From John Locke to Lex Luthor? Could be.

Terry O'Quinn, best known for his Emmy-winning role as John Locke on ABC's Lost, is now rumored to be in contention for the iconic role of Lex Luthor in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel, which will see Batman team up with Superman -- or fight him. Maybe both. We're not sure because there's no story just yet, nor is there even a title, although the internet has collectively taken to calling the film Batman vs. Superman, which is a marvel in itself, since the internet rarely agrees on anything.

O'Quinn joins Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston on the rumor list, although I'm still convinced Cranston was just wishful thinking, as his casting ended up being outed as a hoax by reporters who saw a bald guy and thought, "Oh my God, I think I know who would make a good Lex Luthor? Now, to the internet to see if anyone's thought of this yet!"

While it's not even 100% confirmed that Luthor will even be in Batman vs. Superman, director Zack Snyder has hinted that the sequel will feature the iconic villain.

So what do you think of the rumor? Who would you like to see in the role? Or would you rather we get a different villain altogether, since Luthor is as played out as "Party Rock Anthem"? Sound off in the comments!
