The Next Superman Is?
Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Film Flickers
With the success the Dark Knight had at the box office, it's only natural that they're going to come out with more superhero movies. Many MANY more.
The next talked about big superhero movie to be "reimagined" will be Warner Bros' Superman.
But the real question isn't when or if the movie will come out, it's who will play Clark Kent?
Several online fans have already been campaigning for actor Tom Welling (above left) for some time now.
Welling plays Superman on the TV show Smallville.
However, there's also a lot of support for homolicious British actor Henry Cavill (above right), from The Tudors.
Coincidentally, Cavill also auditioned for the role of Superman when they were casting for Superman Returns back in 2004.
He had also previously auditioned for the lead roles in Batman Begins and Casino Royale.
Maybe the Superman role will be his big break?
Also reportedly in the list of top contenders for the role is Canadian actor Victor Webster, who's been in various TV shows.
So whom do U think should play the new Superman?

Victor Webster is as manly as a man can get - he may be too hot to be Superman; no way to make Clark look dull
what happended to the guy that was in the newer superman with that bilemic actress?
TOM!

he looks good to be in his late 30's

TOM WELLING FO SHO!!!!!
tom welling is the quintessential superman.. i was disgisted that they approached anyone but him! you know he has size 16 feet? god, we love him at our house!
what happened to brandon???!!
hopefully whoever it is won't have that stupid lame voice that Christian Bale used when the mask was on. Totally ruined the movie for me!
Tom…
Henry Cavill was author Stephenie Myere's, of the " Twilight" saga, preferred actor to play edward. Unfortunately, by the time they got to the movie, Cavill was to old for the part; according to Meyer's website….if they went with him, i bet a whole bunch of the "twilight" groupies would be all over it
)
Jim Caviezel
Dude it should Totally be Tom welling, if they want it to be successful I think they should spin off of Smallville once the series ends.. OR they should just do a justice league movie, that would be Cool!
They need to r.kelly cuz he love's to fuck and pee on underage girls!
1.What's wrong with Brandon Routh?
2.Are they forcing people to get sick and tired of Superman? It's been exploited enough.
3. Tom Welling or that Canadian guy.
Please let it be Henry Cavill…pretty please with Henry on top???
justice league movie would be awesome?? arent they doing one i thought?? anyways tom welling is better left in the series he's doing great there why ruin a good thing
You know, if Henry Cavill had taken the part as Edward Cullen that was offered to him in the blockbuster-to-be Twilight, I bet that there wouldn't be any hesitation about giving him the role. As a Twilighter, if Cavill had been our Edward, and had later been cast as Superman, I would have been the first in line to see him in the role (and I'm sure there would have been quite the amount of people behind me). However, seeing as Cavill turned down, not one, but two roles (Edward and Carlisle both) that would have featured him in 'Twilight, I don't give two shits whether or not he's Superman. Much less do I want to rush out and see him. Poor judgement of Cavill's part, eh?
Tom Welling!
He's HOTT!
Re: torrrieB – Tom Welling was Born in April of 1977. He's 31.
Re: LadyBe – Actually, they OFFERED Henry the part of Edward. When he turned that down, they also offered to have him play Carlisle. Clearly Cavill passed up on that one, too. Bet he's kicking himself in the ass now, huh?
What was wrong with Brandon Roath?
Tom Welling is sooooo hot….!
Or Morrissey.
Do you really need to ask us this question?!!
Tom Welling of course!!..He's the only one who deserve this role!!
glad someone took notice - cavill's been on my list since the count of monte cristo.
Re: torrrieB – He's 31.
TOM WELLING!!!!!!!
If I had to choose out of those two, I would definitely choose Tom Welling. He's experienced in the role and he's amazingly good looking. But I don't see why Brandon Routh can't play Superman again. In my opinion, he did an excellent job as both Clark Kent and Superman. I don't see what the dilemma is.
Tom Welling For Sure!
TOM!!! he has been playing superman for 7 seasons! no one else can play this role the same!!
OMG WHY NOT BRING BACK BRANDON ROUTHE?????? HE WAS SOOO GOOD… HE EVEN HAD SOME TRAITS OF CHRISTOPHER REEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Victor Webster is HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT. Not sure he can pull off "geeky" Clark Kent but I would not mind seeing him shirtless..
TOM WITHOUT A DOUBT
Tom welling i've been watching smallville for yrs and to me he is superman and the fact that the original superman was on an episode it seems as if he wanted him to play in the movies,
Hmm. I thought they should have used Tom Welling for Superman Returns. But now I'm not sure why they aren't using Brandon Routh again. He did well enough. And he was hot. Why change it all the time? Christopher Reeve did four Superman movies.
CONFESSION - I HAD A LITTLE HENRY CAVILL CRUSH GOIN ON DURING THE TUDORS!
Surely Tom Welling would be the obvious choice?! The synergy would be HUGE! He's obviously mature enough to take on the role as an actor and he is incredibly cute…. (Think of the big bucks, the CW series fans would flock in droves!)
VICTOR WEBSTER!!!!!
Perez, put up a pic of VICTOR WEBSTER
Ooooobviously Tom motherfucker Welling, DUH!!! *drools* He IS Superman, the hotness himself…
PEWWW with those who want Brandon *whatshisface* Routh, he was sooooo NOT Superman!
Tom welling for sure! he plays a great Clark Kent on Smallville!. Fans of the show would come out in droves to see Tom finally in the Superman costume. BTW season 8 of Smallville Premieres September 18, 8pm on The CW
TOM WELLING WITH HIS BABY BLUES AND BABY EYES AND PERFECTLY UNPERFECT SMILE
Tom of course !!
TOM WELLING HE IS SOOOOO FUKIN SEXY!
a british superman?!?! no way!!! TOM WELLING SHOULD BE SUPERMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TOM WELLING is the best choice
I personally think Tom should do it, But I have very high doubts he would.
Don't know who the other british guy is. So I don't care…lol
What happened to dude who played him in Superman Begins? Brandon Routh? what's he too good to play it again? pllleaaassee!
And as for Victor, I hope he says NO because he was supose to play Superman in Superman Begins, but they though he was "Too Dark" (yes his skin color) to play Superman so the let him go and went and found Routh.
I really really hope that Vic is not concidering even doing it.

