Edi Gathegi thought his "Superman" audition was for Lex Luthor at first.

"Because the character was named 'Apex Lex.' In my research, I discovered that Lex has this mechanized suit — maybe this is a play on the super-powered Lex Luthor, and James [Gunn] has a different take. But I was actually auditioning for Mister Terrific."
