6 Actors That Could Potentially Replace Henry Cavill as Superman

No role lasts forever. HYPEBEAST [Features]( September 14, 2018 [6 Actors That Could Potentially Replace Henry Cavill as Superman]( No role lasts forever. [Henry Cavill Superman]( WARNER BROS/HYPEBEAST According to sources, it appears Henry Cavill may be on his way out as Superman due to a discussion between his team and Warner Bros.. Another factor is that the company is looking to rest its DC cinematic universe with Supergirl and a new direction. Although Henry might be out, a Supergirl film is predicated on the fact that Superman is lurking about somewhere in the film. As such, we thought of the top 6 actors we would like to see don the red cape and enter the fray as our new Man of Steel. Michael B. Jordan is having an exceptional year, as years of work towards his career has lent him to take the spotlight in this year’s Black Panther. His name has already been tossed around by Warner Bros. execs, according to reports, and for good reason. He’s charismatic no matter what role he’s planning, be it the villainous Killmonger, or the tough guy with a heart of gold Adonis in Creed. And it just may be time for a wholly-new Superman for a new generation. Henry Cavill did take to Instagram to post a cryptic video message. [Henry Cavill superman]( DREW PULIG/HYPEBEAST Jon Hamm has expressly told interviewers he wants to play Batman. He’s been a comic book nerd since the age of 7 and fancies himself one of the more knowledgeable actors interested in the superhero genre. Although it’s easy for Hamm to go full dark, he also has some comedic chops, as well as the physical build and square jaw to pull of Clark Kent. But it’s his knowledge of the character and source material that is the most attractive factor of him potentially playing Superman, or any hero, to be frank. Although The Dark Tower stunk, Idris Elba proved he could perform as leading man in a supernatural book adaptation. And even though he doesn’t look it, his older age could lend itself to tell other comic book stories that haven’t been adapted, like Mark Waid and Alex Ross’ Kingdom Come or a loose adaptation of Batman Beyond where he appears old. It could also work since Ben Affleck is also in talks to exit the role of Batman.
