Nicholas Hoult is playing iconic villai🔴n Lex Luthor in the DCU’s Superman reboot, and it seems like he’s been taking inspiration from many plꦡaces. 

Speaking on the , the Renfield star said he’s been drawing particularly from 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:All-Star Superman. The comic, which is a big inspiration for G🅰unn&👍rsquo;s version of the Man of Steel as a whole, was written by Grant Morriso🐟n and features a whole h🍒ost of villains, including Luthor.

"There’s that bit in All-Star Superman where he talks about his muscles being real and hard work and all that," Hoult shared on the podcast. "I kind of took that as a little bit of fuel for the fire." However, the actor was keen to point out that although he’s been working out, he doesn’t expect Luthor to have any s🐭hirtless scenes. 

Per , Hoult also shared that he’s taken inspiration from Michael Rosenbaum himself, who played the villain on Smallville. "The first ever Leꦏx I saw was you," he shared. "Yeah, I grew up, Smallville was on. That was the show I would watch and see my first iterations of Superman and Lex and all those stories. I’ve since seen Richard Donner’s movies and all the other ones and kind of seen some of the other perf🍷ormances but you’re like the one… It’s the best."
