We could recently admire him in the very well-received Saltburn and soon we will see him in the role of Elvis Presley in Sofia Coppola's new masterpiece - Priscilla. Despite the development of his career, the star has no intention of appearing in superhero shows, about which he told in an interview with GQ Magazine.

However, he decided not to fight for the role, and the reason may astonish some of you. Elordi confessed that it would have been "too dark" for him. "I was always told to give an evasive answer, otherwise the agent would be furious with me: 'Anything can happen.' Sure, anything can happen, but at this stage of my life I'm not interested [in such projects - ed. note]. I want to make movies that I myself would like to watch, and watching them [superhero movies - ed. note] makes me anxious. I should end my statement like: "But never say never!". Well, I was invited to audition for the role of Superman. My immediate reaction? 'No, thank you. It's too much for me. It's too dark for me.'" It's hard to say unequivocally what the actor meant when he said Superman was too dark for him. Elordi could have been referring to the superhero character himself, the production in which he was to appear, or the process of preparing for the role. However, we can guess which specific show he was referring to. Most likely, the actor was asked to audition for James Gunn's Superman: Legacy, scheduled for release in 2025. Indeed, castings for this work were held this spring and summer, and Elordi was one of the fan favorites for the role. In the end, it was announced that the role of Clark Kent will go to David Corenswet, and he will be partnered on screen by Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane.
