His work on screen has earned him various accolades, including an Academy Award, two Golden Globe Awards, and a British Academy Film Award. Crowe was born in New Zealand, spending ten years of his childhood in Australia and residing there permanently by age 21. He began acting in Australia and had his break-out role in Romper Stomper (1992). He gained international recognition in the late 1990s for his starring roles in L.A. Confidential (1997) and The Insider (1999). Crowe gained wider stardom for playing the title role of Gladiator (2000), which earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor. Further acclaim came for portraying real-life mathematician John Forbes Nash Jr. in A Beautiful Mind (2001). Crowe then starred in several films in the 2000s, including Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003), Cinderella Man (2005), 3:10 to Yuma (2007), American Gangster (2007), State of Play (2009), and Robin Hood (2010).

The twelfth DCEU film, the fourteenth project. It all started with them, so it's only fair that the end of this first phase should begin with them as well. Their path led them here, to the inevitable clash. Superman versus Lex Luthor. After the battle against Zod and Superman in Metropolis, the confrontation between Steppenwolf and the heroes now known as the Justice League, and the attack by Atlantis on the surface, public opinion is divided about Superman. While some are grateful that the hero saved them, that he is responsible for the world continuing to turn and the sky remaining blue, some believe that metahumans, those who call themselves heroes, especially the Kryptonian, are responsible for these threats arising. This opinion is fueled by Lex Luthor, who, since Zod's attack, has been publicly campaigning to fuel hatred against Superman. As part of his plan to discredit him, Luthor releases Parasite, selling him as a dangerous alien, when in fact he is the result of a LexCorp experiment. However, when his plan fails and Superman saves the day, Luthor decides that if you want a job done right, you have to do it yourself, leading him to don his battle armor to show Superman and everyone else who the real Man of Tomorrow is.
