Whoa, this was unexpected! According to Deadline, Warner Bros. are in talks for Lex Luthor to make the jump from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to the Suicide Squad as Lex Luthor. It sounds like the villainous team just found its leader! Hit the jump for details...





Though the roster of the Suicide Squad was seemingly revealed recently, that report was based on an old version of the script which director David Ayer (Fury) is currently in the process of rewriting before production on the 2016 movie begin next Spring. With Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Tom Hardy all close to signing on to the DC Comics adaptation, a new report over at Deadline reveals that Warner Bros. are in talks with Batman v Superman star Jesse Eisenberg to join the cast!

It sounds as if the studio will have to woo him to reprise the role of Lex Luthor in this movie as he's also been lined up to star in Todd Phillips' Arms And The Dudes, meaning he'll have to choose between that and Suicide Squad as he will unlikely be able to do both. The movie which focuses on a group of supervillains who are brought together to tackle high-risk black ops missions for the government is moving along nicely and the addition of Eisenberg as Luthor would be amazing to see play out. It may also spoil the fact that Lex is imprisoned by the end of Batman v Superman!




From "Man of Steel" Director Zack Snyder, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice stars Henry Cavill, reprising his role as Superman/Clark Kent, Ben Affleck as Batman/Bruce Wayne, and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince. The film also stars Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Jeremy Irons as Alfred, and reunites “Man of Steel” stars Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane.

The new film is currently being written by Chris Terrio, from a screenplay by David S. Goyer. Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder are producing, with Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan, Wesley Coller, David S. Goyer and Geoff Johns serving as executive producers.

The film is set to open worldwide on March 25, 2016, and is based on Superman characters created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster, Batman characters created by Bob Kane, and Wonder Woman created by William Moulton Marston, appearing in comic books published by DC Entertainment. Distributed by Warner Bros Pictures.

Reprising a role when you have no idea how it will turn out? That's a step backwards, Snyder. For shame.
