Zack Snyder Considered Tom Hanks For Lex Luthor Before Casting Jesse Eisenberg
Just a few months ago, Tom Hanks wondered aloud why he was never cast in a superhero movie. "They don’t ask me and I keep trying … Come on, I can do it.

It turns out Hanks was on a very shortlist of contenders to play Lex Luthor in 'Batman vs. Superman.'
