'Superman' Star David Corenswet Hilariously Trolls Nicholas Hoult With Unique Outfit

While the star of the highly anticipated new Superman movie, David Corenswet, has praised his fellow co-star Nicholas Hoult often during interviews, their off-camera rapport can apparently handle some light-hearted trolling.
However, the recent approach of Corenswet to take a jab at his on-screen nemesis landed the new Man of Steel some points from fans. Hoult, who plays Lex Luthor in Superman, was spotted wearing an all-white outfit, complete with a tank top and a sweater tied across his chest, on June 30, as detailed by Just Jared.
Just over one week later, following a July 9 interview with theToday show, Corenswet stepped out in an outfit that is impressively close to an exact replica of Hoult's.
The icing on the cake came as the new Superman star took to Instagram to give fans a full display of his new look. Corenswet even trolled Hoult with the caption on his post.

It's easy to enjoy the bond that Corenswet and Hoult built while filming Superman. It appears that most viewers love the duo's performance in the movie, as many fans and critics who attended early viewings offered rave reviews of the James Gunn-directed film.
While the early critic reviews of Superman were impressive, the initial fan reactions were eye-opening. Superman holds a strong 85 percent critic score on Rotten Tomatoes following the initial viewings, with a stellar 96 percent mark from over 1,000 verified fan reviews.
