With any role in Hollywood, there are always a slew of names that are in contention. But apparently there was a pretty big one in the running for #ZackSnyder’s Lex Luthor at one point: #LeonardoDiCaprio.

In the latest episode of the “Happy, Sad, Confused” podcast, “Batman v. Superman” director Zack Snyder casually revealed that, while he talked to people like Adam Driver about the role — though that was only a phone call — he also had conversations with the “Titanic” star.

“He had a lot of great ideas actually, just in the meeting,” Snyder said. “I think in the end, he was like ‘Eh, I don’t know.’ But he was really smart about the material and really smart about the character.”
