Nicholas Hoult has been on a bit of a rollercoaster ride when it comes to Hollywood roles. While he's currently enjoying the highs of his new movie Renfield, he's had his fair share of lows. He lost out on major roles in three big franchises over the past three years, and was even forced to turn down Tom Cruise when he came knocking with a role for him in Mission: Impossible 7.
Unfortunately, his obligations to Hulu series The Great meant he had to pull out of the project, leaving Robert Pattinson to take the mantle of Batman in the 2022 movie. This was after Hoult had already screen-tested for both Batman and Top Gun: Maverick, but not gotten either part.

Despite missing out on the chance to play the lead in some of Hollywood's biggest franchises, Nicholas Hoult has still managed to stay positive.
(Image Source: https://metro.co.uk) He narrowly lost out on the main roles in Batman, Top Gun: Maverick and Mission: Impossible 7, but was even offered the part of the villain in the latter by Tom Cruise himself.

The Renfield star was certainly dealt a tough hand, though the silver lining is that Robert Pattinson went on to make his debut as Batman to critical and financial success.
