As Superman: Legacy is currently casting its leading characters, new details are hinting at a different Lex Luthor in James Gunn's DC Universe.
With Lex Luthor reportedly being cast for Superman: Legacy, new details have emerged about the version that will supposedly appear in James Gunn's DC Universe. As the DCEU is reaching its end, the DC Universe is already working on its first film for the brand-new interconnected franchise, which will be Superman: Legacy. Set to be directed by Gunn, the Superman reboot is currently casting several characters for the film, which is eying a production start in January 2024.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT DC Studios is reportedly looking to fill the role of Lex Luthor alongside casting Clark Kent and Lois Lane as several actors have emerged as potential candidates. However, it appears that Gunn's take on Lex may be significantly different from past live-action incarnations. In a new report from Deadline, the Lex role is currently being labeled as "Apex" for auditions.
If this is truly the version of Lex they are going with, Gunn is cleverly setting up a way for Superman: Legacy and other DC Universe films to tackle the multiverse down the line. The multiverse, which has been a big storytelling device for DC's live-action TV shows over the last few years, could allow Gunn's DC Universe to visit other franchises that take place outside his main continuity.
