After Warner Bros unveiled Henry Cavill as its new Superman back in 2011, two years before Man of Steel hit theatres, reports emerged that he edged out Watchman and The Crown star Matthew Goode to secure the role.

Goode is said to have been the studio's back-up option, which means there's a possibility they'll give him another shot. Somebody clearly liked what they saw in the audition process, so why wouldn't they reconsider him if the role became vacant?

The Briton has the right credentials to play the Man of Steel, having previously impressed as Ozymandias in Watchmen. Obviously, Adrian Veidt and Supes are character with few similarities, but it's all DC Comics experience.

Place a pair of spectacles on him and Goode is a bona fide Clark Kent, and he could be an equally convincing Superman after some bulking up.
