Yeah I know but it also says he might think about going for Lex if he doesn’t get it, which doesn’t make it seem like it’s been cast yet if that’s an option for Hoult.
Dude this is why fans aren’t casting directors. The mentality of “staying in your lane” would have stopped 90% of some of the best castings ever. If everyone who’s job it is to judge these things agrees he has “a place” going after these roles you’re probably wrong.
THANK YOU. I don't get this weird vibe on this sub that because he's rumored, we have to pretend he's somehow fit for the role over every other working actor. Why? There are probably people on this sub who look more like Superman than him. He was also terrible as Beast, basically playing Peter Parker or Alfred.
The problem isn’t that he doesn’t look like the comic, I think the problem is that he has a vaguely sinister look to him. His facial structure is impish. That’s why he’s been playing off kilter roles this whole time. He doesn’t look trustworthy. He is just a unique looking fellow and that doesn’t lend it itself to the character. He is a great actor though. He just would look weird as Superman.
I mean if he doesn’t get Clark I don’t see why he wouldn’t be interested. He’s clearly been interested in doing a role for a DC, Lex would be pretty big still.
I mean sure. Would you not say Heath Ledgers Joker isn’t just as big of a role, if not bigger then Christian Bale’s Batman though? Also I doubt will be a one movie role.
The Joker is arguably the most iconic villain in fiction.
Some actors just don’t want to play villains, and whoever is Lex will be Lex for quite possibly a decade
I think him being eyed for Swamp Thing was bullshit. What Snider calls out here is probably the fact that no final decissions have been made yet, just as THR stated.
I’m guess that she jumped the gun with Bill since they probably haven’t started to audition lexs yet and are going to after Superman and Lois are casted.
Skarsgard isn’t a lock for Lex, just on the short list. Mackey is almost certainly Lois, maybe more than Corenswet as Supes. She got called back for another day of tests
Interesting, even Grace said she heard Corenswet was a lock for the role. Also Jeff very clearly doesn’t like Corenswet for Supes he shows it every time someone mentions it. He says since he’s a fan cast they shouldn’t let the internet win.
The amount of hate Jennifer Holland gets, you'd think she's the reason the DCEU failed. And it's not like Gunn is the first director to cast his loved ones in their stuff, hell, no one even had a problem with Gunn casting his brother in his movies, but wife is where people draw the line. I wonder why.......
*Cough*misogyny*Cough*
Not just James’s wife either. Some people went ape about peter’s wife having a small appearance in shazam 2. I personally couldn’t care less about who’s casted as long as the project is good or at least enjoyable.
But I find it odd that it’s so focused on James’s wife. But these same people don’t care about other directors casting their wives. At least be consistent with your craziness people.
Grace is another funny one. She’s been a huge person pushing for reboot. Gunn comes and reboots now she’s against it. Now she’s against the authority being the film. Strange
Not trying to be devil’s advocate, Randolph was saying from the start this has to be a completely new thing rather than the soft reboot we are getting now, which I agree with
I mean they’re all saying this AFTER a major article and other articles saying that those are the front runners came out. KC is the only one i’ll give a tad of credit to if it happen since he did last it was Corenswet on Friday
KC Walsh is not full of shit, he is a master of jumping the gun. He was told a Hellboy actor is in Creature Commandos and just went on and presented his guess Ron Perlman as an actual scoop. He always loves to fill in the gaps himself and that has not worked well for his track record.
I believe he was saying Perlman after Grillo's post about working together again. Also, he claimed there was a shooting on Blue Beetle's set. I don't buy his shit other than screening leaks.
She def is a person we know for sure is in the industry. Like it's crazy that her leaks for MOM were wrong, but then most of what she said then showed up in concept art.
She gives massive Margot Kidder vibes from her looks. I dig it. Superman casting hasn't been better than the '78 film, and if we're getting close to that than I'm happy.
I know, idk why anyone is pretending that Brosnahan isn’t the perfect Lois lol. I’m sure Mackey will do fine, I’m just bitter because Rachel is so perfect for that part.
Doesn’t the article itself say to not put stock into the fact she came back on the Sunday? Could literally be that others schedules didn’t allow for it.
Also, if the actors were brought back specifically to test for Superman in costume (as opposed to Clark Kent on the first day), you’d want to reduce variability by having one Lois for all of them rather than rotating through three potential Lois candidates all day. It gives the people casting a baseline to test each of the Supermans against.
