Nicholas Hoult Joins Superman: Legacy as Lex Luthor; Former TV Lex Jon Cryer Believes He’ll ‘Absolutely Crush’ the Role
.....Nicholas Hoult is poised to tackle the iconic role of Lex Luthor in James Gunn’s forthcoming Superman: Legacy movie, and he’s doing so with the blessing of another actor who recently brought the DC villain to life on the small screen.
Jon Cryer, who portrayed Superman’s arch nemesis across The CW’s Arrowverse from 2019 to 2021, posted his response to Hoult’s casting on Threads shortly after the news was announced on Monday: “He will absolutely CRUSH this.”
Hoult is coming off a three-season run as The Great‘s Emperor Peter III of Russia, a role for which he received Golden Globe nominations in 2021 and 2022, as well as a Primetime Emmy nomination in 2022. Hulu announced the comedy’s unexpected cancellation on Aug. 30. No stranger to comic franchises, Hoult previously portrayed Hank McCoy (aka Beast) in several X-Men films, beginning with 2011’s X-Men: First Class.
Set to be released in theaters on July 11, 2025, Superman: Legacy serves as a significant reboot to the DC Extended Universe. Formerly played by Henry Cavill, the DCEU’s new Man of Steel will be portrayed by David Corenswet (Hollywood, The Politician), while Amy Adams is passing her baton to Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), who will embody intrepid reporter Lois Lane.......
