Breaking news, people: /Film can exclusively confirm that Nicholas Hoult is now, indeed, bald. Okay, in all fairness, James Gunn confirmed the development himself in a new Instagram post, marking the occasion of the “Superman: Legacy” cast’s official table read in Atlanta, Georgia as the production ramps up for filming in just a few short weeks. The caption for Gunn’s social media post read:
“After the table read with the ‘Superman’ cast. Eve, Mr. Terrific, Superman/Clark, Otis, Lex, producer Peter Safran, Jimmy, Metamorpho, Lois, Hawkgirl, me, Guy, The Engineer all together for the first time! What a wonderful day.”
Fans can take a gander at much of the primary cast of the film, including David Corenswet as Clark Kent/Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as intrepid reporter Lois Lane, Sara Sampai as Eve Teschmacher, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Terence Rosemore as Lex Luthor henchman Otis, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, “Barry” scene-stealer Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, frequent Gunn collaborator Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, and María Gabriela de Faría as The Engineer. And, way in the back, there’s a freshly-shaved Hoult already walking the walk as Lex Luthor.
“Superman: Legacy” is set to fly into theaters July 11, 2025.
