Well known and reliable movie news website DarkHorizons got a major scoop including several names in consideration for the cast of McG’s Superman, but the biggest scoop of them all was the mention of fan favorite Johnny Depp’s name for the role of Lex Luther. Check out a clip of the article below and then click the link to check out the rest of the big news.
Now comes the main event. I can safely say that you can expect Johnny Depp to be the next Lex Luthor. That is, because he is the studio’s favourite and McG wants to work with him. He’s tied because he’s not exactly sure if he wants to accept, and he also has Charlie and the Chocolate Factory filming soon under the direction of Tim Burton. But WB and McG are really trying to nab Depp, since he turned out the most viable in his screentest (I heard it was “f**king amazing”). If he can’t do it or doesn’t want to, then expect the role to go to an up and rising comedian or someone in that theory.
