On a certain level, this seems overly familiar.
In this context, Lex Luthor is a good place to start.
The devil made flesh.
Hoult has the opportunity to right that ship inSuperman: Legacy.
He also has seemingly accepted his career is leading him increasingly toward the parts of heavies and baddies.
Hoult has range and shows panache for finding layers in what are otherwise egomaniacal bastards.
That sounds like a proper Lex Luthor to us.
