With the movie set to release on July 11, 2025, many have been discussing the cast members and how they would fit into the popular franchise. In an interview with Fandango, the cast members and James Gunn spoke in detail about the movie and their roles.

David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult also commented on each other's presence and role in the film. Corenswet complimented Holt, stating that he was one of the best things that happened to the movie.

"When Nick was cast, I thought this is one of the best things that will happen to this movie is getting Nick Hoult as Lex Luthor. The first time I saw him at his camera test walk out of the shadows in costume, it was like something ripped out of the page of the comics," Corenswet said.

Hoult also shared his thoughts on Corenswet's character, calling it magical and explaining it to be exactly like his childhood imagination of the superhero.

"There was a moment where I just looked up and it was [David] in the suit, flying into this set, and I was like... this is the magic of movies. This is the magic of my childhood. This is all the things I would hope it would feel like, the person I would hope playing Superman. He embodies the character perfectly," he added.

Fans are eagerly awaiting how their characters would pan out on the silver screen for the viewers in the upcoming movie, Superman.
