00:00 James Gunn is giving us more insight into Nicholas Holt's version of Lex Luthor in Superman
00:05 Legacy.
00:07 The co-chair and co-CEO of DC Studios posted a photo of him and Holt on threads and shared
00:12 that the two had dinner to celebrate the official casting.
00:15 Gunn wrote that he "couldn't be happier."
00:17 "We went out to dinner last night to celebrate and discuss how we can create a Lex that will
00:21 be different from anything you've seen before and will never forget.
00:24 But James, we heard this weeks ago.
00:26 Why didn't you tell us it was true?
00:28 Because although we were discussing it, it wasn't final until a couple days ago.
00:31 And I don't want to tell you all something that isn't certain."
00:34 News broke in November that Holt was in talks to portray the classic villain in Gunn's upcoming
00:38 Superman movie.
00:39 The great actor was also one of the finalists to play Superman in the film, but the title
00:43 role eventually went to David Corenswet.
00:45 Meanwhile, Rachel Brosnahan will portray Lois Lane.
00:48 Superman Legacy is expected to hit theaters July 11, 2025.
