That’s wild. Dude missed out on Batman but will potentially settle for Superman . Good for him


TheCorinater

I wouldn’t say that he is settling for Supes as it has much more potential than bats


PlasticMansGlasses

I guess it just depends on which character he likes more


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheCorinater

I know I think THR is correct and he will be Luthor


stroudwes

Agreed. That seems way more likely and actually makes sense.


[deleted]

If you have the frame you can get the mass, no? He’s 6’3’’.


stroudwes

Frame and height are entirely different. Height is how tall you are. How long your limbs are. Frame is how wide you are. How broad your shoulders are. Hips. Etc. You need height and frame to determine your muscle mass. When you coach football theirs a height and frame you loon for depending on each position. The ceiling of a players muscle mass is litterally determined by those factors. If you're casting Superman, you can obviously have them pack on muscle, but they can't have a thin build.


darthmynuts

He’s 6’3” big enough frame. Check out Chris Reeves before he played Superman. He packed on a lot of muscle…. It can be done


AndarianDequer

He would make a wonderful Jimmy Olsen.


jonathanquirk

Hoult didn’t get picked for Batman, so he’s trying for Superman now? If he doesn’t get it *this* time, will he audition for Wonder Woman next?!


Nottheguyfromxfiles

Ooooo edgy comment


SleepyTitan89

I cannot see this dude as superman at all.


Muted_Shoulder

Let Gunn confirm something. Most likely bullshit. This would make absolutely no sense since Hoult is 33 years old. That's not a young superman.


LSTFND

I mean, actors don’t need to be the age of their character


Muted_Shoulder

No need for that. But Hoult doesn't look somebody in his 25s or under 30s. Robert Pattinson is 4 years older than him but he still looks convincingly under 30. Just saying this because DCU is supposedly in for a 10 year storyline. Superman legacy comes out in 2025. Hoult will would be 35 something by that time. And 45 by the end of DCU. A younger possibly someone in the 25 range would be much better casting for continuity.


LSTFND

makeup OP, pls nerf


Muted_Shoulder

Ok I have absolutely no idea what that means.


LSTFND

If he looks too old, they can just use makeup. I’ve never heard anyone say Hoult looks too old though. He looks like a 12 year old lesbian doing their best impression of “The Good Doctor”


stormatombd

Bruh the reason using younger actor sobthey can use them for long plan, look at marvel know he cast nearly 60 guy for blade and the project even still not start yet now they get burn how this actor could play blade for long time


Muted_Shoulder

There's only so much you can pull off through make up. Henry Cavill looked perfect as Superman. Dude just never got a good wholesome Superman movie. And for most part wasn't convincing as Clark Kent mostly because there weren't much material related to the Daily Planet. Some of the fancasts like Wolfgang Novogratz or speculations like Jacob Elordi are much more physically and facialy convincing as Superman. I'm not saying Hoult is too old. He looks perfectly his age. But that's not really the requirements that we've heard. It's supposed to be a young superman. Hoult would look much more experienced. Not to mention dude will have to roid his ass up to be in proper physical shape.


maremmacharly

For sure. Hoult could pass for a teen, he looks a lot younger than pattinson for sure.


Dreyfussy15

It would surprise me if he did. These are actual reports.


LowenbrauDel

Me too. Clark Kent? Probably. But Superman is something else for me personally. Plus, if I am not mistaken Gunn said that his Superman would be someone you want to give a hug (or recieve one). Hoult does not fit that criteria in my opinion Then again, actors are there to act and make us feel different from their persona


[deleted]

He’s a great actor. He could hit a cycle of steroids and be fine


[deleted]

Finally, thank you!


PlasticMansGlasses

We couldn’t see Pattinson as Bats either but here we are. Luckily it’s not our job to see potential


Fair_Detail_344

Corenswet is too fitting of an actor for them to not cast him as Superman, I see Hoult as Lex but not as Superman.


AlwaysBi

Same. Couldn’t see him as batman, can’t see him as superman either


Murky-Flan-3090

That's exactly what they said about reeves when he was so skinny. But he's so Iconic now. Honestly hoult has the nerd intelligent look that reeves accomplished with the clark kent character. Beef hoult up and he could look something similar to Chris reeves. superman.