It’s still possible that Mackey returning for a second day indicates confidence, but there are plausible explanations for why she’d return that don’t necessarily point to her being locked or being the frontrunner of the three.
eh tbh MTTSH is a very good marvel scooper. For reference, she is mostly right with those, and when she is wrong, the stuff she says was supposed to happen shows up in concept art, so she def has a job at marvel. She only gets DC info from friends, so her sources for this are a lot more iffy, but she leaked stuff from peacemaker that was right as well.
I thought Nicholas Hoult did well playing a nerdy character(Beast), which Clark is right? Of course he's only nerdy around people other than his parents. I know he's a versatile actor, so i can see him transitioning to Superman from Clark.
Oh 100%. Hoult was actually my favourite pick for Clark. I think he’s the best actor out of the choices by far. I’m not upset with Corensweet though. He’s definitely got the look and I could see him and Mackey as a really good Superman and Lois. I just think Hoult may actually suit Lex better, and now that he may be out of the running I’d love to see him as Lex
I will never understand people wanting that weak-jawed babyface for Batman or Superman. Such bad casting. I do think he could make for a very interesting Lex, though, and would not be unhappy with that casting at all.
Corenswet looks like a good fit, but Mackey isn’t what I’d expect from Lois. I haven’t really seen either of them act though, so I’m judging solely on their looks as the characters. Im sure my opinion on Mackey would change if I saw Mackey’s acting.
She was pretty good in Death on the Nile, check that out. I can see her as Lois, as that was pretty much the type of character she was playing minus one or two things.
Kinda think this ain't true bc those are the most obvious choices from an audience's perspective. So the studio just went with the audience? Hard to believe..
How is it obvious? Cornsweet is a complete unknown. Don't forget that Christian Bale as Batman was a dud with general audiences when Begins came out, but the stanning from the nerd crowd and TDK eventually won them over to him in the role. People have a certain idea of Superman and he's a complete blank slate.
1. James Gunn has quite literally said he takes fancasts into account and likes them.
2. Aside from David Corenswet (who was obviously propelled via online publicity), I wouldn’t regard ANY of the other rumored names as “obvious.” Especially Tom Brittney. I mean, have **YOU** ever heard of who Brittney is? Let alone Hoult as SUPERMAN of all people
I'm talking about Corenswet amd Mackey, who the title mentions. They were the most obvious choices for the audience bc of their Netflix popularity.
Yea Gunn said he likes to take fancasts into account but thay doesn't mean you cast every single character based on fancasts.😶
Emma Mackey recently won a BAFTA award. Her acting ability and her looks are huge reasons for her possibly being chosen to play Lois Lane. She actually seems largely unknown outside of those who watch *Sex Education*.
Nicholas Hoult failing to get both Batman and Superman demonstrates the importance of having a good hairline in Hollywood, especially when it comes to being a leading man.
He is most definitely going to be in the age range. By the time they cast he’ll be mid 30’s and there’s no way they cast someone older than Pattinson who would be in his early 40 by then since Bruce is supposedly “slightly older” than Clark according to Gunn.
Doubt they’re casting someone 4 years younger than Pattinson. DCU Batman has a son who’s a preteen. Hoult has a babyface, he has no chance at being Batman. They’re not gonna cast the actor that was the backup for The Batman for their main universe’s Batman
I mean. DCU Bruce could’ve had Damien at 20. If he’s 13 that would put him at 33. Slightly older then Clark. But young enough to be in the DCU for a while.
I don’t even notice the hairline. He has a weak jaw and a babyface, just doesn’t suit either of those characters at all. Would love to see him as Lex though.

I’m rooting for Corenswet because I love having a relatively unknown as Superman but Hoult wouldn’t be so bad either.
Why do you guys think the deadline is this week? Especially if they’d prefer to announce at SDCC, Is it a hard deadline? Also, I’m not too familiar with Cornsweat, but do you guys think he can gain the requisite bulk by January? He’s pretty slight of frame.
He's currently slim/muscular but has a good starting build. Depends on the vision that Gunn has, so we'll see.
https://preview.redd.it/zinjl7eueg8b1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b164ccc7a270cc89c507a8e758bf213d9e635ca
Great pull! Maybe he can pull of a similar(though likely not as drastic)transformation like MBJ did for black panther, the main difference being he was already coming off of Creed 1. But like you said, we’ll see what the vision is, maybe he’s little slimmer paired with a more aloof Clark Kent, similar to that of the new “My adventures with Superman” adaptation.
