Nicholas Hoult Has ‘Been Working Out’ to Play Lex Luthor in James Gunn’s ‘Superman,’ Taking Inspiration From ‘All-Star Superman’ Comic
Lex Luthor met Lex Luthor as Nicholas Hoult was the latest guest on the "Inside of You" podcast with host Michael Rosenbaum.
Hoult appeared on the “Inside of You” podcast a few weeks before filming got underway on James Gunn’s “Superman.” He still had a head of hair at the time and confirmed he would be going bald to play Lex. The actor told Rosenbaum that he was also working out to play Lex, although a muscular version of the Superman villain might not be what comes to mind for fans. Gunn’s “Superman” is set for a release on July 11, 2025 from Warner Bros. Watch Hoult’s full conversation on the “Inside of You” podcast in the video below.
