British actor Nicholas Hoult has blamed his recent knee injury and a subsequent surgery for skipping his appearance at the New York Comic Con.
Actor Nicholas Hoult, 35, who most recently essayed supervillain Lex Luthor in James Gunn’s ‘Superman’, co-starring David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan, revealed in a new video that he was scheduled to attend New York Comic Con, set to run from October 9 to 12; however, he has to excuse him out of the annual event due to a recent injury.
“I’m so sorry to tell you that I won’t be able to join you this time,” he said in the clip, shared on NYCC’s official Instagram page and revealed, “Unfortunately, I had knee surgery a couple of weeks ago, and I can’t walk—or fly—yet. So, I’m not going to be able to make it.”

Sharing the video, the organisers noted in the caption, “We’re wishing a speedy recovery to Nicholas Hoult, who can no longer make it to NYCC. Rest up Nicholas, we hope to see you next time.”
