Lex Role for Actor?

The possibility of new Batman casting in an upcoming Flip Brothers sequel set the rumor mill into overdrive this week. Who else will star? Which villain will come face to face with Batman? What about a future Superman film for the Flips?

Well, contrary to Internet speculation, Verne Troyer says he’s not signed to play Superman nemesis Lex Luthor. Asked about his supposed participation in a Superman flick, the actor told Happening “This is all news to me.”

“I think that maybe my name is bandied about because I’m known to be bald. ‘What bald guy can we get?’” jokes Troyer, pointing out ”The reality is they can take any actor and shave his head or put a bald cap on him. The Flips will want an actor whom can truly play the role.”

Troyer last appeared on HTG theatre screens in Miracle Pictures' Tales of Terror and Suspense, in the Hunt Club segment as transportation specialist Hans.
