He doesn't owe you something because you like his movie. I mean, you like his movie because of Matt. So let Matt do things the way he does.
'
Gunn added further, 'I am irritated by people. I mean, it's just that thing people don't need to be entitled about. It's going to come out when he feels good about the screenplay. And Matt's not going to give me the screenplay until he feels good about the screenplay.'

Meet the only actor with net worth of $10 million who almost played Batman instead of Robert Pattinson
When Ben Affleck stepped away from the cowl, Warner Bros. launched a quiet but focused search for his replacement. 'Nosferatu' actor Nicholas Hoult and 'Twilight' actor Robert Pattinson emerged as the top contenders. Both actors reportedly screen-tested in Burbank, California, wearing the classic Val Kilmer Batsuit from 'Batman Forever'. It was a close race—but Pattinson ultimately won the role, which went public in May 2019. In a twist that feels straight out of a film itself, Hoult had revealed in an earlier interview that he found out about Pattinson's likely casting on the radio—just days before his own audition. 'It's not confirmed yet! I'm auditioning next weekend. Like, give me a chance.' While missing out on Batman might have stung, Hoult has since praised Pattinson's performance and the film's overall tone. 'I don't think I would have done as good a job as him,' he admitted in an interview. But don't count him out of the DC universe just yet—Hoult will soon step into the villain spotlight as Lex Luthor in 'Superman: Legacy', directed by James Gunn. What is the funny thing here? Here as well, Nicholas had auditioned for the role of Clark Kent aka Superman first. However, when David Corenswet was chosen to portray the Man of Steel, the role of his formidable enemy, Lex Luthor, went to Nicholas. So yes, Nicholas Hoult really did almost become Batman—he just chose Metropolis over Gotham instead. Off-screen, Hoult's career has been financially fruitful. As of early 2025, his net worth is estimated at approximately $10 million, according to multiple financial estimates. His earnings stem from a prolific acting career—including roles in 'X-Men', 'Mad Max: Fury Road', 'The Great', 'Renfield'—as well as endorsements, voice acting, and producing.

Nicholas Hoult reveals he auditioned for Superman first, but realised David Corenswet 'was perfect' to be the superhero
As anticipation builds for the release of Superman on July 11, actor Nicholas Hoult has shared a candid and humorous account of his audition experience for the titular role, offering fans a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into the casting process that eventually saw David Corenswet don the iconic cape. Speaking at Jimmy Kimmel with guest host Diego Luna, Hoult confirmed, 'This is very awkward. Yes, I auditioned for Superman,' and added that Corenswet had auditioned on the 'same day' and even crossed paths on the studio lot. Hoult recounted the moment in vivid detail. 'I walked out of doing one of my audition scenes, and I was like, 'Yeah, not bad. OK,' And I walked around the corner, and there was lots of shadows on the studio lot and then one ray of sunshine,' he said. 'David had taken a seat in this ray of sunshine and was sitting there, charging up from the sun like Superman does, getting his power,' the Nosferatu actor added. Describing the moment with admiration, Hoult continued, 'I walked over to say hello, and he stood up, and I was like, 'Goddamn, he's about an inch taller than me. Look at his hair. Look at his jawline.' And then he started speaking, and I shook his hand, and I was like, 'His hands are a bit bigger than me.' And then he spoke, and I was like, 'Oh, his voice is a little bit deeper too.' And in that moment, whilst we were shaking hands, I was like, 'I'd be happy if this guy was Superman. I was like, 'You're perfect for it.'' Corenswet, who ultimately secured the role of Superman, returned the compliment. 'I admired Nick as an actor for a long time,' he said. 'Getting to meet him when we were both dressed as Clark Kent was a bit weird but wonderful.' The casting decision ultimately saw Hoult take on the role of Lex Luthor, Superman's arch-nemesis. Corenswet admitted he was thrilled upon learning the news. 'The day that I found out that he had agreed to play Lex Luthor, I thought, 'This may be the best thing that happens to this film because a superhero is only as interesting as their villain.'' Directed by James Gunn and also starring Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Superman is slated for global release on July 11, marking the first instalment in the rebooted DC Universe. The film promises a fresh take on the Man of Steel, with Corenswet and Hoult's dynamic already generating buzz ahead of its premiere.