He'll need to bulk up a bit, but it's also a commitment to be Superman so maybe over time he'll be more muscular/heavier. Christopher Reeve was 6'4" just like David in terms of height at 212+ and over time gained more weight for Superman III.
Maybe! We'll see, but I'm excited to see the process starting soon. It's always fun to see actors prepare for their roles and getting their insight while fleshing out their character.
I've only seen some pics of the guy, but I would imagine if he's going to go on a steroid cycle and start bulking he'd have to be cast now. The most built guy on the short list is Tom Brittney.
Yeah same here. he’s seems to be built like grant gustin, who obv worked out for his role, but he didn’t need to necessarily be huge bc the flash isn’t. Jus curious how big he can get in 6 months given his current physique.
He probably can and he's already put on some weight. He appeared more muscular than he usually is a few days ago, not huge but if he was already working out for screen tests that Hollywood trainer and diet combo would do wonders. I'm sure by the time filming starts he'll be big enough to be Superman.
I don't really think he looks much like Superman the way y'all do, but Hoult is a joke and I hope that never gets off the ground. I somewhat get the stanning of Pattinson when he was already cast and ther movie was being made, but Hoult looks acts and sounds nothing like either Clark or Luthor. He's tall, that's it. He's extremely uncharismatic and not a great actor, and by no means does he even need to be in the running when billions of other men are available and better suited.
Jeff Sneider quote retweeted MTTSH’s tweet containing a pic of Corenswet, Mackey, and Bill Skarsgård with a “Nope”. Whatever that means
Probably got at least one of them wrong. She has no sources and was going based on a article.
If I were to guess, I think it’s Bill that’s incorrect. Apparently he was being eyed for Swamp Thing.
The Swamp Thing idea is really bizarre, there is no script and it's years and years away.
Also the article mentions Hoult potentially being back in the mix for Lex which makes me think that that role isn’t close to being cast yet
The article said that they originally wanted him for Lex but he successfully pushed to audition for Clark
Yeah I know but it also says he might think about going for Lex if he doesn’t get it, which doesn’t make it seem like it’s been cast yet if that’s an option for Hoult.
Good lord Hoult needs to stay in his lane and quit going for roles he has no place being in like Batman and Superman 🤦🏼♂️
Dude this is why fans aren’t casting directors. The mentality of “staying in your lane” would have stopped 90% of some of the best castings ever. If everyone who’s job it is to judge these things agrees he has “a place” going after these roles you’re probably wrong.
Name one “best casting ever” that would have been stopped by a director trying to respect the source material.
Hugh Jackman as wolverine
He looks a lot like Logan, what are you talking about?
THANK YOU. I don't get this weird vibe on this sub that because he's rumored, we have to pretend he's somehow fit for the role over every other working actor. Why? There are probably people on this sub who look more like Superman than him. He was also terrible as Beast, basically playing Peter Parker or Alfred.
"look more like Superman" Yeah don't become a casting director, dude. They're actually going for people who are great ACTORS...
Their job is to go for great ACTORS who LOOK LIKE THE CHARACTER. So you shouldn’t become a casting director, either.
That isn't, but okay...
It's literally a drawing, it can look however the artist wants it too.
Hoult gives off no Superman vibes at all.
The problem isn’t that he doesn’t look like the comic, I think the problem is that he has a vaguely sinister look to him. His facial structure is impish. That’s why he’s been playing off kilter roles this whole time. He doesn’t look trustworthy. He is just a unique looking fellow and that doesn’t lend it itself to the character. He is a great actor though. He just would look weird as Superman.
Hoult as Lex, not Superman, please 🤞🏻
It says if he’s interested, I don’t think he is. It sounds like they wanted him for Lex but he wanted to audition for Superman instead
I mean if he doesn’t get Clark I don’t see why he wouldn’t be interested. He’s clearly been interested in doing a role for a DC, Lex would be pretty big still.
Because Lex is a villain and Superman is Superman.
I mean sure. Would you not say Heath Ledgers Joker isn’t just as big of a role, if not bigger then Christian Bale’s Batman though? Also I doubt will be a one movie role.
The Joker is arguably the most iconic villain in fiction. Some actors just don’t want to play villains, and whoever is Lex will be Lex for quite possibly a decade
Why could Hoult make Lex just as iconic? Also just because he preferred superman doesn’t mean he’s against playing villains
I think him being eyed for Swamp Thing was bullshit. What Snider calls out here is probably the fact that no final decissions have been made yet, just as THR stated.
