With several actors rumored for the role of Lex Luthor in Superman: Legacy, new DC Universe fan art proves all three of them would be perfect for him.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Nicholas Hoult, Alexander, and Bill Skarsgård, who are reportedly rumored to be in the mix for Superman: Legacy as Lex Luthor, get imagined as the DC foe in new fan art. David Corenswet is set to play the next version of the Man of Steel in James Gunn's Superman: Legacy, which will start shooting in 2024.
According to rumors, Lex is supposedly going to be part of Superman: Legacy, although it is unclear if he would be the main antagonist or play a secondary role. Per casting details, Superman: Legacy's Lex may be based on a very different version of him from the DC lore, which would change things up from past iterations.
While fans are debating who would be the best choice for Lex, horrific.heroics shared fan art of what all three of the actors would look like as the iconic Superman villain. For Hoult's design, the artist made a version of Lex, who is getting featured on the cover of TIME magazine, in a scenario where he is running for the presidency. As seen above, the Skarsgård brothers and Hoult all make a good case for either of them getting tapped to play Lex in Superman: Legacy.
Between Hoult and Bill Skarsgård, the latter would be the ideal Lex for Superman: Legacy. Skarsgård is no stranger to portraying iconic villains, after having starred as Pennywise in the It movies, and most of his body of work speaks for itself that he would be incredible as Lex, especially his recent role as Marquis de Gramont in John Wick 4.
While it would be a big twist, there is still potential for someone who isn't even rumored for Lex gets the gig in Superman: Legacy instead of Skarsgårds and Hoult. Given the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strikes, there will not be any casting announcements for the Superman reboot for quite some time, meaning the world will have to wait patiently to find out if Lex is even in this film.
