As most of you may know by now, Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad," "Malcolm in the Middle," "Seinfeld") is rumored to have been cast in the role of Lex Luthor for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel sequel. Henry Cavill will reprise his role of Superman opposite the recently cast Ben Affleck who will be the next Batman. The addition of Cranston is sure to please pretty much all of the people who were made about Affleck's casting, but will it be enough? Luckily for us, a fan decided to compile clips together in order to make a fake trailer for Batman Vs. Superman. Check it out!

Here is our first "look" at what the new Superman movie could look like with these new actors cast in these important roles:

Cosmic Book News was one of the news sites that broke the news about Cranston. Here is an excerpt:

"Bryan Cranston has been cast as Lex Luthor in what is said to be at least a six "appearance" deal (think of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury popping up in every Marvel movie in the run-up to Avengers) and may be as high as ten. Look for the official announcement to follow the conclusion to the final season of "Breaking Bad" as WB wants to dovetail off the end of that.

"Regarding Ben Affleck, we are told he has allegedly a 13-appearance deal for Batman. DC is going to have all of their main characters liberally appearing or at least mentioned in all of their movies to portray a more connected world than what Marvel Studios has done so far."

There is also talk of getting Matt Damon into the Justice League somehow, but this is strictly a rumor for now. Plus, with Cranston allegedly on board, maybe we can start rumors about Aaron Paul being Flash or Aquaman in the future?
