However , Gunn’sSupermanmovie could finally be the live - action mechanism property to see Lex Luthor duke it out with Krypton ’s last son .
Since Hoult has been getting in physical shape forSuperman , it is potential that Gunn is going to have this Lex Luthor be more natural process - driven than ever . With Lex having his Lexosuit in the cartoon strip , that would make it incredibly credible that he would be able to fight Superman in some capacity . Given how this Lex will also be closer in age to Clark , as Hoult is only four year older thanSuperman’sDavid Corenswet , the DC Universe could be setting the stage for the two to have a far more forcible dynamic , as opposed to previous avatar .
