The two revealed that they'd auditioned for the same role that day, but only Corenswet got the part for Clark Kent. Hoult, who'd met Corenswet right after his own audition, began to compare himself to the latter and ended the meeting believing that if Corenswet did get the Superman role, he'd deserve it. Both Nicholas Hoult and David Corenswet approve of each other's roles When speaking to Diego Luna, both Nicholas Hoult and David Corenswet stated they were happy to work with each other on Superman. Furthermore, just like Hoult believed David deserved the role of Superman, David was glad to have Nicholas Hoult play Lex Luthor, saying that it could very well be the best thing to happen to the movie as 'a superhero is only as interesting as their villain.' Nicholas Hoult is a British actor who's known for his roles in the British teen drama Skins, X Men: First Class, Warm Bodies and Mad Max: Fury Road. David Corenswet is known for his roles on Netflix's House of Cards, The Politician, and Hollywood.

Best known for his work on the Guardians of the Galaxy films, along with 2021's The Suicide Squad, James Gunn rebooted the DC Universe after being hired by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav. Gunn's decision to start over with a clean slate was controversial among some of the established DCEU fans, who were unhappy about their ongoing franchises getting the short shrift. Nonetheless, Gunn has remained steadfast in his vision and his ambitions. While Superman is the tentpole release of the rebooted DCU's first chapter, 'Gods and Monsters', James Gunn is also working on other prominent DC projects, such as the Creature Commandos animated series, and a Supergirl film based on the comic Supergirl: Woman of tomorrow.
