After five seasons of playing Walter White, the chemist-turned-meth-kingpin on AMC's Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston has racked up plenty of evil-doer experience. And according to report from Cosmic Book News, he'll boost his villian credentials even further by playing Superman nemesis Lex Luthor in the upcoming sequel for Man of Steel.

Cranston has reportedly signed a deal that includes at least six appearances (and possibly more), meaning that his character will appear in a variety of films set within the inter-connected DC Comics universe.

I heard about this last week. It was just rumors, and Cranston said about the rumors "give me a call".

I honestly think he can pull it off. Rosenbaum did a great job on Smallville. Had that friendly, yet evil side. Cranston can do that no problem as well.

I like Cranston as an actor, but isn't he a bit too old to play Lex?

I'm too far from bald to even be considered.
