October 23, 2003: Vin Diesel as Lex Luthor?

Dark Horizons reports that Vin Diesel appears to be in talks to star as Lex Luthor in the up-coming Superman movie. The rumor (posted below) seems to also think that the role of Lois Lane is down to a choice between Selma Blair and Drew Barrymore. Another interesting thing to note is that the reporter of this rumor indicates that the name of the film is "Superman: Last Son of Krypton"...

"Heard that Vin Diesel - as Luthor - has met with McG and Jon Peters about Superman. Diesel turned down a couple of films lately - "xXx 2" for one - and someone I know seems to think it's because he'll be booked out for a good year or so on Superman LSOK. BUT... there's another stumbling block, McG has plans to do another movie first. I don't think he or anyone else associated is very interested in it anymore - yes THAT many people have met for Superman. It's been ongoing. The only difference now is that they might have an idea where they'll film, they've got a script, they've got a director and they've got a potential Lois [Selma Blair and Drew Barrymore fighting for it]. You really think Vin Diesel's going to put up with all the delays?"

As always, take this rumor with a grain of salt. Nothing is official until we hear an announcement direct from Warner Bros.
