Leonardo DiCaprio As Lex Luther? Zack Snyder Considered Him For ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’
Before going with Jesse Eisenberg, Zack Snyder actually considered Leonardo DiCaprio as a potential Lex Luthor.
While chatting recently with Josh Horowitz on his Happy Sad Confused podcast, Snyder admitted that he discussed the 2016 film with the Oscar-winning star of Killers of the Flower Moon. “I think, in the end, he was like, ‘eh, I don’t know.’ But he was really smart about the material and really smart about the character,” said Snyder, who added that DiCaprio “had a lot of great ideas, actually, just in the meeting … I think he was the one that mentioned to me this idea about Superman fighting the Justice League at some point.” In 2022, Josh Brolin told the same podcast that he almost was cast as Batman in Snyder’s superhero films but lost out to Ben Affleck in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and the Justice League follow-up.
