Variety<\/a> has broken the news that apparently WB\/DC is eyeing actor Joaquin Phoenix for the role of the main villain in the upcoming Batman\/Superman film set for 2015.<\/p>\n

\n

Though sources\u00a0couldn’t\u00a0confirm what the role is, it\u2019s believed to be for the main antagonist, which is likely to be\u00a0Lex Luthor. Names like Jason Momoa and Callan Mulvey have been linked to the film but even if those actors are cast, sources are saying that they\u00a0wouldn’t\u00a0play the main villain, and that Warners has always wanted someone who would be a slam dunk in the role.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While many would agree that Joaquin isn’t who anyone would first think of when the name Lex Luthor \u00a0is dropped, but given his recent track record of films the actor does indeed have the capability to own that role.<\/p>\n

Batman\/Superman is currently slated for a July 17th 2015 release date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
