'Man of Steel 2' Villain Lex Luthor 'Loved by Metropolis' as Batman Faces Off Against Superman? [VIDEO]
A new report has come out about Man of Steel 2, a.k.a. Batman vs. Superman, featuring new details on the villainous Lex Luthor.
Man of Steel 2 director Zack Snyder revealed new information about Lex Luthor at a panel last weekend. The director stated that Superman's (Henry Cavill) nemesis will "love calling him an alien" in the new movie. Lex's motivations in the film will be focused on the idea that Superman is bad for his fellow humans, according to a new report by ComicBookMovie.com.
Lex isn't going to be a villain to the people in Man of Steel 2, according to a source via ComicBookMovie.com. In the film, Lex will be "the pride of Metropolis. The people love him, he's been helping out a lot. Even Lois [Amy Adams] thinks he's a good guy initially. He is a very smart man and has a lot of charisma."
Additionally, Lex secretly experiments with fringe science, which is unknown to the public. In one scene from the film, Lex asks LexCorp scientists if they are capable of recreating Kryptonian armor. He wishes to be the one to put an end to Superman once and for all.
Another big spoiler discovered by the report states that while Wonder Woman and The Flash will be included in the film, they will not be appearing as superheroes in full gear. Instead, the audience will be introduced to their human alter egos, Diana Prince and Barry Allen.
