‘Too dark for me’: This star turned down the role of Superman

‘Too dark for me’: This star turned down the role of Superman

Expectedly, as Elvis Presley in Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla, which hits theaters on January 3, Jacob Ellord could play another pop culture icon. At least if he agreed to take on the role of the Man of Steel in Superman: Legacy, which James Gunn is producing.

in the given interview GQIn Euphoria, Nate Jacobs’ interpreter reveals that he was approached by a potential replacement for Henry Cavill: “I was asked to read for Superman”Australian actor explains. But I immediately said: No, thank you. It’s too much, it’s too dark for me.”

We don’t know if the actress is considering James Gunn’s next film “too dark”, while its colorful logo conveys a lighter tone. Or if it’s about the role itself. Still, David Korensvet can thank him even if he had nothing to say that Jacob Ellord would win. And the latter is clearly not going to play a superhero.

Jacob Ellord as Elvis Presley

“I don’t particularly want to, no.”declares one who does not hide his admiration for Christian Bale and Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. “I was always told to cut corners in my answers or I’d annoy my agent. Like, ‘Anything can happen!’ while watching.”

If Robert Pattinson proves you should never say never, Matt Reeves’ Batman becomes Superman: Legacy, which hits our theaters on July 9, 2025. Without Jacob Ellord, but with David Korenswet, Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane), Nathan Fillion (Green Lantern), Isabelle Merced (Hawkgorgle), Eddie Gathegi (Mr. Magnificent) and Anthony Corrigan (Metamorph).
