March 24, 2008: Kevin Spacey on Returning for Superman Sequel

DarkHorizons.com interviewed Kevin Spacey about his new film titled "21" and during the interview asked him about returning as Lex Luthor in the next Superman movie...

Question: I understand that Bryan Singer is about to meet with his writers to do a new draft of Superman?

Spacey: I hear that, that is exactly what's happening, and I would suspect that if the movie's going to go forward, and I don't know any more than you do, that it probably will be sometime in 2009.

Question: And you are quite keen to go back on board as Lex Luthor, aren't you?

Spacey: I'm signed to go back on board. [LAUGHTER] Yeah, no, my deal was a two-picture deal.

Question: Well, they'll sign your life away the way they do these big franchise movies.

Spacey: Yeah, but it was the first one I'd ever did, and, quite frankly, but I'd do it again, with Bryan Singer after 10 years, since Usual Suspects was a complete pleasure, and I loved it, and so I look forward to being able to get another crack at it.
