Looks like Bryan Cranston has signed a ‘six picture’ deal as Lex Luthor

We’ve heard rumours floating about that Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston was going to be playing Lex Luthor in the upcoming ‘Man of Steel’ sequel, but now it looks like those rumours might actually be true.

Could it be? Is it true? Well, we won’t know for sure until AMC’s Breaking Bad comes to an end, but according to TheHollywoodNews.com, Cranston is going to be the new Lex Luthor.

We’ve already had our fill over superhero news today with Ben Affleck being announced as the next Batman, but the TheHollywoodNews.com says, “early word suggests… Cranston has reportedly signed on for a six-picture recurring Nick Fury-like role as the mischievous billionaire head of LexCorp.”

The site goes on to report that Cranston could also be “making an appearance in possible sequels and future JUSTICE LEAGUE ensemble.”

It’s certainly good news for Superman and Bryan Cranston fans alike…