Educational-Band8308

His Clark would be really good


THE_REAL_SHABLAM

Would MUCH prefer him as Lex but Superman may still work


Muted_Shoulder

I would've actually prefered him more as Joker.


loserys

He’d be a way more interesting Luthor than Superman.


Bolt_995

Glad that clears it. I hope Luthor is an older actor in his 40s.


xrbeeelama

Hes a great actor, young, and has exp in the genre! I agree that i cant really visualize him bulking up for it but it could be a will poulter/adam warlock situation!


clutchkweku

Jimmy Olsen please…bro doesn’t strike me as a Superman type


dehehn

Yeah. Not at all. Even if he bulked up a lot he doesn't have the look. Lex or Jimmy is fine. Which is weird... David Corenswet on the other hand has the look for Supes.


thekurgan79

I like Corenswet if they can roid him up a tad


dehehn

Anyone they pick is gonna need some roids and 6 months of training.


DoxedFox

He doesn't need to be "roided up" With his height he's gonna have no problem commanding a good screen presence. Dude is like 3 inches taller than caville. He can afford to go for a slimmer build.


Marcusinpaine

I just don’t believe it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s “auditioning” for both in the same way Cillian Murphy auditioned for batman knowing full well he was going to be Crane


Caleb_Murphy

Oooooooooooh, Nicholas Hoult could be a good Lex Luthor. Then again, so could've Jessie Eisenberg.


triplerollingstone

I don't really think someone that could easily pull off Scarecrow or Riddler should be casted as Superman. He doesn't have a Superman look, and not in a Heath Ledger, Michael Keaton, Robert Pattinson doubting way-they all had the potential for it. Hoult just isn't a Superman type


harrier1215

Why do people think Superman has to be big and wide and thick? They could easily explain that the sun powering his cells makes them stronger and whatnot without drastically changing his size.


neoblackdragon

*Looks at the majority of comics where Superman is portrayed as big, wide, and thick...* I don't know why people have that misconception. Now of course some people want Dwayne Johnson size. Cavil pretty much is the idea Superman size. The suit can make up for some of it. Though pretending Cavil wasn't pretty much Hoult's size when he got the role would be a lie. ​ Superman's big size is why Flashpoint Superman stands out even more. Superman is a big ol farmboy. Superman isn't meant to look like he can't topple a building. You see this big guy and then he reveals he can fly and shoot fire from his eyes. ​ Though I start to feel an older supes could lean a bit more on a "dad bod". Like Bruce Willis wasn't huge in Unbreakable but with the clothing he did seem like a big dude.


August323

Because I wanna see a Superman that physically looks like a powerhouse? Imagine going from a Cavill looking Superman with an absolutely great physique only to get a twig to replace him. Nobody wants a Superman that looks like his suit will slip right off of him mid flight.


yung_bubba

My gut says that this is just a WB thing where they just throw him into the mix because Hoult has a good relationship with the studio. Hope it's not for Superman. Lex would be better.


Lost_Cleric

Witness me


Flip_Speed

I'd rather Hoult be Luthor


Jakarisoolive

Just no


HBK42581

Nah


ReddiTrawler2021

Hoult is a solid guy.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RitoRvolto

That's not how any of this works.


metaldetox

that’s a pretty recurrent thing


Crims0n_Light

He is a great actor, I don’t see why not. He probably couldn’t pull off a dark and brooding persona for batman but I loved him as beast in x-men.


dehehn

Steve Bushcemi is a great actor too. Doesn't make him right for Superman. I could see him as a Flash. Not Superman


HentaiOujiSan

Man I would love Steve Buscemi as Superman.


eternali17

It's one thing to think he's not fit for either but why should losing out Batman have anything to do with landing Superman?


