Nicholas Hoult On Auditioning Against David Corenswet For Superman: “Very Awkward”
Although Nicholas Hoult is entering his onscreen villain era, the 'Superman' star was up for the title role as the Man of Steel.
Ahead of the July 11 premiere, Hoult and co-star David Corenswet recalled meeting each other when they auditioned “on the same day” to play Clark Kent in the James Gunn-helmed DCU blockbuster. Corenswet admitted he “admired Nick as an actor for a long time,” recalling, “And to get to meet him in this context, both dressed as Clark Kent … a bit weird, hanging from wires and reading this scene.” “And then the day that I found out that he had agreed to play Lex Luthor, I thought, ‘This may be the best thing that happens to this film, because a superhero is only as interesting as their villain.’ And I knew Nick was going to bring something really special.”
