First Class" co-star Hoult to play the title character in his
action-packed retelling of the classic fairy tale, the choice
wasn't always clear -- even though Hoult was "right under his
nose." Of the young star, who's already had a hit this year in
"Warm Bodies," he says, "Nick is very charismatic, but he can
also play very vulnerable, and he has a great sense of humor."

coveted shortlist: The one to play a young Han Solo.

"genuinely pumped" for Zack Snyder's Superman reboot "Man of
