Seems as though Eisenberg is not going to be bald in the film, at least not at first. The evil genius will have surfer-style long, straight dirty blond hair. Batman-News says:
"It's not Eisenberg's typical curly look - it's a bit longer, kind of loose and wavy, and it's dirty blonde. Eisenberg's Luthor has spastic mannerisms, like a twenty-something guy that pounds energy drinks all day."
Meantime a source for ComicBook.Com offers new details on Luthor's personality:
"You are going to hate this guy. You are going to root for him to be punched by Supes when he weasels his way out of legal trouble. He is cocky and confident because he is THAT good at what he does. He's a billionaire who knows he is more powerful than the Senator and Congressman visiting because he's a billionaire. This is a high tech mega billion company with a shiny veneer. It's Apple/Google, colorful and consumer friendly public image but serious potential for Lex's deviousness."
The LexCorp offices will feature a full basketball court in the lobby and a huge 30-foot neon sign displaying the company logo. An IMDB user claims to have witnessed filming of Lex's first scene:
"Lex has a super modern-hip Facebook/Google style office with a basketball court, pinball tables, etc. Everyone looks ultra douchey and has bowties and blazers, etc. Lex is introduced in which he takes a basketball shot, and in the same motion, after draining the shot, turns around and shakes a senator's hand, who is there to greet him. He looks like Kurt Cobain, and is a complete douche."
There were reports that suggested that the chatter about former "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston was playing Lex in the upcoming movie were true were denied by the actor. In fact he and fellow early frontrunner Mark Strong were never offered the role. Tom Hanks was internally discussed but an offer was never made.
Instead, they stuck with a next generation' mandate. We were told that Joaquin Phoenix came up as a contender for Lex. The trade says that he passed.
Finally ComicBook.Com says that the roles that actresses Holly Hunter and Tao Okamoto ("The Wolverine") are playing in the film have been revealed. Hunter will reportedly play a U.S. senator who pays a visit to LexCorp with a congressman. Okamoto will play a key role - Lex Luthor's assistant Mercy. Neither role has been confirmed by the studio yet.
DOJ will see the return of Henry Cavill as Superman/Clark Kent, Ben Affleck will play Bruce Wayne/Batman amid lots of fallout--while Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane are set to reprise their roles as Lois Lane, Perry White and Martha Kent. "Fast Five" star Gal Gadot's playing Wonder Woman.
How big Gadot's role as WW is, is unknown at this point. Godot beat out Olga Kurylenko and Elodie Yung for the role. Thor: The Dark World" actress is Jaimie Alexander was also linked.
Some time ago there was noise that the production was seeking is a love interest for the Dark Knight in the film. The Type? A woman in their late 20s of any ethnicity. Adding that she be tall and "possess physicality".
The notice DID NOT give a name for the character, which led to speculation that it was anyone from Vicki Vale to Wonder Woman. A leaked casting call had fanboys thinking that the Amazon warrior was in the pic.
A love interest for Bats suggests that he will have a larger part in the film than expected.
Jason Momoa has been linked to Warner Bros' upcoming DC Entertainment plans for a long time as Doomsday Metallo or alien hero Martian Manhunter who also happens to like Oreo Cookies. The imposing actor has been asked about the talk several times but has always denied that he's up for a role. Rumors swirled the other day that reportedly confirmed that Momoa has been cast as underwater hero Arthur Curry aka Aquaman.
Ray Fisher is playing the role of Cyborg in the film. Jeremy Irons has been cast as Wayne's butler Alfred Pennyworth,
Australian actor Callan Mulvey ("Zero Dark Thirty) also stars and has been rumored for the role of an (unnamed) villain in the film for quite some time now....
Spanish site El Multicine which claims that "Looper"and "Edge Of Tomorrow" actress Emily Blunt is close to inking a deal for an unspecified role.
Batman on Film also suggests that the character of Commissioner Jim Gordon is in the film, however there's no word on potential casting or confirmation at this time. The character is front and center in Fox Broadcasting's fantastic looking new Fall TV Series prequel Gotham starring Ben McKenzie, Donal Logue, and Jada Pinkett Smith
More rumors ran recently that Girls co-star Adam Driver was the frontrunner to play the character of Dick Grayson, the post-Robin Nightwing incarnation in the film. The original story mentioned that two other actors are in the mix for the role. Less than 24 hours later "Gossip Girl" and "Easy A" star Penn Badgley and "The Perks of Being A Wallflower" and "We Need To Talk About Kevin" star Ezra Miller were said to be in mix for the part. Driver denied any such talk...With good reason since he was really up for Lex. He turned it down due to scheduling conflicts. Denzel Washington was also among a list potentials for Lex generated by Thinkmcflythink as were Idris Elba and Colin Salmon.
Singer Justin Bieber uploaded a photo on his Instagram account showing him holding up what appeared to be a personalized script for the film with the hashtag "#Robin" but it turned out to be a prop for a Funny or Die skit.
The speedster The Flash is said to be in the script.
Meantime: The star of The CW's popular Arrow TV series Stephen Amell posted a "Justice League" comic image on his official Facebook page. We already know that Flash (Grant Gustin) showed up there for a few eps before getting his own show this Fall (Watch an extended trailer). Could more of DC Entertainment's "Justice League" be coming to "Arrow"? For now the DC Cinematic Universe will NOT co-exist with the TV heroics...There are rumors about where the films might go as well as the TV side of things...
"Man Of Steel" writer David S. Goyer was back on the keyboard but now--THR reports that Chris Terrio, who won an Oscar for writing Affleck's “Argo,” has been hired to write the latest draft of the MOS 2 script.
Goyer is in the midst of developing several projects including an adaptation of author Neil Gaiman's popular comic book series Sandman, which he’ll produce with Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Christopher Nolan and Charles Roven return to executive produce the multi-hero film.
Sources say the new movie is going for the tone of the relationship and fight seen in Frank Miller’s 1980s ground-breaking mini-series The Dark Knight Returns.
The release has been delayed a full 10 months for a number of reasons. As a result, the original release date of July 17th 2015 is no longer doable. Now, the studio is targeting a May 6th 2016 release. They quickly inserted the fantasy Pan into that original slot. MOS 2 will go head to head with "Captain America 3"--or not...
Production is officially underway on the film.
Once DOJ is completed Snyder will helm the long planned Justice League movie.
