Like a lot of people, Nicholas Hoult is headed to Florida for the winter. The Juror #2 star is coming to MegaCon Orlando, which will run from February 6-9, 2025. The convention made the announcement via their official Twitter account.

Hoult will be in attendance at the convention on Friday, February 7, and Saturday, February 8 only. With Hoult set to take up the bald pate and nefarious mien of Lex Luthor, MegaCon has several other stars from previous DC Comics screen adaptations in attendance, including Grant Gustin and Candice Patton (The Flash), Tom Welling, Kristin Kreuk, Erica Durance, and Laura Vandervoort (Smallville), Stephen Amell, Willa Holland, and Emily Bett Richards (Arrow), Brandon Routh (Superman Returns), Tyler Hoechlin and Bitsie Tulloch (Superman and Lois), and Dean Cain (Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman). The show will also feature Hoult's fellow Lex Luthor Michael Rosenbaum, who played the character on Smallville. Tickets to the show are now available at FanExpoHQ.com.

Who Is Nicholas Hoult?

British actor Hoult broke out at age thirteen playing a youthful outcast opposite Hugh Grant and Toni Collette in About a Boy. After starring in the British teen drama Skins, he transitioned to adult roles, starring in A Single Man, Clash of the Titans, and Mad Max: Fury Road. He also took on the role of the Beast in Fox's X-Men films, starting with X-Men: First Class. He has frequently appeared in historical dramas, including Rebel in the Rye (as J.D. Salinger), Tolkien (as J.R.R. Tolkien), and The Current War (as Nikola Tesla). 2024 was an extremely busy year for Hoult; after earning good notices for his performance in Clint Eastwood's alleged cinematic swan song Juror #2, he can currently be seen in Robert Eggers' Nosferatu and the fact-based crime drama The Order, and will grace screens later this year as the Man of Steel's nemesis, Lex Luthor, in the James Gunn-directed Superman.

MegaCon Orlando is one of the largest fan conventions in North America. Once owned by the defunct comic book publisher CrossGen, it is now part of Informa, the corporation that runs the FanExpo group of fan conventions.

MegaCon Orlando will run from February 6-9, 2025. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
