Nicholas Hoult recently revealed to The Guardian that he screen-tested for Robert Pattinson’s role in The Batman as well as for Top Gun (perhaps in Miles Teller or Glen Powell’s role?), but was passed over. Then, it seemed that fate was trying to bring him and Tom Cruise together again when the actor personally called him to offer him a role in Mission Impossible 7. Hoult accepted the role but ultimately had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.

“I screen-tested for Batman and didn’t get it,” Hoult told The Guardian. “Screen-tested for Top Gun, didn’t get it. Then I got the call from Tom Cruise: ‘Hey, how about Mission Impossible?’ Ok. Got it. Then I had to drop out because I was already attached to do some more of The Great.”

Still, Hoult has a lot of great films under his belt, like the new Renfield movie opposite Nicolas Cage as Dracula; Warm Bodies; The Menu, and Mad Max: Fury Road.
