I have to admit, as usual, I didn't know who either of these people are. I agree that the guy who will play Lex doesn't appear to fit the role, but I can't speak to either of these actors' abilities. However, from reading everyone's comments, it seems like Alfred is in safe hands. As for Lex, I'm sure the actor had to try out by going through a scene and impressed the casting director. (If they didn't go through that necessary step, then shame on them.) And since good actors can do a range of parts, just because he's never played a similar part, doesn't mean he's incapable of doing so. I'm not saying he's a good actor, because I've actually never heard of him, but many of you say he is, and while some of you say he isn't, I'm as always, optimistic about this movie. This will be the first live action movie ever to feature more than one of DC's main heroes. It's gonna be awesome. I really enjoyed Man of Steel too. However, I really hope Lex isn't the main villain, but rather a background character, because I never cared for characters, like Luthor, who are way too overused. Luthor was the or a main villain in all four of the original Superman movies, and Superman Returns. I was really glad when Man of Steel came out that they had finally made a movie without him. That being said, I was disappointed they went with Zod because he had already been in Superman 2, while other Superman villains have never appeared in a live action movie. Granted, Supes doesn't have as great a rogues gallery as Bats or Spidey, but there are some important villains such as Brainiac, Parasite, Metallo, Bizarro, even Toyman and Mr. Mxyzptlk. Anyway, one last thing about Man of Steel and also the Amazing Spider-Man that I didn't like was that in both movies, all the hero really did to some extent was clean up their own mess.
