Nicholas Hoult Unveils Lex Luthor's Mindset in Behind-the-Scenes 'Superman' Look

In an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming 'Superman' film, actor Nicholas Hoult offered a compelling insight into his portrayal of the iconic villain, Lex Luthor. Hoult described his character as driven and a 'master puppeteer,' emphasizing the enjoyment he finds in deconstructing a villain's motivations. "What's fun about playing a villain is breaking them apart and going, 'Well, actually, you make a few key twists in your brain wiring, and then you realize that it makes complete sense where they're coming from,'" Hoult stated, shedding light on his approach to the complex character. The footage also showed director James Gunn on set, overseeing the production, and glimpses of David Corenswet as Superman. The highly anticipated 'Superman' movie is set to debut on July 10th, promising a fresh take on the classic superhero saga, with Hoult's Lex Luthor poised to be a formidable adversary.
