Reportedly, not only Cranston will portray the character of Lex Luthor in the sequel to "Man of Steel" alone. The 57-year-old actor will also appear as Lex Luthor in some other DC Comics films.
It's just like Samuel L. Jackson, who plays Nick Fury in two films "Iron Man", "Thor", "Captain America: The First Avenger" and "The Avengers".
Still the same as the last, the sequel to "Man of Steel" Henry Cavill will play Superman still and Zack Synder is directing the film.
