10 Actors Who Should Replace Cavill As Superman

2. Noah Centineo

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.

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.