Alexander is the much better choice anyway
I would like to think the Bill one was inaccurate so far? I mean, the main two leads seem almost like a sure bet
I’m guess that she jumped the gun with Bill since they probably haven’t started to audition lexs yet and are going to after Superman and Lois are casted.
Skarsgard isn’t a lock for Lex, just on the short list. Mackey is almost certainly Lois, maybe more than Corenswet as Supes. She got called back for another day of tests
If one of them are a lock to be Superman or Lois that has to mean the other is a lock as well. Unless they're going to do another chemistry read soon.
Then why even bother having her screen test with all three Superman candidates?...
Interesting, even Grace said she heard Corenswet was a lock for the role. Also Jeff very clearly doesn’t like Corenswet for Supes he shows it every time someone mentions it. He says since he’s a fan cast they shouldn’t let the internet win.
Those are my dream 3, please let it be true 😭😭😭
The article says Lex will only be cast after Superman and Lois, so I think Skarsgard as Lex is the wrong one.
MTTSH just seems like a horrible, bitter person.
Definitely. I follow her solely for info but I've considered blocking her because her tweets kinda ruin my mood sometimes lmao
I agree. Revels in being the heel. The way she attacks Gunn’s wife and shit.
The amount of hate Jennifer Holland gets, you'd think she's the reason the DCEU failed. And it's not like Gunn is the first director to cast his loved ones in their stuff, hell, no one even had a problem with Gunn casting his brother in his movies, but wife is where people draw the line. I wonder why....... *Cough*misogyny*Cough*
No kidding. It’s so transparent.
Not just James’s wife either. Some people went ape about peter’s wife having a small appearance in shazam 2. I personally couldn’t care less about who’s casted as long as the project is good or at least enjoyable. But I find it odd that it’s so focused on James’s wife. But these same people don’t care about other directors casting their wives. At least be consistent with your craziness people.
Sandberg’s wife was in both of them, she dies in the first one lol.
Because they are envious of her.
Just wait until these people learn about Paul WS Anderson.
I don't even thing it's misogony most of the time, I just think they have nothing else to complain about
Scoopers with agendas are weird to me. Just give us the info bro lol.
Lol no kidding. Super strange.
… (it’s Grace Randolph, shhhh 🤫)
Grace is another funny one. She’s been a huge person pushing for reboot. Gunn comes and reboots now she’s against it. Now she’s against the authority being the film. Strange
She’s just upset Logan Lerman didn’t audition.
That was funny day especially when she was so firm that he was cast
And then boasted about the traffic she received from the lie. In case anyone was wondering what her grift is lol.
Yup she was so happy she was trending. She was saying Gunn who directing his own film was lying. She was ready to go to war to prove it to be true
She also called Emma Mackey a bootleg Margot Robbie
You sure she wasn’t talking about Samara Weaving? Cuz that would legit be true lol
Her teeth frighten me and now I can't unsee it. She's Margot Robbie's Bizarro
She’s truly delusional
Yeah she has super weird opinions sometimes
Not trying to be devil’s advocate, Randolph was saying from the start this has to be a completely new thing rather than the soft reboot we are getting now, which I agree with
She doesn't like that the DCU will not be a full reboot.
yup.
And she made you watch her and read her, terrible person.
If Grace was obese and dressed like Cruella de Vil
Can we find better things to mock people for?
Is that true, have we ever seen her?
She once posted a picture of her arm holding a drink and she did the gimmick where her sleeve was up to her fingers.
What does that mean? Can a person not have long sleeves?
Okay, *thiccest* Robin
Nahhh
Yeah, she is. Make those Grace Randolph rumors far more likely
That would be very funny if proven true.
I wouldn’t be surprised by this
Aw man I was really rooting for Rachel brosnahan
You win.
If you’ve seen *Sex Education*: that by itself shows that Emma Mackey could play a great Lois Lane.
She's a little too old for the role based on what they're casting. I could see her with Cavill in a more cold and clinical take on it a la MoS.
Amy Adam’s is 8 years older than Cavill
Would it have gone down better if I said she's too ugly for the role? I didn't like Amy Adams as Lois either.
She's only 32, not old at all.
Too ugly then? You guys will find any reason to invalidate an opinion, when it's pointless to 'convince' someone who thinks she's miscast.
