Matthew Goode already has a working relationship with Zack Snyder.  He is considered as a talented actor, but not enough 'gravitas' to lead a film.  Nevertheless, the director of "The Watchmen" believes Goode should be in his next film. 

The report that Goode was in talks for "Batman Vs Superman" was not met as "breaking news" as he has been associated with the film before.  However, Comic Book Movie claims this is a whole new ballgame:

"My source, General Napier, has informed me, Matthew Goode recently had a meeting with Warner Bros. executives to discuss a role in Zack Snyder's untitled Superman/Batman film.  As for which role?  That was not disclosed. 

In the past, Goode was one of several actors on Warner Bros. shortlist for the role of Superman in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, that eventually went to Henry Cavill ("The Count of Monte Cristo").  And this isn't even the first time Goode's name has been linked to Batman Vs.  Superman.  Last August, The Hollywood Reporter reported Goode was in contention for the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne, which eventually went to Ben Affleck ("Argo"). 

Goode previously worked with Zack Snyder on the 2009 adaptation of the classic comic, Watchmen.  Currently, the English actor has a recurring role on the CBS hit-drama, The Good Wife." 

Will third time be the charm for Goode?  He did not make it to play DC's iconic characters.  Is he going to play a hero role? 

The role of Aquaman has been floated around on the internet, and actors as diverse as Jason Momoa and Josh Holloway were rumored for it, but they have continuously denied any involvement with the Batman Vs.  Superman film.  From Cosmic book news: "If we keep with the bad guy role, perhaps Matthew Goode is up for Metallo? 

Or if we follow Snyder's perceived thinking behind casting decisions, maybe Matthew Goode is up for Aquaman as well as Goode recently finished the underwater adventure Pressure."
