I love how DC is getting all the castings right

[kylechristine]

Nicholas Hoult seems to be a good choice for this villain. He seems like he will do a better job as Lex then Jesse Eisenberg did in the DCEU. Hoult has some superhero experience with the X-Men as Beast. And let's see him bald throughout however long screentime he gets.

[andreterrell]

Good choice! He's going to be a good Lex Luthor.

[brucelau]

Truly a Perfect casting, and a great great role for Nicholas Hoult, because he was rumored to play a Batman & Superman for the DCU, I’m glad the Warner brothers remember his name, and he’s going to be playing Lex Luthor in superman legacy

[BaithNa]

He'll be great but I hope he bulks up a little because we need an imposing Lex after what Snyder did to the character.

[anasnadeemashraf]

He is not the only villian. The engineer has been cast as well.

[thewolfx]

Finally a casting that makes sense.
Unlike sentry

[miguelbrymn]

Okay, it'd be kinda funny if they actually made a movie with Nicholas Hoult as Luthor and Nicholas Cage as Superman, since both their names are Nicholas, and they’ve been in a movie together (Renfield).

[DCUniverseFanboy]

don't forget to talk about the penguin resuming filming NEXT WEEK! SO EXCITED!

[jordanaguero]

I had Antony Starr as Lex Luthor but this is a good casting choice! I hope Superman legacy saves the DC brand and redeems the Superman character on the Big Screen. 💯

[firstlast]

*This movie has not once* missed on casting.. I don’t get people — we spent a decade waiting for DC to adapt their best characters - a guy comes along with a PERFECT track record of movies.. offers to just be true to the source material and people say “Nah he’s not proven himself” 😑

[MarkGuerrero-czbh]

Personally prefer a Lex a bit older than Clark but if we are getting a younger Lex, I can 100% see this

Good choice

[IllisiaAdams]

I frakking love this actor. Every film I have seen him in, I have given between 8-10 stars! His best performance to date is still Warm Bodies hehe

[costa]

Guys im gonna get some hate but for me gunn cooks a lot better with the casting than snyder honestly (the only cast that i liked from snyder was batman and superman)

[BrotherofthethCompany]

I already like this casting more than Jesse Eisenberg.

[EverydayWithBobby]

That’s a dope choice. I think he’ll be better as Lex than Beast. DC making a comeback with the castings 👀😂

[robd]

This is some great casting, Hoult will be fantastic as Lex

[rodolfoabarca]

AWESOME!!! YOUNG BEAST BECOMES LEX LUTHOR!!!

[dayneinsayne]

Bro made it to the Superman screen test and Gunn handed him some clippers and a razor.

[dom]

Can’t wait, I’m just wondering how all these castings gonna play in one movie. Interesting to see
