Loved Nicholas in Warm Bodies and my goodness he is too delightful in The Great. I honestly didn't watch all of Smallville, but I watched the first two seasons and his Lex Luthor and the dynamic with his father is what comes to my mind. Much more than Tom as Superman(no hate to Tom).

Nicholas is a phenomenal actor, he went criminally underused as Beast in the X-Men movies, so it’ll be awesome to see him tackling a role like Lex that REFUSES to be ignored.

I was already a fan of his work, now I'm a fan of him as a person. What a chill, humble guy.

Handled the sensitive topic of Nicholas not wanting to go into something that was very personal to him. Very well done handling that uncomfortable moment making Nicholas feel at ease while interviewing him.

The first ten mins hit me in the feels. Lex's first Lex!!! Could tell it meant a lot to both gentleman. For the British contingent, referencing Smallville on Channel 4, during T4, was a nostalgia blast. It was an institution for the young and the hungover.

Michael, in my opinion, you have been the best Lex to date... and it's not even close. I'm a big Hackman fan, but you gave Lex layers that no one has before or since. Nicholas, break a leg, brother. I am looking forward to your take. I hope you pass the high bar Michael set.

Very cool, the fact that Smallville was Nicholas' first Lex and that it meant so much to Rosey was really heartwarming to see. Gonna fancast for a moment, it would be really cool to have Rosey play Lionel Luthor in the Gunn movies, just sayin'... plus he could keep his hair!

I can see Gunn giving him a cameo. He gave him a small role in Guardians, so I have 0 doubt he’ll give him a cameo in the new DCU somewhere. Having him play Lionel would be too on the nose though.

Awesome to see Michael's reaction to how he was Nicholas' first Lex. The good advice Michael gives, under James Gunn's direction, we're definitely getting peak Lex Luthor in the DCU! Nicholas will be amazing. Wonderful to see the role whether it's in film or TV impacts someone's life. Now Nicholas will be Lex for kids today and kids being born. I can't wait for Superman!

Never saw his career coming this far watching Warm bodies. That was a film i watched on a whim and ended up really liking. Glad to see how far his come.

I first saw him in Warm Bodies, and I've loved everything else he's done. What a great guest! Awesome episode!

The best way I can describe this whole segment is it's basically big brother and little brother uniting together and the big brother handing down the torch to his little brother in full confidence that he knows he's going to do a good job and at the same time he's also humbled and honored that his younger brother looked up to his older brother for inspiration

As a millennial from the South West of the UK, Skins was my absolute favourite thing. I've loved watching Nick, Joe and Dev go on to such incredible carers the past couple of decades.

I served Mr Hoult when I used to work for Waitrose and got his autograph. Very nice and down to earth.

Nicholas Hoult’s voice is so charming to listen to, it just hits a spot in my ears that I’ve never felt before

Fury Road was the first thing I'd seen Nicholas in, and I've loved everything I've seen him in since. And I've gotta say, I never imagined him as Lex Luthor but I have no doubt he'll knock it out of the park.

A very lovely moment was when Nicholas wasn't comfortable sharing a dark period in his life, and yet Michael was so respectful of Nicholas' feelings. The way he handled it is an indication of how great and empathetic Michael is. As a neewbie actor myself, seeing Nicholas smiling and feeling heard is the perfect interaction between two people, two actors. I'll also add that's a great way for filmmakers to build trust with their cast. That way the actors will be comfortable enough to be vulnerable when the camera's rolling. Bravo, Michael 👏🏻

@cje3247

Ай бұрын

I thought the same. I was guessing that it was his breakup from Jennifer Lawrence.

I saw Gunn shared this and flew straight over to youtube. What a lovely interview and you always give so much, Michael. Im sure Nicholas felt some extra peer confidence after this. He is so nice and super talented. Creatives all need that support. 🥰

1:07:55 ahah well done Michael for inviting yourself to the premiere 😂 Personally I will go at the premiere to Paris to the Grand Rex (because I'm French) but I hope that Michael you will really be there (we will see that the day of its release...), anyways, you really deserve to be invited because you are and will always be the best Lex Luthor (try to bring Tom Welling with you? It would be funny and nice to see you both at the premiere)

Nicholas Holt asks you a question "What did you take away from the playing the character?" I think it would be interesting to bring Nicholas back after he has played the role, to have a conversation on the contrasts between what he took away from the role being in a condensed film format compared to you with the episodic exploration of the character.

That was actually a really fantastic low key impression of Anthony Hopkins to be fair. He got his very light Welsh accent and his intonations just right and even stared off into the distance, like Sir Anthony does when he's being himself. That was dead on.

