Before asking Jesse Eisenberg to rock a bald head, Zack Snyder considered Leonardo DiCaprio for the role of Lex Luthor.
While chatting recently with Josh Horowitz on his Happy Sad Confused podcast, Snyder admitted that he discussed the 2016 film Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice with the Oscar-winning star of Killers of the Flower Moon.
“I think, in the end, he was like, ‘eh, I don’t know.’ But he was really smart about the material and really smart about the character,” said Snyder, who added that DiCaprio “had a lot of great ideas, actually, just in the meeting … I think he was the one that mentioned to me this idea about Superman fighting the Justice League at some point.”
Snyder went on to say he also talked to Adam Driver about the role of the cunning billionaire.
In 2022, Josh Brolin told the same podcast that he almost was cast as Batman in Snyder’s superhero films but lost out to Ben Affleck in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and the Justice League follow-up. Brolin said the idea “was interesting” to him, but as for Snyder’s eventual choice, “That was his decision, that wasn’t my decision.”
“Honestly, that would have been a fun deal,” Brolin added. “And maybe I’ll do it when I’m 80.”

Freddie Mercury, Elvis and Ray Charles are few of the cultural superstars who were once the focus of biopic films, and they certainly will not be the last. Oscar-winning film director Martin Scorsese is once again drumming up chatter surrounding himself and Academy Award winner and film frontman Leonardo DiCaprio.The "Shutter Island" actor is rumored to play Frank Sinatra, one of the most highly regarded American singers of all time, in an upcoming biopic by Scorsese.

Filmmaker Zack Snyder’s profoundly unfortunate “Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire,” a turgid, ostentatiously vacant space opera, was, to put it politely, a dire film and hollow regurgitation of familiar sci-fi tropes. But it at least had a story with three bare acts, however tedious.
Zack Snyder opened up about some dreaming casting decisions that he’d like to make with his Rebel Moon franchise.
Slow-motion scenes that sputter story pacing? Check.Poorly developed characters? Check.Plot holes bigger than the Milky Way? Check.
prepare to embody Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and to keep her project alive, Oscar winners and look poised to play two other silver screen icons in their very own sweeping biopic: crooner and his second wife, Hollywood bombshell Ava Gardner, in a new drama from Martin Scorsese, no less.Lawrence and DiCaprio—who previously costarred in a very different awards contender, playing cranky astronomers in Adam McKay’s 2021 satire Don’t Look Up—are attached to the new film, per , though its future is still uncertain. (Sinatra’s daughter Tina, who controls her father’s estate, has reportedly yet to give her blessing to the forthcoming release.)It should, however, get greenlit, as there’s no shortage of material that’s ripe for retelling: Gardner, known for being impossibly glamorous, free-spirited, brash, and outspoken, had previously been married to Mickey Rooney and then Artie Shaw, before tying the knot with her third husband.
Writer/director Zack Snyder always has ambitious plans for his movies, and when it comes to his brand new science-fiction space opera series “Rebel Moon,” the filmmaker’s thinking isn’t veering far off from the audacious. Just one day before the second installment’s release, “Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver,” Snyder has said that he has plans for up to six ‘Rebel Moon’ movies.
Zack Snyder, the director of 2016′s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice starring Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman, just dropped a fun fact about casting for the film’s villain, Lex Luthor.
With “Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver” hitting Netflix tomorrow, Zack Snyder is making the press rounds to promote his latest film. But the most intriguing stuff he talked about on the Happy Sad Confused podcast didn’t have anything to do with “Rebel Moon” at all.
Zack Snyder’s “Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver” is almost upon us, debuting on Netflix this Friday, April 19 (read our review of ‘Part One’). Given its imminent release, the filmmaker appeared on the Happy Sad Confused podcast to discuss Rebel Moon’ and his entire career.
Georgia born actress Neva Howell will portray Martha Kent, Clark Kent’s adoptive Earth mother, in Warner Bros/DC Studio’s Superman from filmmaker and studio co-Boss James Gunn.
What’s next for director Zack Snyder after his upcoming “Rebel Moon” part two sci-fi sequel? While the genre filmmaker has teased a possible third installment in the series, Snyder still has various projects in the oven and is still mulling over what gets made from that pack of contenders, including a sequel to his “Army Of The Dead” zombie movie. During a recent chat with Games Radar to promote the second half of “Rebel Moon,” Snyder was asked about some of the previous projects he had in development, such as a film inspired by the King Arthur mythology (Snyder is a big fan of John Boorman’s R-rated “Excalibur”), Horse Latitudes (a long-gestating Afghan War pic formerly known as “The Last Photograph”), and his sexualized take on Alexander The Great in “Blood & Ashes” too (Snyder once mused about making a George Washington action film).
Coming off the massive critical success of “Killers of The Flower Moon,” Martin Scorsese is reexamining his next potential options. While it briefly seemed like Scorsese’s next movie would be an adaptation of the high seas pic “The Wager” with current muse Leonardo DiCaprio (“The Wolf of Wall Street”) attached to star, a long-developing project from years ago seems to have circled back to his main interest.
