Robert Downey Jr. Was Locked as Lex Luthor in McG’s ‘Superman’ Reboot

The ‘This Means War’ director reveals that the ‘Iron Man’ actor would have played Superman’s archenemy in his former movie project, which was taken over by Bryan Singer who helmed ‘Superman Returns’.

Though he is now famously known for his portrayal of superhero Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. was actually cast as a supervillain in McG’s “Superman” reboot back in 2002. Though the project was dead, the director revealed that Downey Jr. originally signed on to star as Lex Luthor five years before he was attached to Jon Favreau’s “Iron Man”.

Speaking to Indie Wire during the press junket of “This Means War”, McG discussed his former superhero movie project, which once had J.J. Abrams serving as the screenwriter. “We had Robert Downey Jr. locked up to be Lex Luthor, which I think would have been extraordinary,” he unveiled.

Surprisingly, the filmmaker admitted that at that time he also eyed Henry Cavill, who tackles the lead role in Zack Snyder’s upcoming “Man of Steel”, to play the part of the titular superhero. “Ironically, we liked Henry Cavill a lot, but we hadn’t cast him yet,” said the 43-year-old director.

Back in 2002, McG was attached to direct a “Superman” reboot called “Flyby”. The project had also tapped Abrams as the scribe, who provided a great script that took the film into a different approach and made changes to Superman’s origins. McG, however, decided to leave the project due to his aerophobia after Warner Bros. Pictures insisted to shoot the movie in Australia.

Of his failed project, which was initially planned as a trilogy, McG said, “J.J. wrote the script, and we got that to a really good place in the end.” He continued on, “But I’m to blame for [the film not happening].”

Since McG dropped out “Flyby”, Bryan Singer was chosen to replace him in 2004, resulting in 2006′s “Superman Returns”. McG himself decided to work on plane crash drama “We Are Marshall” instead.

McG’s upcoming directorial movie after “This Means War” is “Ouija”, a supernatural film co-produced by Michael Bay. The “Terminator Salvation” helmer also serves as the producer for Anders Anderson’s upcoming thriller starring James Van Der Beek called “Stolen”.

Robert Downey Jr.’s ‘Perry Mason’ Reboot Lands Hot Writer

The studio is negotiating with Marc Guggenheim to write the script for the movie version of the defense attorney made famous by Raymond Burr.

Marc Guggenheim is in negotiations to write the big-screen adventures of Perry Mason, set up at Warner Bros. as a potential starring vehicle for Robert Downey Jr.

Downey also is producing with his wife and partner Susan Downey and their banner Team Downey, along with Robert Cort.

Mason is a defense attorney character at the center of a series of books by Erle Stanley Gardner that were first adapted as films and radio plays in the 1930s. The books were hugely popular but the character’s appeal reached new heights with the TV series that starred Raymond Burr and ran from 1957 to 1966.

Guggenheim is writing a script based off an original story by Downey and Team Downey president David Gambino, bringing the character back to Los Angeles of the 1930s.

Guggenheim will likely call upon his previous career as an attorney when tackling the script. The scribe practiced in Boston before embarking on a writing career. His early scripts centered around law and attorneys as he worked on shows such as The Practice and Law & Order. He also co-created the legal dramedy Eli Stone.

Gambino, Eric Hetzel and Joe Horacek are exec producing with Susan Feiles and Chris Darling.

Jon Berg is overseeing for Warners.

Guggenheim also is a comic book writer, having worked for Marvel and DC Comics. He co-wrote the Green Lantern movie and is exec producing and co-writing Arrow, CW’s take on DC’s Green Arrow hero.  He is repped by WME and Ziffren Brittenham.