I finished watching Warm Bodies with my gf last weekend, and I've seen Nicholas in other films such as The Menu, X-Men First Class, and X-Men Days of Futures Past. He's an absolutely tremendous actor and I can't wait to see his portrayal of Lex.

It’s awesome to hear Nicholas is a racing fan and is learning the craft! Driving at COTA is insanely cool. Thanks for bringing him on Michael!

An awesome chat. Nicholas is a fantastic actor. The range he has covered is amazing. And the new Lex. Definitely will be a wild & fun ride with this new Superman film Cannot wait to see him return, after the film. A Lex & Lex dialogue

Wow-wow-wee-waa! I was not expecting to see Nicholas Hoult on here. I loved him in The Great!!!

that “so i shouldn’t do that?” just cemented him for me as lex. The quick, poignant riposte. 🔥

Yes, Michael's the best Lex. Good luck, Nicholas!

michael's take on lex was extremely nuanced, which is why his portrayal remains the best live action take clancy brown's take on lex is the best animated i think that nick should reach back to the character he portrayed in skins for use as lex

I hope we get Welling and Corenswet. Loved Houkt as Beast, but my favroite movie of his is probably The Menu.

Love that Nicholas got to prepare for the role chatting with the greatest Lex ever.

This episode was so lovely, probably one of my favorite episodes to date. 🥺 I’m hoping that Nicholas Hoult and James Gunn both agreeing that Michael’s Lex was the best is a good sign for how Lex is going to be presented in the movie. None of the other live action Lexes have really resonated with me, but Nicholas is an exceptional actor and has the right look for him, so I’m very optimistic about the movie!

I have pretty much grown up watching Nicholas Hoult as we're both around the same age group, he's 4 years younger than me and it has been a real blast to watch him mature into an amazing actor in his own right. I've been a fan of his since his Skins day, he is going to absolutely kill it as Lex Luthor and i can't wait to see him in action.

The passing of the torch... or in this case the razer for the hair lol

Thank You Michael for your interviews.

That was great. Hoult doesn't do many interviews, so it was so interesting t see him let down his guard a little.

It was nice of him to give you recognition for ur work in Smallville, coz let's be honest one of the best portraits of Lex Luthor you did!

This has to be a highlight of the podcast. Seeing Michael give advice and pass on his techniques to the next person to play his most iconic role of Lex Luthor is special.

Lex Luthors in the house lol. This is the biggest unexpected surprise and Michael Rosenbaum has out done himself really well.

Nicholas you have become my favorite person to see on screen recently, Keep it coming🎉❤

What a lovely interview with a lovely guy. Great one Rosey! I love how much reverence Nicholas has for those who played the role before him. I'm so glad there are actors who will watch previous iterations of a popular character they will be playing. It gives me hope for a faithful adaptation.

Been a fan of this dude since Skins. Cool to see him grow into a big hollywood actor

This was a great chat! Looking forward to seeing Nicholas's Lex and the follow up once its out

This was great, the Lex chat between them really pulled me in, great character, two great guys! And Nic referencing smallville on channel 4 really took me back to my late teens

Nicholas is gonna kill it as Lex

Nic Hoult is one of my fav actors of recent years.

I loved Nicholas Hoult ever since Skins. If anyone can play Lex even a fraction as good as Michael, it would be him.

This was much needed!

what a freaking cool interview. To see Nicholas really leaning in on the lex talk and try to gather tools. Great work!

Loved this interview; he seems like a genuinely cool, chilled and intelligent guy. Great job! 🎉

This was an amazing podcast! 💚💚Hope everyone is doing well with their mental health on this fine day!

The most natural, genuine conversation. I want to see these guys in a movie or show together.

There's another Lex out there. Butler's Fayd in Dune 2 reminds me a lot of Rosenbaum's Luthor.

Nicholas >James Bond I think he's such a great actor he could pull any role off. I started watching the great by accident, and what an outrageous script, extremely funny performances, and a show that can be heart wrenching and uplifting. Can't say enough about The Great. Michael your still number 1 Lex, however Nicholas will definitely give you a run for you money.

I just love the podcast. It's very interesting, thank you so much 😊

Whoa!!! This is awesome! And almost to 300k subs too!

One of my favorite actors and the reasons are on full display. Very amiable dude, underrated yet not at the same time.

You already know nick was listening to big daddy Rosenbaum give him the deep “lex” talk over a bottle of whiskey after the podcast. I have no doubt holt is going to kill it
