Imagine if Stanley Tucci played Lex Luthor.
I can't think of anyone better for the role.
>>64335276
You know...I think you're probably trying to stir shit up, but he's actually a decent actor and I think he can pull it off with that look.
>>64335276
Mark Strong would be better.
>>64335319
He's way fucking better than Jesse Eisenberg. Did you see the new BVS trailer? he was annoying as shit
>>64335328
I would rather he play Sinestro again. He was perfect in the role even though the movie was fucking garbage.
>>64335276
Tucci doesn't have the screen presence nor the intimidating and body for Lex.
>>64335328
This is the only choice.
>>64335366
I would say he has the screen presence. Have you seen The Terminal? He makes a good bad guy. Plus he comes across as really intelligent.
Physicality? Maybe not but that isn't crucial. I think it would be better if he was really unintimidating compared to Superman.
Terry o'quinn
>>64335366
>Tucci doesn't have the screen presence
bait
>>64335348
I agree he is way better than Eisenberg and I think he can play an evil genius a lot better as well. It just never occurred to me until this OP. I think he'd even be better than Kevin Spacey was supposed to be.

I sorta wonder how the cast of Superman Returns would have done with a better script and direction. Because I actually like Brandon Routh. The plot was just really fucking lame.
Just get Oscar Isaac. Just put Oscar Isaac in everything.
>>64335427
He has it for a certain type of character, not Lex though.Plus he's a fucking manlet.
>>64335467
Yeah I like the idea of him having a son, but everything was just so fucking stupid. Like the Kryptonite island thing was so fucking dumb. And he overcame Kryptonite completely in that movie as well. If more sequels were made, he wouldn't have had any opposition.
>>64335493
Wouldn't that add to it in a way though? Lex's superpower is his mind and it's the only way he can go toe to toe with Superman. I think if he was a short, normal looking guy it could be more meaningful in a way.
>>64335512
You know what's sad? The first twenty minutes kicked ass. Like with the plane and shit. Everything after that was lame and the evil plot was based around selling real estate.
marvel already casted a far better Lex Luthor
is DC even trying
>>64335559
are you kidding? I liked Ant Man and all but the villain was fucking generic and lame.
>>64335276
>>64335328
I thought they were the same person desu
>>64335328
Based Mark Strong.
>>64335570
No, not necessarily how he acted in that film, but if you watch House of Cards Stoll is Superb and really could do a dead serious Lex really well.
>>64335570
Lex is generic and lame, capeshit in general is generic and lame
It's just goofy and awful like Jesse Eisenbergs Lex
>>64335538
Well if you like the complete opposite look for Lex, that mean you like Eisenburg?
>>64335570
Because he was Lex but dumber.
Ralph Fiennes.
>>64335627
Except Eisenberg isn't scary from what I can tell, he's just really annoying. My point is that it would be cool if Lex was physically unimpressive but still scared you. Jesse is neither scary physically nor mentally. He's just this annoying little aspie jew that talks to Superman.
>>64335427
it would be more accurate to say he doesn't usually play characters who are meant to have that kind of presence
the thing of it is that stanley tucci is a fantastic actor, and so if given the role of a Lex Luthor or similar character would deliver a legitimately threatening performance
>>64335427
no he's right
tucci has too kind eyes which kind of works for him if he plays a pedo
>>64335684
too kind? of all the emotions ive felt watching Tucci, warmth and kindness is not one of them
>>64335328
He was a good villain as Godfrey in Robin Hood or Mussawi in Syriana.
>>64335743
Guys stop focusing on Mark Strong
He was already a perfect Sinestro. The Green Lantern movie was horrendous but the casting of him was flawless and if they use the character again they should bring him back.
>>64335659
You know, that's not a bad idea...
>>64335570
A whole lot better than Eisenbergs Lex.
DC blows at casting
>>64335922
Well what they were going for is a modern billionaire look when casting Eisenberg. I don't really agree with it but it makes a little sense as to why they cast him
>>64335922
wouldn't go that far
theyre hit or miss
for example margot robbie is perfect for harley quinn. Can you imagine if her and Heath Ledger had shared screen time together? Fuck
>>64335684
He was a good bad guy in The Terminal.
>>64335959
so they're basically saying Zuckerberg is the modern day Lex Luthor? Because I cant think of any other young aspie jew billionaires.
mmm boys i do morphine
You guys do know Lex Luther isn't suppose to be 40 or 50 years or and is suppose to be around Superman's age, which is late 20s early 30s?
Why can't Lex be a female? I CAST MAMMARIO AS LEX!

Stanley Tucci came to our house for my birthday party once. He's my Uncle's good friend, so he was tagging along because they both had to go do some sort of work. My mother asked him to put his coat on the bed in the guest room and he says, "Oh, you don't have a coat rack?" and gives a tsk tsk. He was on his phone the entire time except for dinner. Where the conversation went from my life and birthday, becoming a year older, to Stanley Tucci and his "new play at some obscure and 'hole-in-the-wall' theatre in Pasedena." Everyone just listened, but uncomfortably. I was pretty upset, but presents were about to be opened, so I tolerated Tucci Hour. When I was opening presents, Stan just sat with his legs crossed, and his hands on his knees, perched up watching me open presents. He kept chuckling every time I opened a present, as if I were a cute child (I was was 20 at the time.) I got tired of it and asked if there was a problem. He said, "No, no. *chuckles* keep going." So, yeah, that's my story. It's not much, but he was an asshole the whole time. Once the party was over, everyone said happy birthday again to me and left. Stan mockingly shook my hand wishing me a happy birthday. He wasn't serious at all about it and I am pretty sure making fun of my family members.

>All these people picking actors because they're bald
You know they can shave peoples heads right?
>>64337240
Should have stabbed him.
>>64337240
Cry about it?
>>64337260
Is that DDL?
Literally Lex.
>>64337319
Yeah. Basically a slightly toned town version of what he did in There Will be Blood would be the perfect Lex.
t. someone who picks up a comic book now and again.
>>64335328
Strong choice
>>64337356
I dont see DDL ever doing a superhero movie. He hardly acts as it is. We almost had Joaquin Phoenix as Doctor Strange but he's selective too.
>>64335276
Eh, Bane Luthor was best.
>>64337412
No he would never take the roll. But he'd be perfect for it.
I'd prefer Flower Tucci desu
>>64337260
Did you know Daniel Day Lewis is British?
>>64335959
Eisenberg would make a better Otis
>>64337260
Does anyone even know what DDL has been doing since Lincoln? I heard he got REALLY into making shoes.
>>64337536
He's been knighted
But the dude doesn't really act unless it's someone big like Spielberg or PTA
Best Lex I can think of.
He pulls off a suit well. Plus he's physically imposing enough.
>>64337445
>take the roll
What did he mean by that?
>>64337598
Theres no way you dont send a script to DDL's agent if you are literally any director ever.
>>64337669
Yeah but he mostly seems interested in working with the greats
Since 2000 he has worked with Scorsese, PTA, and Spielberg,
>>64337669
Scrstch that. I doubt DDL even has an agent. If you want him in your movie you gotta meet him in person. Like, he's that good.
>>64337502
yup
>>64337705
to summon DDL you must achieve god tier filmmaker status
he will naturally appear when needed
>>64337653
Fuck homophones.
BOYS
