Former Teen Wolf star Tyler Hoechlin is gearing up to take on the role of Superman for the second season of The CW’s new DC show Supergirl, and the actor has been chatting to Collider about bringing the iconic Man of Steel to life during a promotional interview for his latest film Everybody Wants Some!!.
“I know it’s such an iconic character that means so much to a lot of people,” states Hoechlin. “The interesting thing to me is meeting people who are much older than me and saying, “Oh Superman has always been my hero” and shaking my hand. It’s such a weird position to be in because you’re not just assuming that this is a character for a younger generation, it’s for anyone who’s a fan of the character. It’s really exciting, I’m really looking forward to be putting our own spin on it, seeing where this character fits into this storyline, and this version of Superman. Like I said, I take it with great respect for the character and what it means to people so I’m excited to get to work on it and see what comes out of it.”
Hoechlin is one of several new additions to the cast of Supergirl’s second season alongside Floriana Lima as Maggie Sawyer and Lynda Carter as the President of the United States. Season two is set to premiere on October 10th.
