Leonardo Dicaprio Considered For Lex Luthor In Batman V Superman

Leonardo DiCaprio And Brad Pitt looks happy.

Leonardo DiCaprio was considered for the role of Lex Luthor in the movie 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,' according to director Zack Snyder. Snyder, who previously led the DC Extended Universe, is no longer in charge as James Gunn and Peter Safran now head DC studios and are planning a complete reboot of the comic book franchise, starting with the 2025 film 'Superman' starring David Corenswet.

Snyder's attempt at bringing DC's heroes to the big screen began with 'Man of Steel' in 2013, followed by 'Batman v Superman' in 2015. The latter received criticism, particularly for Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of Lex Luthor. Many found his performance awkward and miscast.
