Hoult and Corenswet are starring in one of the summer's most hyped movies, James Gunn's Superman. The film also stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, and Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl. The film serves as the first film in the new DCU, which Gunn is helming.

He’s a great actor. I mean, some might say he’s better than David in certain ways, but he just didn’t fit the role, and that’s why he didn’t get that,” the director said of Hoult, who plays Lex Luthor in the new movie.
