‘Hold My Beer:’ Galactus Actor Ralph Ineson Recalled The Hilarious Conversation He Had With Nicholas Hoult About Playing Supervillains

by

2025’s July lineup of films could be encapsulated by some as “SuperFantastic,” perhaps a blend of two words. With DC and Marvel offering uplifting stories, it’s essential to have formidable villains for equilibrium. In this case, Ralph Ineson from The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Nicholas Hoult, known for his role as Superman, seem more than capable of filling these antagonist roles, even if their debate on who poses the greater threat is a friendly display of competitive camaraderie.

It appears that the cast members of the film “Nosferatu” had a lively debate, as Ineson revealed to THR. During an interview about his role in the upcoming Marvel movie, the actor portraying Galactus divulged the following conversation he and Hoult had concerning this topic:

The cast members of the film “Nosferatu” seem to have had a spirited discussion, as Ineson disclosed to THR. While discussing his part in the upcoming Marvel movie, the actor playing Galactus divulged the following exchange between him and Hoult regarding this subject:

This morning, we exchanged messages regarding a topic. I posted something on social media praising him for delivering the best ever supervillain performance, to which I quipped, ‘Wait for it.’ He then chuckled and commented, ‘That’s not quite fair. You’re a cosmic being; I’m just an ordinary person.’ To which I replied, ‘You make a valid point, but I’m dealing with four of them.’ (Laughs.) Then he said something like, ‘But I can’t handle spicy food.’ So it seems he’s conceded in the human-versus-deity contest.

It’s hard for me to comprehend why Kevin Smith wasn’t part of this discussion, given his obvious passion for in-depth comic book debates. In fact, he appears to thrive on such conversations. However, even if he were here, I believe he’d still lean towards “the devourer of worlds” in this hypothetical scenario. After all, we’re talking about a Marvel villain who can carry an $80 popcorn bucket, and that’s no small feat.

As a cinema enthusiast, let me express how impressed I am by Nicholas Hoult’s portrayal of Lex Luthor. However, even the most glowing reviews from fans wouldn’t hold a candle to encountering a villain capable of devouring entire planets like a space-faring microwave dinner. When it comes to acting prowess versus supernatural abilities, I must admit that it’s a more balanced contest.

Certainly, some might be inclined to draw parallels between Ralph Ineson’s preparations for portraying Galactus and hypothetical insights from the Superman adversary, potentially stirring up more discussion. This conversation arises just as we approach the release of Fantastic Four: First Steps in cinemas.

The Disney Plus/Hulu Bundle offers an affordable way to explore various iterations of “The Fantastic Four,” with prices starting at just $10.99 per month. For a more uninterrupted experience, opt for the ad-free plan at $19.99 monthly. Check out this deal now!

It’s likely that these films – director Matt Shakman’s Marvel Cinematic Universe debut and James Gunn’s DC Universe launch – will gain a significant boost in popularity from this. Both movies will undoubtedly benefit from such public excitement, as Superman’s impressive box office records are soon to be tested by the First Family of Heroes.

In no time, we’ll discover the outcome as the initial screenings of “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” unfold today, transforming the movie theater into an extraordinary, superb location. Therefore, don’t forget to jot down your thoughts, if you’re planning to participate in the “Lex vs. Galactus” discussion.
