Steering the ship of the DC Universe was a task without Henry Cavill, but James Gunn was ready to place his bets. Having been resolute in taking forward the story of Superman with David Corenswet, major contentions, and criticism have flown Gunn’s way for his and Peter Safran’s re-imagination of the comic book live-action adaptation. But with each passing day, as the gap diminishes between his plans and turning them into reality, the anticipation skyrockets with glowing reviews from Nicholas Hoult. 

Despite the apprehension surrounding the project, Hoult’s praise for Gunn and Corenswet is a cue for fans to fasten their seatbelts and buckle up for a super ride.

The first trailer of James Gunn’s Superman starring David Corenswet is inching closer every day, and meanwhile, comes a flurry of teasers from A-listers to keep up the hype. Amidst the comic geeks’ enthusiasm for the new Clark Kent and Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult, who plays Superman’s arch-nemesis Lex Luthor, gave five-star feedback to Gunn, Corenswet, and Rachel Brosnahan. In a recent conversation with Entertainment Tonight at Nosferatu’s premiere, Hoult teased the flick’s potential, stressing a “lot of great components.”

Calling Gunn a “wonderful director, and writer, and creator,” Hoult revved up the excitement, opening up about Corenswet’s inherent brilliance in slipping in the super suit. At the same time, he got the ball rolling for Brosnahan over her fresh take on Lois Lane. While fans had already met halfway with Superman from early reviews, Amy Adams extended good wishes to Brosnahan for playing the new Lois. Now, with Hoult fanning the flames for the super trio, fans expect nothing less than the unexpected.
