Actor Nicholas Hoult is set to play the iconic supervillain Lex Luthor in James Gunn's upcoming Superman movie.
Recently, new images have surfaced showcasing Hoult with a shaved head, giving fans a glimpse of his appearance as Lex Luthor.
Hoult posted pictures on Instagram of him posing with a Ferrari.
Since Superman is currently in production, Hoult's shaved head reveals the classic Lex Luthor look.
Previously, an image from the set shared by Gunn had confirmed that Hoult's Lex would sport the traditional bald head.
These new photos provide a closer and more detailed look. You can check out the post below.
Interestingly, there have been various versions of Lex Luthor over the years.
For instance, Jesse Eisenberg portrayed a long-haired version of Lex when he was introduced in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. However, in a later appearance, Eisenberg's Lex revealed that he had shaved his head.
Additionally, a new animated Lex in the series My Adventures with Superman imagines the character with hair, although there's always a chance he could end up shaving it as well.
The upcoming Superman movie follows the titular superhero as he reconciles his heritage with his human upbringing.
Superman embodies truth, justice, and the American way, even in a world that sometimes views these values as old-fashioned.
The cast for the Superman reboot includes David Corenswet as Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, Isabela Merced as Kendra Saunders, Milly Alcock (rumoured to play Kara Zor-El), Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, and Nicholas Hoult portraying the iconic villain Lex Luthor.
DC Studios' Superman is set to fly into cinemas on July 11, 2025.
