While Nicholas Hoult is joining the DC Universe as Lex Luthor in Supermanthe actor put a lot of thought into his audition process for Batman.
During the last episode of Happy, Sad, Confused podcast, Hoult was asked what his journey was like with auditioning for Batman affected him before joining another superhero franchise like James Gunn’s DC Universe. As happy as Hoult was to see that Pattinson was the right choice, the first X-Men star made it clear it was an emotional rollercoaster by sharing the following:
Well, of course it’s an emotional blow because your imagination doesn’t know! [laughs] You are aware on a practical level. You’re like, ‘I know I’m auditioning against Rob,’ and Rob is fantastic in this movie. I think it was the right decision, but also you get excited about the prospect – Matt is a fantastic director, and the script and everything else I thought, ‘This is going to be a cool movie. I want to be part of that and be a brilliant character. So obviously there’s a weird period before you come to acceptance and see the film and think, ‘Oh yeah, it works, it was the right choice.’ You have to go through a period of like, ‘Oh, what could I have done differently?’ You go through all these things, obviously.