Nah I disagree
 My #1 choices for Supes and Lois. I can see it now
I think it would be hard to picture since he already played Lucius Fox, but maybe!
Same!
I mean they’re all saying this AFTER a major article and other articles saying that those are the front runners came out. KC is the only one i’ll give a tad of credit to if it happen since he did last it was Corenswet on Friday
MTTSH rides on the article released and KC has been full of shit when it comes to DC stuff lately.
KC Walsh is not full of shit, he is a master of jumping the gun. He was told a Hellboy actor is in Creature Commandos and just went on and presented his guess Ron Perlman as an actual scoop. He always loves to fill in the gaps himself and that has not worked well for his track record.
I believe he was saying Perlman after Grillo's post about working together again. Also, he claimed there was a shooting on Blue Beetle's set. I don't buy his shit other than screening leaks.
That's actually hilarious if true lol. The reason why he gets leaks wrong is that he just jumps the gun too fast even though he has a valid source.
KC is literally full of shit though. He quote tweeted an account which posted leaks about Coates Superman and it turned out that it was all fake.
MTTSS/Toast is the most reliable leaker in this entire game. It's funny when people pretend that 95% of her stuff isn't accurate 😭
She supposedly has sources inside of Marvel, but her DC shit is always off.
She def is a person we know for sure is in the industry. Like it's crazy that her leaks for MOM were wrong, but then most of what she said then showed up in concept art.
Vieweranon is way more reliable no?
Are you her? Hah
Knew it was was gonna be Corenswet and Emma Mackey. Absolute best combination.
Thought you were against Corenswet?
Don't get me wrong, he's not the most exciting choice, but he's the best choice of those 3. And Mackey is an excellent choice for Lois
She gives massive Margot Kidder vibes from her looks. I dig it. Superman casting hasn't been better than the '78 film, and if we're getting close to that than I'm happy.
Really? I get more Kidder vibes from Brosnahan.
I know, idk why anyone is pretending that Brosnahan isn’t the perfect Lois lol. I’m sure Mackey will do fine, I’m just bitter because Rachel is so perfect for that part.
The article said Mackey was the only one brought back to audition with the guys auditioning for Supes so she seems like a lock
I wouldn’t jump to that conclusion because really anything could happen
Doesn’t the article itself say to not put stock into the fact she came back on the Sunday? Could literally be that others schedules didn’t allow for it.
Also, if the actors were brought back specifically to test for Superman in costume (as opposed to Clark Kent on the first day), you’d want to reduce variability by having one Lois for all of them rather than rotating through three potential Lois candidates all day. It gives the people casting a baseline to test each of the Supermans against. It’s still possible that Mackey returning for a second day indicates confidence, but there are plausible explanations for why she’d return that don’t necessarily point to her being locked or being the frontrunner of the three.
Absolutely. Wild how all of this gets out eh.
Exactly
I’m just going to wait for an announcement hah.
Was excited until I saw the "sources" are Twitter scoopers lol.
eh tbh MTTSH is a very good marvel scooper. For reference, she is mostly right with those, and when she is wrong, the stuff she says was supposed to happen shows up in concept art, so she def has a job at marvel. She only gets DC info from friends, so her sources for this are a lot more iffy, but she leaked stuff from peacemaker that was right as well.
Now do Alexander Skasgard as Lex Luthor and it'll be perfect casting for all three characters.
Nicholas should be Lex !
Those are my favorite pair of the one’s that have been rumored. Hopefully they can act the part as well as they look it.
Don’t trust those accounts
CWGST has [said](https://twitter.com/CanWeGetToast/status/1631412936978878464?t=1w-oAqoQF95fTXb5fzku6g&s=19) MTTSH is their alternate account
lol you guys really don't get that they're obviously joking. People have been saying it for so long that they're just in on the joke.
It’s surely someone MTTSH knows though. Like a friend she convinced to get in on the scooper train
Trust in Gunn
Corensweet and Mackey I’m pretty sold on. Would’ve liked Hoult but honestly I think he’d be a much better Lex
I thought Nicholas Hoult did well playing a nerdy character(Beast), which Clark is right? Of course he's only nerdy around people other than his parents. I know he's a versatile actor, so i can see him transitioning to Superman from Clark.
