Tyler Hoechlin Offers Honest Response To James Gunn Recasting Superman In The DC Universe

With Superman: Legacy set to be another reboot of the Man of Steel, Tyler Hoechlin gets honest about the prospects of seeing James Gunn go with a new actor as his character in the DC Universe. As DC embarks on a new creative vision, DC Studios is working on several new movies and shows that will be part of Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Universe. The most highly anticipated project of them all right now is Superman: Legacy, with Gunn directing the reboot in 2024.
Until the new Man of Steel takes it to the big screen, Superman & Lois is the current live-action project keeping the hero around, with Hoechlin portraying him on The CW. While Hoechlin will obviously not star in Superman: Legacy, the Arrowverse veteran had only kind words for the next actor taking on the role. At Superman Celebration (via Agrl4god80), Hoechlin got candid about DC Studios tapping someone else as the last son of Krypton. Not only does he believe in Gunn's direction, but Hoechlin stressed fans should keep an open mind to whoever gets tapped as Superman.

I am very confident that whoever comes in [for Superman: Legacy]...it's so funny, people jump so quickly to say 'That's not it, that's not it!' when they get somebody, but I would just encourage everybody to whoever the next person ends up being [cast as Superman] give them a chance because I'm sure they will be awesome. I think anyone who does this has a huge love for it and a real care for the character, even me, who didn't really grow up with the character - you know what Superman means to people, and I think it's just something that you don't mess with unless you really have a care for it. I'm excited to see whoever the next person is.
