2024 Proved Superman"s First DC Universe Villain Casting Is Truly Perfect 3 Different Times

:0:1

Superman has an excellent cast, and one actor proved they"re a perfect choice for the main villain three times in 2024. James Gunn"s Superman movie cast is stacked with talented actors who should fit their prospective roles. David Corenswet looks great as Superman and Clark Kent, and the first trailer shows promising chemistry between him and Rachel Brosnahan"s Lois Lane. Lois and Clark also work with The Daily Planet"s stellar cast, like Wendell Pierce, Beck Bennett, and Skyler Gisondo.
Many other heroes in the DCU"s first film, including Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, and Mr. Terrific are also played by talented actors like Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, and Edi Gathegi. However, the most well-known actor in this cast is arguably Nicholas Hoult, playing Lex Luthor. Hoult has built an impressive resume over the years, playing Beast in four X-Men films, and starring in renowned films like The Menu and Mad Max: Fury Road. If his impressive resume wasn"t enough, Hoult proved he"s perfect for Lex Luthor with three impressive 2024 performances.
Nicholas Hoult Had An Incredible End To 2024 Close Hoult starred in three renowned films in 2024: Nosferatu, The Order, and Juror #2. All three of these films were released in the last three months of 2024, meaning Hoult had a busy end to last year. His first role was in Juror #2, Clint Eastwood"s courtroom drama starring Hoult as a juror on a high-profile murder trial who slowly realizes he may be responsible for the victim"s death. It"s a captivating story and Hoult delivers an excellent performance as he deals with the moral implications of his situation, which could be a crucial part of his portrayal of Lex Luthor.
His second film, The Order, is the smallest of the three films but Hoult still delivers. He plays Bob Mathews, the leader of The Order, a white supremacist American militant group. Hoult is horrifying in this role and possibly more villainous than Lex Luthor. His final film of the year is Nosferatu, directed by Robert Eggers. Hoult plays Thomas Hutter, a real estate agent whose wife is pursued by Count Orlok. Hutter is arguably Hoult"s kindest role of the year, but it"s worth watching to see his ability to express fear and desperation.
Nicholas Hoult Already Looks Perfect As Lex Luthor In Superman's Trailer

The first Superman trailer debuted last month and increased the hype for the film exponentially. However, it only included a few glimpses at several characters, including Lex Luthor. Still, Hoult"s brief appearances in the trailer captured Lex perfectly. The moment when Lex watches Superman fly by Luthercorp and turns around in complete disdain tells viewers everything they need to know about him.
