We just got a new look at Nicholas Hoult in the upcoming Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow!
The 36-year-old actor will be reprising his role as Lex Luthor in the new movie, which is once again written and directed by DCU co-CEO James Gunn.
On Monday (June 1), James took to social media to share a new look at Nicholas on set of the sequel movie.
“Fit check. Live from the set of Man of Tomorrow,” Gunn captioned the above photo.
In the pic, we get a first look at Nicholas in Lex Luthor’s warsuit, which James first teased back in February while celebrating the characters birthday!
“Happy Birthday to the ambitious and unstoppable CEO and scientist Lex Luthor, who most definitely is NOT a villain, but instead of protector of earth and humanity (he swears on a stack of Bibles). We’ll see how he does working with arch-nemesis Superman in MAN OF TOMORROW, in theaters summer of 27. He first appeared in SUPERMAN #4, written by Jerry Siegel, with pencils by Joe Shuster and inks by Paul Cassidy,” he captioned a photo from the comics.
If you didn’t know, Lex Luthor first obtained the alien battle suit on his home planet, Lexor, while he was living there briefly before it’s destruction. The suit gives him superhuman strength and durability, and it allows him to fly, have a force field and energy projection.
In Man of Tomorrow, Superman and Lex Luthor are set to team up as they against a new villain – Brainiac, played by Lars Eidinger. Filming is currently underway in Atlanta.
