Hoult performed in local theatre productions as a child. He made his screen debut at age six in the 1996 film "Intimate Relations" and appeared in several television programs. His breakthrough came with his role in the 2002 comedy-drama "About a Boy". He achieved wider recognition for his performance as Tony Stonem in the E4 teen series "Skins" (2007–2008).
His transition to adult roles began with the 2009 drama "A Single Man", for which he earned a BAFTA Rising Star Award nomination, and the fantasy film "Clash of the Titans" (2010). He played the mutant Hank McCoy / Beast in the 2011 superhero film "X-Men: First Class", a role he reprised in later installments of the film series. Hoult played the title role in the adventure film "Jack the Giant Slayer" (2013) and a zombie in the romantic comedy "Warm Bodies" (2013).

R. R. Tolkien in "Tolkien" (2019), and Peter III in the Hulu comedy-drama series "The Great" (2020–2023). His work on the latter earned him nominations for two Golden Globes and a Primetime Emmy Award. He has since starred in the black comedy "The Menu" (2022).
