Other contenders and Lex Luthor

Other alleged contenders are Euphoriastar Jacob Elordi and British actors Andrew Richardson (To call a spy) to Tom Brittney (grantchester). However, sources from the equally respectable Deadline cite Nicholas Hoult (The menu) as the main contender. Hoult, 33, is by far the biggest and most famous name on the list. However, The Hollywood Reporter claims that Hoult is definitely a Warner Bros. favorite but not for the role of Superman. The magazine claims that Hoult is in the running to play Superman’s nemesis Lex Luthor. He was previously in the running for the role of Batman.

Can you imagine it already? David Corenswet with Nicholas Hoult, as the new Henry Cavill and Jesse Eisenberg. A fresh, young, new start to the DC movies. Of course, that also includes a new Lois Lane, to complete the classic look from the comics. The Hollywood Reporter writes that Sex education-star Emma Mackey, Rachel Brosnahan (Wonderful Mrs. Maisel)Samara Weaving (scream 6) by Phoebe Dynevor (Bridgerton) are in the running for that role. In contrast to the search for the new Superman, in the case of Lois Lane, according to the magazine, it is not yet clear who is the big favorite. Brosnahan reportedly had “excellent” hearing, but at 32 he falls out, according to insiders outside the “20-year-old” age range, which Gunn is reportedly looking for.
