It’s the Superman x Star Wars crossover we never knew we needed. Well, sort of. Andor star Diego Luna was the guest host on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and he had two very special guests, Superman’s David Corenswet and Nicholas Hoult. During the interview, the trio bonded over the fact that they all started out as child actors, among other things. But things got interesting when Hoult revealed he originally auditioned to play the Man of Steel himself. But when he saw Corenswet at the same audition, he knew that guy was simply born to play Kal-El. (Just look at him, we would have thought the same thing!)
You can watch the full Jimmy Kimmel Live! Interview below:
Nicholas Hoult shouldn’t have worried, of course. He clearly impressed director James Gunn enough that he got the role of the villainous Lex Luthor. And as Diego Luna joked, maybe he brought some of that resentment about not being Superman to the part. After all, not being able to be Superman is a key component of Lex’s character, both in comics and film.
As for Corenswet, he mentioned that he still hasn’t seen the movie, despite being the titular star. He wants to preserve watching Superman at the premiere, so he can experience it for the first time with an audience. We actually can’t blame him there. Corenswet is an enormous Star Wars fan, as you can see in the video above. so we’re a bit surprised he didn’t talk to Diego Luna about the greatness of Andor. If Superman becomes the hit we think it will be, we have a strong suspicion there will be a lightsaber at some point in David Corenswet’s future. At the very least, let the man pilot an X-Wing!
Superman arrives in theaters on July 11.
