The next installment of the new superman movies is soon to be in development but it looks like Lex Luthor is has reportedly been axed as the main villain as Warner Bros want someone new to be the baddie.
Warner Bros has asked writers to come up with ideas for another bad guy for the new movie which has already been titled as Man Of Steel. Kevin spacey played Superman’s Arch-Nemesis in the most recent film Superman Returns but the new movie is said to take a new direction and the first step towards this is to change the villain - other changes may follow.
Warner Bros have still not been able to agree with a villain they are happy with as of yet and even investigated old ones such as General Zod who appeared in Superman and Superman 2 . However, they haven’t ruled out ideas for a brand new bad guy for the new film.
