Sources tell AceShowbiz.com, the Oscar winner is the frontrunner to play Hal Jordan’s comic book alias in the Man of Steel sequel, alongside Henry Cavill as Superman and Ben Affleck as Batman.

Washington had been in talks to play the role of Superman’s nemesis Lex Luthor in the new blockbuster, but now insiders claim Joaquin Phoenix is in talks to play the villain.
