James Gunn confirms Nicholas Hoult wrapped filming for Superman
James Gunn, who wrote and directed the new Superman movie, has announced that Nicholas Hoult is done filming as Lex Luthor. Gunn also shared a pretty unique and thoughtful wrap gift from Hoult.
Gunn took to his social media handles and thanked Hoult for the "fun wrap gift," a copy of Superman #167. The very cover of this comic, capturing Superman in a cage between the villainous Brainiac and Lex Luthor, fully denotes its retro feel of the DC comic style. In the issue, both villains are teaming up against Superman to rid him of powers he has acquired, only for Brainiac to finish the job by shrinking him. This cover's nostalgic vibe makes us think of a lot of vintage Superman comics. Now that his work is over, Hoult is working on other projects.
Gunn reiterated that the filming of Superman was not complete, only Hoult's part in it was. He thanked Nicholas Hoult for the "incredible wrap gift!" saying "No we're not done filming – only Nick is." Gunn was very excited to have Hoult on board for this iconic role.
