X-Men Star Nicholas Hoult Cast as Lex Luthor in Superman: Legacy
Going from good-guy “Beast” to super-evil “Lex Luthor”? It seems that way according to Deadline, who reported interesting DC news today. According to them, Nicholas Hoult (X-Men) will play Lex Luthor in the upcoming film “Superman: Legacy”.
James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) is writing and directing the latest “Superman” reboot. Already attached is David Corenswet playing the “Man of Steel” with Rachel Brosnahan as “Lois Lane.
Plus, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific and Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner. Along with Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, and Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer.
After seeing Hoult in “The Menu”, I think he’ll play a great “Lex”. Definitely check that movie out if you haven’t seen it. I won’t spoil anything, other than it’s way more exciting than the title.
Among many other roles, he also played “Beast” in three X-Men films, “First Class”, “Days of Future Past”, “Apocalypse” and “Dark Phoenix”.