Henry Cavill is the most delish actor alongside J. Rhys
Henry Cavill is straight; he is not homosexual thank God.
tom welling! loveeee him, and an excellent actor.
even though the clark in the tv show smallville is an idiot
UGH! Henry Cavill is too amazing for the stupid superhero shit, tho the makers of James Bond were MORONS for not picking his hot ass to be the new Bond!!!!
These two look like twins!
Why wouldn't Brandon Routh play Superman again?? I hate when the actors are constantly replaced. I thought he played Superman very well.
Don't forget Counte of Monte Cristo!!! Yummieeee!!!!
my vote is tom welling….
Oh Henry!
No doubt about it. TOM WELLING ALL THE WAY.
Howeverrrr, Tom always says that he doesn't want to put on the cape and tights, and that's HIS choice. I'd love to see him in the whole Superman costume thing, but if it's not where he want's to go with his career, then I support him.
I'm a HUGE superman fan, but I was less than thrilled with the Superman returns movie.
Has it escaped attention that they JUST did a "new" Superman 2 years ago? Give me a break
what happened to the "new" superman 2 years ago
TOM WELLING!!!
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENRY CAVILL!!!!! NO DISCUSSION ABOUT IT!! HE IS THE MAN I LOOOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyway, if he doesnt make it think they should cast saMANtha Ronson, nobody more masculine than her HAHA.
Tom Welling or Henry Cavill, def.
if I had to choose between them it would be Tom Welling, but why is Brandon Routh not being asked, he was awesome as Superman
Re: Lkik – I don't think Henry's gay. He's apparently dating a girl from New Zealand.
Justin Baldoni from Everwood!!!! He'd be a perfect Superman and he's soooooo hot!!!
Henry Cavill is SuperFineO'licious
Henry Cavill!!!!! I fell in love with this hottie from the Tudors!
Tom Welling!!
I think all these comic book movies are going to try to emulate the Dark Knight success. Too bad they're never going to make it work out the way DK did. Didn't we read that the new TMNT movie is going to be more like DK? The last Superman movie was a big pile of dookie.
Dean Cain! Just kidding he's old now (still looks good) I'm just going through a Lois and Clark phase right now XD
ANOTHER Superman movie? OmyG! Come the fuck on! Hasn't there been enough of that shit already? Hmmm…I suppose it's logical to have another Superman movie seeing that no one has come out with any "original" movie ideas in forever. It will be a pleasure NOT to see this remake of a remake of a… 'drumroll' REMAKE.
Totally lame.

…I think Mr. Welling would be a good pick (ahem)
ummm… def Tom Welling, I'd feel bad that he did the series for however long and got screwed on the movie, let it be his turn finally… plus he totally looks like the hot farm boy
I didn't like Brandon at all!! I would say that either one of these delicious men would fit the role perfectly. Or have both starring in the next film.
Dustin (Tom Welling look alike in San Antonio, Texas) go get em' tiger!!!!
Tom Welling would be amazing.

Both are very yummy. How's about a Nubian Goddess sandwich, boys…???
I vote for Tom Welling. Besides, Superman is such an American icon I would be a little annoyed if a foreigner portrayed him. He's supposed to be have been a corn fed farm boy.
Christopher Reeve's corpse ! Special effects are so advanced these days. I mean, look at Ozzy Osborne, they still have his corpse performing !!!
tom welling all the way baby! he's scrumptious!!!
TOM WELLING… I knew Tom and his family growing up. He's got the heart to succeed in whatever he does. Just put on the tights… Make Becky help you… I miss you guys and hope all is well… Love from Janesville.
