Soon after that we had the huge announcement of Nicholas Hoult being cast as the supervillain Lex Luthor. Hoult was circling the role of Superman which was eventually given to David Corenswet , who was a fan favorite for the part. Along with Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan was also cast Lois Lane. Now, we have another two important additions to the film’s cast.
