Now would by all odds be the time for DC to adjudicate and go in a unlike counselling and find an thespian that proceed against the mold and it seems like that may be what they are trying to do . Here are the top contenders to occupy Cavill ’s office asSuperman .

Armie Hammer

Armie Hammer has been on DC ’s radiolocation for quite some time . When George Miller was planning on making a Justice League picture ( oh what could have been ) Hammer was supposed to play Batman .

Michael B. Jordan

Jordan has a wide range of sustenance , with evenDean Cain suppose that he would make a fantastic loony toons . With Jordan ’s prove talent and experience in the music genre , he would make a wondrous son of Krypton . Though he initially denied the rumors , the rooter accompaniment may have led to DC think him for the function .

Henry Golding

While there would doubtless be internet troll online complaining that he does n’t represent the stereotypical American figure of Superman , theCrazy Rich Asiansstar could definitely be thoroughgoing for the function . Golding fits the simulacrum of Superman and it is easy to picture him in the spandex and cape . It ’s meter for comic script movies to move past the stereotypical images that are associated with them . We have recently see more casting choices that add more diverseness to the genre , and Henry Golding would be a great way o do that .
