Nicholas Hoult<\/a>\u2018s journey to the DC Universe wasn’t smooth sailing. Before landing the role of Lex Luthor in James Gunn<\/strong>\u2018s Superman<\/strong><\/em>, he faced a tough setback when he learned he wouldn’t be starring in Matt Reeves<\/strong>\u2018 The Batman<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a recent chat, the Skins<\/em> star opened up about the moment he found out Robert Pattinson<\/a> had snagged the role of The Dark Knight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember a week before we did the Batman test, I was driving in my car and I had the radio on and they were talking on the radio about how Rob was going to be the new Batman,\u201d Hoult recalled on the Happy Sad Confused<\/em><\/a> podcast. \u201cAnd I was like, \u2018It’s not confirmed yet! I’m auditioning next weekend. Like, give me a chance.’\u201d<\/p>\n
