New Villian for Man of Steel?

Latino Review is saying that WB are thinking about ditching Luthor entirely for someone else.

At the moment, the execs haven’t heard anything they like yet but the kicker is that WB wants a NEW VILLAIN from Superman’s Rogues Gallery to be the main antagonist…NOT LEX LUTHOR! Writers have been told to come in to the studio to pitch a story with a new villain but again, the WB hasn’t bit on anything they heard yet. 

In fact, Luthor is going to take a back seat. Whether he is altogether out or reduced to a contagonist character in the new script remains to be seen.

The article states that it’s a reboot, so good news there. If Luthor “taking a back seat” is the case, then I’m cool with that. But I don’t expect him to not be there at all.
