Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you what could have been one of the greatest casting coups in cinema history
That fake poster just made 30 million dollars. But, while it’s a fun proposition, it wouldn't have any real effect on the quality of the movie.
You know what would? If Bryan Cranston had played Lex Luthor instead of Jesse Eisenberg in Batman V Superman.
They should have cast Heisenberg instead of Eisenberg (YEAAAAAAAAAAAH!).
Look, BVS had a lot of issues but chief among them was the absolutely abysmal Jesse Eisenberg. I understand what they were going for, but it backfired spectacularly. He was horrid.
The Extended Cut significantly improves the movie and it could have been further improved if *The Cran Man* (Patent Pending) had been cast as Luthor. I’m not going to go into detail as to why he would have made a good Lex Luthor, okay, I’ll give you one reason; he’s Bryan f*cking Cranston.
Imagine the climactic Heli-pad scene between Superman and Luthor with Cranston at the helm. Now that would have been some scene. Even his back and forths with Holly Hunter would be drastically improved. We know Cranston can turn the ‘menace’ up to 11. Also, the character of Luthor would have been altered a little bit if Cranston had played the role; it would have been much closer to his comic-book personality.
Eisenberg came across as a whiny child that would squeal in terror if Batman or Superman came knocking. But Cranston? He would have been the one who knocks!
Let me put it this way, I would give the Cinematic Cut of BVS a 5.5/10 and the Extended Cut a 7/10. With Cranston as Luthor in the Extended Cut; I’d imagine it would be 8/10.
It wouldn't have made BVS perfect by any means, but it would have improved it significantly.
What do you think Heisenberg?