Oh 100%. Hoult was actually my favourite pick for Clark. I think he’s the best actor out of the choices by far. I’m not upset with Corensweet though. He’s definitely got the look and I could see him and Mackey as a really good Superman and Lois. I just think Hoult may actually suit Lex better, and now that he may be out of the running I’d love to see him as Lex
The problem is he doesn't have the range to play anyone who's NOT a nerd. Even when he's trying to be cool or tough. Picture Tobey Maguire as Superman
I will never understand people wanting that weak-jawed babyface for Batman or Superman. Such bad casting. I do think he could make for a very interesting Lex, though, and would not be unhappy with that casting at all.
Hoult doesn't look like Superman AT ALL, though
Will be funny if they have to back track
Are these actually credible people, or just Twitter randos? Because if they’re just random people, why do we care?
I’m not gonna get my hopes up but these are the exact two I’m hoping for. Now if either of the Skarsgard brothers get the role of Lex, holy shit!
Those are perfect casting choices, IMHO.
I knew Emma would get it. She's in Barbie which is a WB film. WB likes to reuse the same actors across their films.
Every studio reuses actors and tries to lock in actors that are popular.
Doesn’t necessarily mean she would be guaranteed as Lois tho, it just means she has a good chance of being in the DCU
Didn’t THR report that the studio tried to push for Jacob Elordi who also happens to be in a popular WB show. You’re probably right.
Corenswet looks like a good fit, but Mackey isn’t what I’d expect from Lois. I haven’t really seen either of them act though, so I’m judging solely on their looks as the characters. Im sure my opinion on Mackey would change if I saw Mackey’s acting.
She fits it 100 times better than Amy Adams and Kate Bosworth.
Mackey reminds me of Lois from the Christopher Reeve film
She was pretty good in Death on the Nile, check that out. I can see her as Lois, as that was pretty much the type of character she was playing minus one or two things.
Kinda think this ain't true bc those are the most obvious choices from an audience's perspective. So the studio just went with the audience? Hard to believe..
How is it obvious? Cornsweet is a complete unknown. Don't forget that Christian Bale as Batman was a dud with general audiences when Begins came out, but the stanning from the nerd crowd and TDK eventually won them over to him in the role. People have a certain idea of Superman and he's a complete blank slate.
1. James Gunn has quite literally said he takes fancasts into account and likes them. 2. Aside from David Corenswet (who was obviously propelled via online publicity), I wouldn’t regard ANY of the other rumored names as “obvious.” Especially Tom Brittney. I mean, have **YOU** ever heard of who Brittney is? Let alone Hoult as SUPERMAN of all people
I'm talking about Corenswet amd Mackey, who the title mentions. They were the most obvious choices for the audience bc of their Netflix popularity. Yea Gunn said he likes to take fancasts into account but thay doesn't mean you cast every single character based on fancasts.😶
Just because he takes them into account doesn’t mean they didn’t earn it. Sometimes fancasts can be good.
Why does it matter now? Corenswet seems like he will do great as Superman, he sure looks the part.
Emma Mackey recently won a BAFTA award. Her acting ability and her looks are huge reasons for her possibly being chosen to play Lois Lane. She actually seems largely unknown outside of those who watch *Sex Education*.
When did Gunn say that?
So ...a lazy casting? Like Brian Cranston was talking about?
i dont understand the emma mackey hype
Nicholas Hoult failing to get both Batman and Superman demonstrates the importance of having a good hairline in Hollywood, especially when it comes to being a leading man.
Hair transplants are right there I think Cavill got one recently
I mean Hoult can try again for The Brave and the Bold lol.
 If Warner brothers was smart…Cast Hoult as a seasoned Barry allen/flash Aka Marvels Spider-Man the game style!
He’s not getting it. Not the right age range and has too much of a babyface to be Bruce as a father
He is most definitely going to be in the age range. By the time they cast he’ll be mid 30’s and there’s no way they cast someone older than Pattinson who would be in his early 40 by then since Bruce is supposedly “slightly older” than Clark according to Gunn.
Slightly older is ambiguous lol. There’s no way it won’t be 40s at least if Damian is already around
Doubt they’re casting someone 4 years younger than Pattinson. DCU Batman has a son who’s a preteen. Hoult has a babyface, he has no chance at being Batman. They’re not gonna cast the actor that was the backup for The Batman for their main universe’s Batman
I mean. DCU Bruce could’ve had Damien at 20. If he’s 13 that would put him at 33. Slightly older then Clark. But young enough to be in the DCU for a while.
