Superman: Legacy Casting Details Hint At Very 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.
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. While it could potentially be just a cover name - which is common in superhero casting auditions - it may actually be Apex Lex Luthor, a very different iteration of the DC villain. Gunn and DC Studios have yet to comment on the report at the time of this story's publication.
