In this new installment, the infamous criminal Alexander Joseph Luthor, commonly known as Lex Luthor, will be the main antagonist. The inclusion of this character suggests that the narrative will delve into deep conflicts involving both Luthor’s strategic mind and his enmity with Superman. Over the years, Luthor has been portrayed in various ways, and his role as a villain promises to offer a new perspective, in line with the narrative approach that has characterized Gunn’s work in his previous projects.
David Corenswet, who successfully portrayed Superman in the previous film, has been confirmed to reprise his role.
