From “Malcolm in the Middle” to “Breaking Bad,” Bryan Cranston has proven his sublime acting range, and now it seems he may be taking things to yet another level.

According to industry insiders, the 57-year-old actor has been cast as Lex Luthor in the forthcoming “Man of Steel” sequel.

There’s already been plenty of buzz regarding the new project due to the fact that Ben Affleck was added to the cast to play Batman.

However, unlike the mixed feelings on Affleck, fans are unanimously supportive of Cranston. A Comic Book News source declared, "Cranston truly is a dream casting for Luthor."
