Lex Luthor DCU Actor Nicholas Hoult Has High Praise For ‘Smallville’ Star Michael Rosenbaum

There’s nothing Lex Luthor loves more than himself! Nicholas Hoult recently sung his praises for Michael Rosenbaum’s take on the character in Smallville.

While opinions toward Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor in the DCU have been warming up as production on Superman ramps up, it seems as though the actor has at least been doing his homework. In fact, before Hoult was cast in Superman, fans were campaigning for the Smallville actor to return to the role thanks to his previous work with James Gunn on the Guardians of the Galaxy series. While Nicholas Hoult will be playing the main role in the DCU, Michael Rosenbaum still remains very connected to the character, even working on a Smallville animated series with his co-star Tom Welling.
