Zack Snyder reveals some big names he reached out to for Lex Luthor.

Today marks 86 years since Superman made his debut, and folks are celebrating the iconic hero in various ways. James Gunn shared a photo from the set of his new Superman movie, which featured him alongside David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan reading some classic Superman comics. The new movie is also set to star Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor . Of course, many actors have played the beloved DC characters over the years with different directors tackling the stories.

"I think so," Snyder said when asked if the Oscar-winner was intrigued by the idea."He had a lot of great ideas actually, just in the meeting. I think in the end, he was like 'Eh, I don't know.' But he was really smart about the material and really smart about the character." When Is The Next Superman Being Released? Originally titled Superman: Legacy, DC Studios describes James Gunn's Superman as the story of Superman's journey to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as Clark Kent of Smallville, Kansas. He is the embodiment of truth, justice, and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.
