Warner Bros has requested that writers pitch ideas for an alternative central baddie for the tentatively titled Man Of Steel, according to The Latino Review.
Luthor, most recently played by Kevin Spacey, is traditionally portrayed as the arch-nemesis to Superman but bosses are reportedly eager to take the sequel in a new direction.
However, insiders have revealed that the studio has not yet found a new villain that they are happy with.
Writers have a host of potential baddies to choose from, including military director General Zod, who appeared in Superman and Superman II.
