\"markbryan\"<\/a>Since the reveal was made that DC\/WB is moving forward with a Batman\/Superman film many have speculated who would be playing the role of Lex Luthor.<\/p>\n

Now Latino Review<\/a> has added fuel to the fire by dropping the names of Bryan Cranston and Mark Strong into the mix. While they admit that its just a rumor at this point, Digital Spy<\/a> even caught up with actor Mark Strong who replied:<\/p>\n

“All I can say is… watch this space.”<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Personally either actor would be an amazing pick, but I do feel that Cranston may be a little old for the part and we could run into the same vibe that Gene Hackman and Kevin Spacey gave where its Superman vs a smart and craft older fellow. And on the other hand, Picking Mark Strong would possibly eliminate his returning (in any form) as Sinestro for a future Green Lantern reboot, which to be honest he was single-handedly the best part of that film.<\/p>\n

Either way, fans know that this isnt the last we will hear from this rumor and only time will tell.<\/p>\n

Superman\/Batman is scheduled for a US release in Summer 2015.<\/p>\n
