Despite his best efforts, actor Nicholas Hoult has now been rejected forDC’stwo biggest superhero roles.
Corenswet and Brosnahan beat out several actors gunning for the iconic partsincludingX-Men: First Classstar Nicholas Hoult andBarbie’sEmma Mackey.
This all comes after Hoult was turned down to play DC’s other major superheroBatmanin Matt Reeves’The Batmanfilm.
I think Matt Reeves ideas were fantastic and he made a brilliant movie.
So I dont think I would have done as good a job as him ultimately.
I dont think I could have fit as well into the world that Matt created as Rob did.
I think thats probably a strength of mine as an actor as well.
They knew what they were doing.
So its not like Im sitting there like, Oh, Im not going to watch it now.
Its a good movie and Rob is brilliant in it.
Will Nicholas Hoult Join the DCU?
Could he perhaps be the pick forGunn’s take on the Caped Crusaderall these years later?
It might just be speculation at this point, but it is something one has to consider.
With or without Nicholas Hoult,Superman: Legacyswoops into theaters worldwide on July 11, 2025.