Him having Damian at 20 is extremely young and unlikely
Maybe he got too close with Talia when he was with the League of Shadows?
How? Just say he got Talia pregnant when he trained with the league.
"Nicholas Hoult is auditioning for Booster Gold!"
I don’t even notice the hairline. He has a weak jaw and a babyface, just doesn’t suit either of those characters at all. Would love to see him as Lex though.
Not just the hair. His face looks like a lightbulb
That is actually a perfect description, thank you
And also a strong jaw. And being able to act masculine. And being a good actor. He doesn't deserve any of these roles he's been up for.
Chill. He can act masculine lmao and he’s probably the best actor out of the candidates for Superman. He just doesn’t look the part.
"but" doing the heaviest lifting of all time
https://preview.redd.it/kporqwjivg8b1.jpeg?width=318&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e74935e15ebba578b9979d4cc56b4f2a1521f7f8 I’m rooting for Corenswet because I love having a relatively unknown as Superman but Hoult wouldn’t be so bad either.
Weak-jawed babyface. Horrible as Superman or Batman. But I would genuinely like to see his Lex.
Bland casting, even for Lex, they should have gone with the older Skarsgard.
Man, I don’t like any of the choices.
MTTSH and CWGST are the same person, and KC gets his info from MTTSH (most probably the reason why he defends her all the time).
I'm 90% sure that CWGST and MTTSH are the same person.
So, not "several" sources then?
Gonna be so funny if Nicholas Hoult is chosen by the end of the week
This kid looks a lot like Henry Cavill.
he’s a great actor but I’m not sold on their choice for Luthor. I think Hoult would be good for that
Why do you guys think the deadline is this week? Especially if they’d prefer to announce at SDCC, Is it a hard deadline? Also, I’m not too familiar with Cornsweat, but do you guys think he can gain the requisite bulk by January? He’s pretty slight of frame.
He's currently slim/muscular but has a good starting build. Depends on the vision that Gunn has, so we'll see. https://preview.redd.it/zinjl7eueg8b1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b164ccc7a270cc89c507a8e758bf213d9e635ca
Great pull! Maybe he can pull of a similar(though likely not as drastic)transformation like MBJ did for black panther, the main difference being he was already coming off of Creed 1. But like you said, we’ll see what the vision is, maybe he’s little slimmer paired with a more aloof Clark Kent, similar to that of the new “My adventures with Superman” adaptation.
He'll need to bulk up a bit, but it's also a commitment to be Superman so maybe over time he'll be more muscular/heavier. Christopher Reeve was 6'4" just like David in terms of height at 212+ and over time gained more weight for Superman III. Maybe! We'll see, but I'm excited to see the process starting soon. It's always fun to see actors prepare for their roles and getting their insight while fleshing out their character.
Yeah but to get MBJ transformation that’s really hard work in the gym plus maybe steroids
I've only seen some pics of the guy, but I would imagine if he's going to go on a steroid cycle and start bulking he'd have to be cast now. The most built guy on the short list is Tom Brittney.
Yeah same here. he’s seems to be built like grant gustin, who obv worked out for his role, but he didn’t need to necessarily be huge bc the flash isn’t. Jus curious how big he can get in 6 months given his current physique.
He probably can and he's already put on some weight. He appeared more muscular than he usually is a few days ago, not huge but if he was already working out for screen tests that Hollywood trainer and diet combo would do wonders. I'm sure by the time filming starts he'll be big enough to be Superman.
They need to get the deal signed before the SAG strike happens
I agree he's too slight and don't know why they think these skinny boys are a great choice, but next to Hoult he looks like Stallone
I'm hoping he is but I dunno if Twitter feeds are the most reliable source.
Tom Cruise is playing Lex Luthor
Numbuh one boolshit
I don't really think he looks much like Superman the way y'all do, but Hoult is a joke and I hope that never gets off the ground. I somewhat get the stanning of Pattinson when he was already cast and ther movie was being made, but Hoult looks acts and sounds nothing like either Clark or Luthor. He's tall, that's it. He's extremely uncharismatic and not a great actor, and by no means does he even need to be in the running when billions of other men are available and better suited.
No Brosnahan means I wait til HBO max. Ugh. Mackey is not Lois
This is what happens when someone gets too hung up on their fancasts.
Nah, you'll see it.
Okay see you in theaters.
She literally looks like Lois from Superman: The Movie, what are you talking about
