Now, I've never watched "Smallville", but I wish I had. But I have seen him a few times in action and he does look good, so it would be quite cool to see him appear as the character on the BIG screen. The thing is, who ever Snyder chooses to play Superman in his film will probably get the part. That'll most likely happen. But Welling is also in the running for the role in Snyder's "The Man Of Steel".
The Superman cameo was in the original script for the "Green Lantern". The script was leaked online, so no one knows if it was changed or not. I guess we'll just have to wait and see, when the film comes out next year.
the only thing i know is that the first lantern draft did have a small cameo from superman in it and considering the fact that no one was cast of supes in the new man of steel at that time, Warner thought you might as well give tom welling one more shot at playing supes and give him a first shot at playing supes on the big screen.
ReplyDeletethough, there was a rumor that Warner were testing welling to see if he could pull it off on the big screen as they were planning to make him the official supes for zach snyders supes film, but then they did like 3/4 redrafts and supes got ditched from it :(
