For the inaugural Superman movie in the DC Universe, writer/director James Gunn has opted to make Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) the primary villain. Accompanying Luthor are various baddies like Angela Spica/The Engineer,

Some thoughts (and maybe some clues) about James Gunn and his secret "favorite thing" DCU project. Is David Corenswet's Superman involved?

"He's a great actor. I mean, some might say he's better than David in certain ways, but he just didn't fit the role, and that's why he didn't get that," the director said of Hoult, who plays Lex Luthor in the new movie.
