10 Actors Who Should Replace Cavill As Superman

2. Noah Centineo

Peter Kavinsky To All The Boys Ive Loved Before

Noah Centineo is breaking out in a big way thanks to Netflix’s To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, and Warner Bros can really benefit from that hype.

Centineo is still relatively unknown though, and there’d be something refreshing about him taking on the cape rather than a proper A-lister. Only 22-years-old, he’s someone who could really grow into the role and mould it into his own for years to come, in a similar vein to Chris Evans’ Captain America.

He’s got the sort of classic good looks you need for Superman - and it’s easy to imagine him absolutely rocking that hair curl - and is so easily likeable that even the most discerning audience members should quickly take to him.

After years of a darker, more serious Superman, he’s someone who could bring a slight air of youthful exuberance and lightness to the character, while he should also be able to balance that well with being a nerdy and earnest Clark Kent.

WhatCulture's former COO, veteran writer and editor.

Contributor

Josh has over 11 years of experience as a published writer, having worked nine of those years as a full-time content producer at WhatCulture. In that period he has created hundreds of articles, videos and podcast episodes for multiple WhatCulture channels, specialising in gaming, horror and film & TV. He now primarily works as a senior content producer and presenter on WhatCulture Gaming where he co-hosts the WhatCulture Gaming Podcast, a top 3 UK most listened to gaming podcast that he co-created in 2018. Over the years he has reviewed several high-profile gaming releases, covered industry events with on-site reporting, opined on breaking news, and even kicked off his interviewing career by chatting to childhood hero, Tommy Wiseau.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
