X-Men Star Nicholas Hoult Misses Comic Con After Knee Surgery
8 Oct
Summary
- Nicholas Hoult, 35, recovering from knee surgery, unable to attend NYCC panel
- Hoult was set to join co-stars James McAvoy and Evan Peters at the event
- Hoult delayed surgery to complete Superman press tour, now rehabbing injury
On October 8, 2025, actor Nicholas Hoult, 35, announced he will not be able to attend a panel at New York Comic Con on October 12, 2025 with co-stars James McAvoy and Evan Peters. Hoult revealed he had knee surgery a couple of weeks ago and is still recovering, unable to walk or fly.
The actor was looking forward to the event, where the trio was set to look back on their roles in the X-Men film series and share behind-the-scenes stories. However, Hoult's recent knee injury has forced him to miss the convention. He had previously delayed the surgery to complete the Superman press tour, but is now focused on rehabilitation.
New York Comic Con has wished Hoult a "speedy recovery" and is offering refunds to fans who purchased photo ops or autographs specifically to meet him at the event. The convention is hopeful Hoult will be able to join them in the near future once he has fully recovered.
