Tom Welling played a classic version of Superman in the popular show Smallville that made a big splash for television viewers. Fans have long had a lot of desire for more from Welling who also starred in the series' final episode back in 2011. However, in an awesome interview from Comic Book Movie, Welling gives some fascinating news.
Fans were really wanting Welling to don the classic Superman suit for a new DC Universe film or television show. However, for years Welling wasn't interested in making Clark Kent's signature suit part of his current, exciting life, but now his perspective has completely changed!
Tom Welling explained what's changed his mind! It's actually very sweet and you can definitely see how a parent really does see their children's eyes. Welling was a big fan of Superman, playing him in this incredibly cool series, "Smallville" that followed Clark Kent, while he discovered he had superpowers! In one of his newest "Smallville" moments of inspiration, Welling is inspired by his own kids and how they look to see the world! There is something pretty special about this moment as he talks about having kids at home and having some special costumes from Halloween. There's also a lot of "Costume time" in the house. However, the one costume that is "missing" from his home, and one that his kids want, is a Superman suit.
In that one moment when he sees his children's love, the classic Superman, Welling really starts to think about his family and gives his reasons.
That's the kind of response that melts even the toughest heroes.
This is a perfect moment for Welling, where he gets to see the powerful role that the hero played in his children's hearts and the heart that these classic characters can inspire!
And that's a message everyone can appreciate.
For anyone that still remembers Smallville and its compelling journey. What an awesome opportunity for Welling to bring back those classic costumes and a big surprise that may really get fans excited! We may see this iconic hero coming to the screen or a new Superman adventure is a great reminder that every hero gets their second wind eventually. Welling certainly isn't giving up the title, but for all those who love to watch Superman, his history, and see the heart behind what makes this a timeless superhero! Let's hope there's some incredible Superman news coming soon!
