Robert Downey Jr. moves over from the MCU to the DC Universe as he becomes Lex Luthor in new Superman: Legacy fan art for James Gunn's reboot.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT New Superman: Legacy fan art imagines Robert Downey Jr. as Lex Luthor in James Gunn's DC Universe, imagining the beloved Iron Man star as the Man of Steel's greatest enemy. With the DCEU movie timeline leading to a reboot this year, a new DC Universe is on its way from Gunn and Peter Safran under their DC Studios regime.
While actors have been cast for Superman: Legacy, there is still no villain attached yet in light of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. As the world waits for more news, Stryder HD shared new artwork of what Downey Jr. could look like as the villainous Lex Luthor in Superman: Legacy. Throughout Stryder HD's Superman: Legacy video, Downey Jr. gets imagined through several looks as Lex, primarily in traditional business suits. However, the Superman: Legacy artwork also includes Downey Jr.'s Lex getting his infamous Lexosuit, giving the longtime MCU veteran a different type of armor from his Iron Man suits.
One of the reported Superman: Legacy casting reports that have been floating around is that there have been auditions for a character named "Apex," which DC Studios have not confirmed or denied. The speculation is that "Apex" is a code name for Lex, but also potentially hinting at what kind of Lex the DC Universe will feature in Superman: Legacy.
It wouldn't be shocking if Lex is actually in Superman: Legacy, but instead a secondary antagonist, allowing the movie to set up a bigger arc for him in future DC Universe projects. Given how many past Superman movies have featured Lex as the main villain, it wouldn't be bad for the DC Universe to take a more lengthy approach with Lex, especially as Gunn and Safran have a decade-long plan for this new franchise.
