Jacob Elordi says he turned down Superman audition because it was ‘too dark’

Giacobbe Elordithe actor who recently played Elvis Presley in Sofia Coppola’S Pricilla, recently revealed in an interview with GQ magazine that he was asked to audition for the role of Superman, but turned down the opportunity because it was “too dark.” She probably she’s referring to James Gunnthe next movie Superman: Legacy, which is the most recent project that was going through the casting process earlier this year. When asked if he would do superhero films, the actor said:

“I was always told to give a complete answer otherwise my agent will get mad at me. ‘Anything could happen!’ And obviously anything can happen, but at this stage in my life I don’t see myself interested in that. I like to make what I want to watch and I get very restless watching those movies.

“I should end with: ‘Never say never!’ Well, they asked me to read for Superman. And immediately it was: “No, thanks.” It’s too much. It’s too dark for me.”

It appears he hasn’t done any research into what Gunn is doing with Superman because Gunn’s Superman is described as “the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, driven by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as a out of date.” .” He doesn’t seem like a dark version of the character. Regardless, he obviously isn’t interested in these roles. At the same time, his imminent Salt burner the movie looks damn dark.

David Corenswet was announced this summer for Gunn’s Superman, featuring Rachel Brosnahan cast as Lois Lane. Nathan Fillion is cast in the role of Guy Gardner, aka Green Lantern, Isabela Mercede will play Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi it’s Mister Terrific, and Antonio Carrigan he will play the role of a superhero called Metamorpho, whose alter ego is the archaeologist Rex Mason.

Elordi continued speaking The kissing booth films he made, saying, “I didn’t want to make those films before I made those films. Those movies are ridiculous. They are not universal. They are an escape.”

When the idea came up The kissing booth trilogy fits into Hollywood’s “one for them, one for me,” Elordi responded: “That’s a trap too. Because for them they can become 15, for you none. You have no original ideas and you are dead inside. So it’s a beautiful dance. “My ‘one for them,’ I did.”

He continued, “How is taking care of your own production pretentious? But don’t worry, and knowingly give people shit, knowing that you’re making money off of people’s time, which is literally the most valuable thing they have. How is this the good thing?”

Elordi’s next film is Emerald Fennel’S Salt burnerand is currently in production with Paolo Schrader on the film Oh, Canadaand he will shoot Euphoria The third season next year.
