Whenever a new comic book movie is announced, the casting rumour mill goes into overdrive, particularly with people sharing their opinions online.
The same thing happened with Superman: Legacy, as fans speculated as to who might play The Man of Steel and other major characters like Lois Lane and Lex Luthor.
Director and writer James Gunn has found his Superman and Lois in the form of David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan, though Luthor and other major roles are yet to be cast - we don't even know yet if Luthor will feature in the movie.
One man who certainly won't be playing Luthor is porn star Johnny Sins who, to be fair, does bear a striking resemblance to the comic book villain.
Twitter page Le Cinephiles shared a fake story confirming the above... and people actually believed it.
Gunn has actually had to respond to the rumours. When asked if Sins had been cast, the director responded:
BREAKING: Johnny Sins has been officially cast as Lex Luthor in James Gunn’s ‘SUPERMAN: LEGACY.’ pic.twitter.com/Cup7wUpOLk— Le Cinéphiles (@LeCinephiles) August 12, 2023
"Oh my God, you can't possibly believe that."
Sins is a veteran actor, though, having appeared in such iconic features like Let's Play Doctor, Big Butts Like it Big, Cheerleaders and My Dad's Hot Girlfriend.
What is the plot of Superman: Legacy?
The synopsis reads:
'Superman: Legacy tells the story of Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.'
