Patrick Schwarzenegger Reflects on Auditions for Superman and Homelander

The White Lotus actor reveals his journey through superhero auditions, including James Gunn's Superman reboot, before landing key roles in TV.

Patrick Schwarzenegger auditioned for the roles of Superman in James Gunn's upcoming DC reboot and Homelander in The Boys but did not land either part.
His Superman audition was a self-tape submission, and he reported receiving no feedback before the role went to David Corenswet.
Schwarzenegger praised Antony Starr's Emmy-worthy performance as Homelander, expressing gratitude for not being cast in the role himself.
The actor eventually found success with his role as Golden Boy in The Boys spinoff Gen V, which he credits to his earlier Homelander audition.
Schwarzenegger currently stars in The White Lotus Season 3, portraying a character described as the opposite of Superman.
