After being heavily rumored for Doctor Strange, it seems like Joaquin Phoenix has pulled out his name. This is no shock when you consider that Phoenix doesn't want to be locked into a contract and Marvel is known for locking up their actors. Still, it gives Phoenix a bad reputation as a teaser. He played around the idea of playing Lex Luthor for a long time and he has been considering this since before Comic-Con. There are many other actors that have been rumored or expressed interest, though, so it's no big worry. Among those actors are Tom Hardy, Jared Leto, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Ethan Hawke. I feel we will be hearing about this soon, because the movie will have to start filming in the next couple of months. What do you think of this news?
