Check out Nicholas Hoult Lex Luthor fan art as the actor has been cast in James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy movie starring David Corenswet as the new Man of Steel, with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane.
Isabela Merced is also playing Hawkgirl, with Edi Gathegi playing Mister Terrific.

President of the United States? Battlesuit?
Rumors are already flying that Nicholas Hoult will be playing Lex Luthor either as the president of the United States or that Lex will be running for office.
It will be interesting to see what James Gunn does with the role. Gunn got into trouble with the right-wingers while at Marvel, which saw him fired and then rehired by Disney. It’s already said his DCU will be a political commentary on present times. Bear in mind Wonder Woman 1984 also went that route and turned out to be a complete disaster.
Also, check out cool Nicholas Hoult Lex Luthor fan art with the Battle Suit. Rumors also offer that Lex is involved in those Middle East terrorist plot details that Gunn shot down, which is also said to involve Kryptonian technology. Maybe Hoult will sport a cool suit which makes him become a hero in the eyes of the people and he wins the election?
What’s interesting is that Marvel might also be doing something with Harrison Ford’s Thaddeus Ross in Captain America: Brave New World which will be released a few months before Superman: Legacy. It’s also guessed Ford’s Ross will become the Red Hulk.
Marvel is a huge mess right now, so what better time for Gunn and DC to take over?
Superman: Legacy is described as telling the story of Superman’s journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.
