Superman Film Releases New Trailer Featuring David Corenswet, Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor
Nicholas Hoult initially auditioned for the role of Superman in James Gunn's upcoming film but soon realized David Corenswet was the better fit for the part, ultimately being cast as the villain Lex Luthor instead. Hoult describes his portrayal of Luthor as an obsessive, relentless, and highly intelligent figure whose motivations are fueled by deep resentment toward Superman's natural powers, making him a credible threat through advanced technology and intellect. Inspired partly by Michael Rosenbaum's Smallville Lex and the rise of modern tech billionaires, Hoult aimed to present Luthor as an "alpha" character who believes he deserves admiration for his efforts toward humanity. James Gunn and Hoult seek to explore new dimensions of the iconic villain, potentially incorporating elements of Lex as a mad scientist, including tech-enhanced armor and unhinged scientific pursuits, diverging from the traditional business tycoon depiction. The first official trailer for the film was released with a teaser focusing on Hoult’s Luthor, generating excitement among fans ahead of the movie’s July 11 release. The film also stars David Corenswet as Superman and features a supporting cast including Isabela Merced, Milly Alcock, and Rachel Brosnahan.
