Leonardo DiCaprio holding a flaming matchstick in Martin Scorsese's 'Shutter Island'
This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. One of the most controversial comic book films in history almost looked entirely different. In a recent interview with Josh Horowitz promoting his upcoming film Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver, director Zack Snyder revealed that he met with Oscar-winning star Leonardo DiCaprio for the role of Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
This news comes as a bit of a shock, considering DiCaprio has been open throughout his career about avoiding comic book movies, so adamant about it as to pass that advice on to younger stars such as Timothée Chalamet. DiCaprio once told Chalamet the best guidance he could offer him was to "stay away from hard drugs and superhero movies." It would've been fun to see DiCaprio star as an iconic villain like Lex Luthor in a comic book movie.
