman reboot. I can't think of anyone better for the part.

Cage brings a intensity and craziness to his characters that would perfectly suit Superman's greatest foil. We have all seen his edgy work in films such as Lord of War, Adaptation, Kick-Ass, and Ghost Rider. He has made poor films watchable. Now it is time for him to save the Superman franchise.

Cage is the world's biggest Superman fan. He owns Action Comics #1 and even named his son Kal-El. It is time that the comic book world showed him some appreciation. Please write to Warner Brothers Studios and let them know that Nicolas Cage needs to be Lex Luthor. He is the only good choice for this role.

Wait, what? I like Cage but he's no Lex Luthor. And you forgot to include Bad Lieutenant and Face Off as his edgy film.

Awesome! Nic Cage rules! I wish he'd read scripts before he signed on to movies but hey nobody's perfect.

It simply doesn't get any better than Con-Air.

And Face-Off needs to mentioned, I think that was Cage at his craziest and best.

BlazeCage, nobody on this website thinks that you have even a shred of common sense, let alone basic intelligence. You use words in sentences that have absolutely no place being there, and you are basically the Armond White of this website. Please, get a life and stop chugging Nic Cage's cum. Have a nice day.

This is nuts. Burton and Cage would've destroyed the idea of Superman for so many people.

@Superbatspiderman-i actually could see him as Dr. Hamilton. hes definetly not right for lex though. that would be a mistake. if anything, we should write the producers to make sure that it DOESNT happen

I'd rather sculpt a butterfly out of caterpillar faeces.
Cage has had he's days, I'd rather have someone like Stephen Dorff or Fassbender...

@kalElAung

He can act any role exactly the same, because he plays every role exactly the same.
For rehearsals he must go:
"Fake Angry face check, Cock head to the left check, then look confused check, followed by stupid grin check Yeah I got this role down pat."

Are you kidding me? Really? Nicolas Cage as Lex Luthor? Honestly, the editors on this site really need to pay more attention to what is posting here. I'm one bad article away from blocking this site from my computer forever.

This has got to be one of the dumbest fu*king articles I've ever read. I mean...Nic Cage?? Serious dude?

NIC CAGE?!?!?!? I just threw up in my mouth a little. That movie whore just does whatever script he trips over to pay for his bad investments and crap spending habits. They should cast Cage to get his scrotum ripped off in the opening scene by Luthor or something interesting like that.

Wow! You have a man crush on Cage. He's terrible. He's no Lex Luthor. His best work was "Raising Arizona." He needs to stay away from CBM's altogether. You should really get out more!

@marvelguy

Cage could act as Jor El.
