'Breaking Bad' Star Bryan Cranston Addresses 'Man of Steel 2' Lex Luthor Role

Bryan Cranston has already portrayed one bald villain and he could soon step into the shoes of another one.

As MStars previously reported, A rumor has surfaced that the "Breaking Bad" star is up for the iconic role of Lex Luthor in the Man of Steel sequel, known for now as Batman vs. Superman or simply the Batman/Superman movie.

In an interview with Metro, Cranston addressed the possibility and seemed enthused by the idea.

"Give me a call," Cranston said with a grin, according to the article. "I like Lex Luthor. I think he's misunderstood. He's a lovable, sweet man."

Cranston has already proven he can pull off a bald villain, but there's one potential roadblock to his taking the role: his wife.

"She wasn't so keen on the bald head," Cranston said. "The bald head ages a man. It's just that she didn't know me that way and the last six years it's all of a sudden like sleeping with a stranger who was less exciting than her own husband. So I don't blame her for being upset."

Latino-Review.com writer El Mayimbe posted through a series of tweets last Wednesday that Cranston's name has been attached to the role.

This summer's Man of Steel hinted several times at a future appearance by Superman's arch nemesis. The LexCorp logo could be seen on multiple trucks and buildings throughout the film.

Cranston has previously worked with Warner Bros. in the Academy Award-winning film Argo. Filming on the Man of Steel sequel is set to begin early next year.
