MOS 2: Mark Strong Eyed For Lex Luthor Says Rumor

Mark Strong is seemingly the top choice to play the role of Lex Luthor in the fast tracked
Man of Steel 2.

The rumor comes courtesy of a DC Entertainment scooper for CBN who says both director Zack Snyder and Warner Bros specifically want Strong for the part.

David Goyer is already reportedly writing the script for the sequel. 

Stars Henry Cavill and Amy Adams are expected to return as Superman/Clark Kent and Lois Lane.

Pre-production is rumored to get underway by the end of the year ahead of production starting early 2014. This would likely mean a Summer 2015 release for MOS 2.

Strong is a good fit in the role given the darker direction in the rebooted universe set up in the first "Man Of Steel".
