"What about this guy named Cornsweat?"
Nicholas Hoult has now lost out on playing both Batman and Superman.

There is a chance he could still be on the shortlist to play Lex Luthor. pic.twitter.com/3spKQZ0zlw
What needs to be understood is our new SUPERMAN and LOIS are, together, probably the most screen and chemistry tested actors of the modern age. Do not underestimate just how important this is to the success of @JamesGunn's SUPERMAN: LEGACY. I, for one, am VERY EXCITED about this.

I've always liked Amy Adams, but she was such a bland Lois, and yeah, had zero chemistry with Cavill.
I have a feeling Corenswet & Brosnahan will knock it out of the park in that regard.

While everyone is talking about Corenswet (as they should huge win given everyone that was chasing), several sources close to the process it was Brosnahan who delivered by far the best audition tape of anyone who read, male or female, of the dozens that submitted a tape

It’s not often I watch a new film and genuinely find myself asking “who is THAT?” because I’m bowled over by an actor’s looks, chops or (preferably) both. PEARL was one of those occasions last year. Mia Goth is all I could talk about, but David Corenswet is who had me on IMDb. pic.twitter.com/1wkp06Ehkm

I would imagine if he plays Lex, he would play it nothing like his Succession character. I hope they dont make Lex some neurotic tech guy again, hes supposed to ooze charisma (or my version of Lex does). Which Alexander skarsgard can definitely do.Vince Blake said:
Give me Bill Skarsgard as Lex. Guy just oozes menacing. Nothing against Alexander, he's great, I just fear his Lex would be a little too derivative of his Succession character.

Superman: Legacy was David Corenswet’s fate!pic.twitter.com/5HB8Khf6tY
Twitter dorks who are roasting David for not being muscular enough, this is how Cavill looked when he auditioned for Superman. pic.twitter.com/L8hrPHu1sC

It's crazy how we had two sets of crappy Clark and Lois relationships back to back. This was supposed to recreate Reeve and Kidder. pic.twitter.com/h4gYvH8goD

We said it earlier, but casting a magnetic screen presence for the Lex role should be important as well. I like Jesse Eisenberg in a few roles, but he is not really someone that just demands your attention on screen.TCTTS said:
There's just no way Brosnahan doesn't bring out the best in Corenswet. She's so charming that she makes everyone else around her better. As good as Corenswet could be, I think it's Brosnahan who will be the secret weapon, and make this the best pairing since Reeve and Kidder.
after seeing this edit, yeah david corenswet is gonna NAIL it as superman. pic.twitter.com/WbDZL38Dut

I like that storyline...as long as Lex's mother isn't also named Martha.DubFalls said:
I think a fun Superman plot, especially for one where he is just starting to exist, would be to have the following
- Clark joins paper
- Clark does a profile on Lex, who is doing good things with his money, they become buds
- Lex has something happen to make him lose faith in humanity and superheros
- Lex breaks bad
- Superman must stop Lex, but the Clark part of him is torn between his duty and his friend
Kinda the Smallville arch between Lex and Clark, but it's good.
