BREAKING Bad star Bryan Cranston has reportedly been cast as supervillain Lex Luthor in the Man Of Steel sequel, alongside Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman.
Cranston is said to have signed at least a six-appearance deal with DC Comics, which means he may have more chances to destroy Superman in future Justice League films, according to Cosmic Book News.
An official announcement is expected to be made after the conclusion of the final season of Breaking Bad.
Comic book fans will probably welcome Cranston’s hiring, following his celebrated portrayal of Walter White – a timid science teacher who starts cooking meth to pay his medical bills.
An insider told Cosmic Book News: “Cranston truly is a dream casting for Luthor.”
With Affleck on board, DC is also rumoured to be considering Matt Damon for the roles of Aquaman or Martian Manhunter.
Mark Strong may also join in the role of Green Lantern mentor Sinestro, which he played in the recent Green Lantern film.
