The hero in question was Superman. Patrick auditioned to play the hero in James Gunn Superman, which will premiere in the summer of 2025. David Corenswet landed the role.

Patrick said that he didn’t get to put on the hero’s iconic costume during the audition process and didn’t get very far into the process.

“I don’t think I got any feedback. I think it was like, ‘No, not for you,’” he recalled, adding that it opened the door for him to appear in The White Lotus instead.