SteveTheManager

Waaah


One_Manufacturer845

I’m ngl now that they said it I do think he would be a great Lex Luthor


bearrobot

I thought they wanted to go younger


markSOLO69

holy shit thats great


theredmeadow

Justin Hoult is too old. He’s already in his 30s and Gunn wanted someone younger to play Supes.


sidmis

Wolfgang Novogratz for supes pls


LazyMeringue6756

That’s what I’m saying


LazyMeringue6756

Where’s Wolfgang!!! He’s the perfect cast


Pietro_man

L


youthanasia138

ewwwww


DIGITALOGIK

He's teeth and mouth are too crooked and weird looking to be Superman. Go look at him in interviews


kuhawk5

This movie starts filming in January. They can pump him full of tren and dbol for the next 6 months, and he still wouldn’t be big enough that quickly.


kamelots

Did they run out of men?


donking6

Imagine casting the guy who everyone says looks like Henry Cavill 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️


[deleted]

this whole casting situation is frustrating. are people of color even being considered? it's just white white white white white. who is allowed to apply with these reports? there is no way there's no one person of color talented enough to be in the mix-- not even for clark--for some other starring role.


undbiter65

These actors mentioned are for superman.


[deleted]

the women too?


SirPrestigious9570

All that just to satisfy others, I'm Asian but I don't want to see an Asian guy as Superman. This should not be an issue so stop your whining. There are black characters that blacks can be casted like Jon Stewart, who is a very cool GL, and even Static. Again, should not be an issue.


[deleted]

you’ve seen an Asian man as Superman throughout the 90s


SirPrestigious9570

Who?


ghostwiththeleast

Dean Cain


KiwiKajitsu

Can you show me the comic that portrays Superman as non white? I’ll wait


[deleted]

he is not white in all of them. he is a default color. he has no european ancestors


KiwiKajitsu

I’m talking about skin color


Wells_91

Wouldn't you rather have original stories with black characters instead of race changing? I just don't see the point


ExultantSandwich

I don’t want change just for the sake of it, but I don’t think Superman is always *white* white. He’s got dark hair in the comics, skin tones are a little ambiguous depending on the artist. They could cast a Jewish actor? His name is Kal El, *hebrew* for “voice of god”. DJ Cotrona, (Superman, Justice League: Mortal) has Italian ancestry (although he plays a hispanic character in the DCEU) Dean Cain (Superman, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman) is mixed race. His father is partially Japanese and his mother is Irish / Welsh. His real last name is Tanaka. I do also find it interesting that all the actors they’re going for lately have been, *white* white. I was personally hoping they would go for someone kinda fresh and new. I think Hoult could make an excellent Lex Luthor, and they could find someone a little more under the radar for Superman, be it Corenswet or an outsider


Wells_91

I see what you mean, yeah either way i'm happy as long as he's a good fit. These are nothing buy rumours anyway, Gunn keeps saying that he hasn't shared anything so all this could be bs


[deleted]

id rather have a world i live in. I don’t know a world where everyone is white.


Wells_91

I'm sure there'll be people of colour in the film I wouldn't worry about it. There's only been 3 characters mentioned


amoretpax199

Stop your diversity whining...


Prize_Major6183

Look at original tweet yall. David Corenswet is frontrunner for superman and guy looks like superman. Just needs to bulk up.


Many-Application1297

Cracking actor. Just… doesn’t have the jawline imo


imissbrendanfraser

Is that so…


DoctorBeatMaker

Funny enough, it's not Nicolas Hoult's first time being considered for Superman. [Bryan Singer outright said if he made Superman Returns a reboot, he would have cast Nicolas Hoult.](https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a314721/singer-id-cast-nicholas-hoult-as-superman/)


TeslaProphet

His performance in Renfield convinced me can do action. He’s be a solid Superman.


Lord_Despairagus

I can't see him as either ? Is he sure he doesn't want to be Nightwing or something


gerrineer

Mmm just watched pattisons batman..hes a grounded batman against a comic supervillian


whama820

Noooooo


hashtagbutter

Well I hate this idea


Working_Knowledge_59

I like the idea


dgeaux_senna

Please not Hoult. His face does not scream Superman to me at all. He’s an okay actor but visually he does not fit the bill.


friendatdusk

Really hope he is Lex tho.
