Nicholas Hoult may be joining the DC Universe as Lex Luthor soon, but the actor could have entered much sooner as Batman. Sadly, he found out he wasn’t getting the part in a truly soul-crushing way.
He “never submitted himself into the ring,” sources told The Hollywood Reporter. David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult are confirmed to play Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Lex Luthor.
