Recently, saw Batman Vs Superman, Dawn of Justice. And without getting into the movie itself and NO SPOILERS, The guy who plays Lex Luthor was so miss cast, it wasn't even funny. But not only was he the wrong actor for the job, he is written wrong. UNLESS, they were going for a quirky, goofy, tame version of the Joker, then they have nailed it. Good job. Sinister, brooding, cold and calculating, he was not.
In the end, there were two people that were fighting for the role and Carrot Top had to drop out due to a plastic surgery appointment, leaving Jessie Eisenburg winner by default. Which doesn't make sense, cause they did a pretty good job casting everyone else, but apparently fell on their face when casting Lex. The only thing I can think of is that someone was being black mailed.
In interviews, the director himself defends his Lex, telling people to wait to see what he brings to the table and fans will be pleased. Well after seeing the movie, "What the hell are you talking about"....Lex is a big corney goofball who comes across has a spoiled abused brat of a billionaires son.
So I guess it wouldn't have matter who they cast for the role, if they still had planned on making him the corney goofball type character. At least if you are going to get someone who has the stature of Lex, just look at some of the potential quick google searches. See, was that hard...But...again. Even if they had any of these guys...you can't play Lex the way you did in this movie. Its like if they introduced Joker, and he was sane.
But if you are going to have a Lex who is goofy, quirky, oddball type character. Than here are some Lex's that fit the THAT specific role a more closer to the T.
