who’s got what it takes to Don the
tights welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten actors who could play
Superman the world’s gonna start over
and this time we’re on top before we
begin we publish new content every day
so be sure to subscribe to our Channel
and ring the bell
to get notified about our latest videos
for this list we’re looking at actors
who seem like great potential candidates
to play the Man of Steel at some point
in the future whether due to looks build
charisma heroic charm or some
that must be number 10 sam claflin you
don’t like hearing a fight song in a few
Oh huh he might not be a household name
per se but after his turn is Finnick
Odair in the big screen adaptation of
the Hunger Games Claflin is certainly a
face that cinema goers will recognize
and appreciate and a handsome one at
that thankfully he’s more than just a
pretty mug and broad shoulders ladies
and gentlemen welcome to the 76th Hunger
Games despite being in a supporting role
he managed to give O’Dare depth and
nuance and one need look no further than
his performances and me before you or a
drift to see just how talented and
capable he is in summary he’s got the
looks the body and the talent so why not
after a few days I feel reborn number 9
Henry Golding we’ve been dating for
every year now and I think it’s about
time people met my beautiful girlfriend
have you seen crazy rich Asians yet in
addition to just being an all-around fun
romantic comedy drama that breaks new
ground in terms of Asian representation
in Western cinema it also introduced a
wider audience to painfully charming
heartthrob Henry Golding casting
Superman as an actor of mixed Malaysian
English descent would be a change but
let’s break that down a bit
Clark Kent is an extraterrestrial his
skin tone is only white because of the
era in which he was created Golding has
a sort of old-school charm about him and
a face that radiates hope well sounds
like Superman to us you really should
have told me that you know like the
principal um of Asia
that’s ridiculous much more Bihari
number 8 West Bentley while fans should
be open to seeing Superman’s looks
deviate from the comics when translated
to the big screen there is no denying
the appeal of an actor who appears as if
he stepped off the page in his 40s West
Bentley might be a little older than
some fans would like to see but
considering how much time zack snyder
spent exploring Superman’s origins in
Man of Steel and then further paving
Clark’s road to becoming the Superman we
know we’re ready to see an experienced
Superman on the big screen
seriously no more origin stories with
some gym time this classically handsome
and talented American actor could be the
matura Superman we need there’s no one
I’d sooner trust my life with number 7
Jon Hamm
I’m living like there’s no tomorrow
because there isn’t if you’re interested
in an older more mature Superman played
by an actor with a bit more star power
than Bentley
we’d like to submit Jon Hamm for your
consideration hams name has been thrown
around in connection with Batman more
than Superman in recent years and
considering the similarities between
Bruce Wayne and Don Draper we get it
however we think that ham equally has
what it takes to bring the Man of Steel
to life he would be Superman leader of
the Justice League Superman
the hero with an unflinching resolve an
unwavering moral compass of course
considering hams age we’d equally love
to see him play Superman in an
adaptation of Kingdom Come number six
Stephen straight I appreciate the offer
Academy haven’t heard of him don’t worry
you’re not alone but we suspect that’s
likely to change this actor is perhaps
best known for his work on the
groundbreaking sci-fi series the expanse
in which he plays Jim Holden an
executive officer aboard the spaceship
Canterbury straits acting ability speaks
for itself in the series but add to that
his kind and honest face as well as his
broad shoulders and then try to tell us
that you can’t see him saving a cat from
a tree in cleaning brainiacs clock
Strait is a star in the making who could
soar as Superman and help the character
do the same hey he looks good in glasses
too number 5 Richard Madden – Motagua
winter is coming for him Game of Thrones
is basically the biggest television show
in history why not mine the HBO series
as it’s coming to a close to repopulate
D age and revitalize DC and Warner
Brothers Cinematic Universe people are
talking about Kit Harington as a
potential future Batman wouldn’t it be
great to see him and his brother Robb
[Music]
richard madden proved he could play the
noble but slightly naive character to
perfection on Game of Thrones
and we’d love to see him drop the scowl
and dark northerner clothing for an
outfit that’s got a bit more colour to
it and a sense of honour bolstered by
hope and optimism and silver
you’re safe now he can’t hurt you number
four matthew goode comic book villain
since 2013 henry cavill has embodied the
role of Superman but before he nabbed
the part there were a number of
contenders in the race including fellow
englishmen matthew goode good has
already played the part of an iconic
comic book character for Warner Brothers
the hero turned villain Ozymandias in
Zack Snyder’s 2009 adaptation of
Watchmen though he’s never really broken
into North America’s a-list his
filmography is overflowing with powerful
performances in a variety of films and
television series including the crown on
Netflix it’s been a few years but goods
acting is even more on point and we
can’t help but want to eventually see
him pull on the tights and you’d be
absolutely right number three Michael B
Jordan this is me oh oh yeah Jordan
first appeared on our radar when he
appeared on the wire in 2002 in an
admittedly short-lived role but one that
made a huge impact and he moved on from
the lame Fantastic Four to bounce back
with another comic book movie role Erik
kill monger in Black Panther one of the
MC used very best villains to date I
don’t need a suit to kill you but we
still want to see Jordan play the hero
he could bring charisma authenticity and
hope to the role of Superman and given
the opportunity just maybe turn in one
of the great superhero performances of
our time I’ll make you number two
Armie Hammer great shot supposed to be a
warning shot let’s address the elephant
in the room
armie hammer got his shot at being a
big-screen blockbuster hero in 2013 and
it did not work out but what leading man
could have saved the Lone Ranger that
movie flopped long before they started
filming in the years since however
hammer has tackled a multitude of roles
in smaller films hammering home the
point that he is an undeniably talented
actor with a long and
fruitful career ahead of him with Lone
Ranger in his rearview we think it’s
time for him to get back in the hero
saddle this time in a role worthy of his
talents just look at that jawline it
screams Superman come out come out
wherever you are
number one Matt Bomer that’s the same
suit you’re wearing the last time he
arrested his is a name that’s been
thrown around in a Superman context for
years and it’s not just cuz he and Henry
Cavill look like twins separated at
Birth to be raised in different
countries bomber almost claimed the role
back before brandon ralph like just look
at him the hair the chin the eyes the
shoulders throw bummer in a tailor-made
Superman costume and he looked like he
flew right out of the comics more
importantly however he’s proven himself
to be a versatile actor capable of
tackling a wide variety of roles and
playing them with nuance and passion
bomber is the sort of actor who will
make you believe a man can fly I’m
always open to a good idea do you agree
