Smallville Tom Welling - Clark Kent/Superman : The Man Behind The Cape

[Webhead2006]

Who's the say he won't now. We have no clues what's his plans with the show over. Maybe he will do some tv spots/films, and probably try again with his production company for another show.

Digging the beard.

Very cool hasn't he done a few stuff like this before.

 

[elgaz]

Yeah he must be a golfer. Funny, Smallville was on TV (repeat) the other day and I was wondering to myself what Welling's been doing since it ended, haven't heard any movie or TV news concerning him.

 

[Micromind]

So, he is no longer interested in being a producer / director / actor ?

 

[elgaz]

Maybe he's just taking some time out, he worked crazy long hours on Smallville for 10 years

 

[SpideyVille]

Tom was always a private person, so its not shocking to see him off the radar.

However, my only concern is if he's having trouble finding work since Smallville ended and Hellcats was cancelled. I hope he's got something else lined up.

 

[Webhead2006]

Guys just because we haven't heard of him doing things doesn't mean he isn't developing or working on stuff. For all we know he could be working on things. Just isn't in any filming/producing stage.

Plus second when the show wrapped last april. Tom did mention he wanted to take some time off. To just relax and unwind. After working on the show for ten yrs, working 6 days a week, 16 hr days, for x amount of months per yr. So he probably taken the time since then for that. Spending time with his wife, family.

Also look at other actors who take a break from tv/film work. They could just step away from things for a yr or two and then come back and have like 5 or 6 different things going.

maybe Tom became a Doomsday Prepper lol

And the "Cast Tom Welling as the JLA Superman" articles start up again...

Our pick, truth be told, is kind of a predictable one: Tom Welling played Clark Kent for ten years on TV’s Smallville, and did it well. If Justice League does end up disconnected from Man of Steel, casting Welling may be the closest thing Warner Brothers has to an Avengers-style connection to their film.

Yes!!!! I love the endless rumors and speculation of things that are claimed to be true even though they never really happened or were said!

 

[elgaz]

And here we go again ................. lol

I'm a Welling fan, and was a supporter back in the day, but I think his time has passed tbh. Surely if they go down the JLA route they'll use Cavill in some manner, rather than having two completely different Supermen on big screens in the same era? And also, if they go with Welling, people may mistakenly assume we're getting Smallville the movie.

Tom Welling as Superman.

From the genius who brought you Daniel Radcliffe as Batman.

 

[Webhead2006]

As nice as tom in jl film would be. The smart business move is if and that is a big if with wb. That if jl does actually get off the ground in next few yrs. It should bbe cavill. More so if mos is a successful film.

Tom Welling and Christopher Reeve are my favorite actors who have played The Last Son of Krypton.

[Young Superman]

That's awesome.

 

[Pepsiguy2]

Has Tom done anything?

 

[Webhead2006]

That is pretty sweet deal for tom to make the list. As to your question pepsi I don't think I heard of him doing much aas of late besides earlier in summer did charity/celeb golf thing. As for worrk just cause we don't hear anything doesn't mean tom may not be doing anything. If he still doing things for the production company he formed he could be developing new shows. I would also love to see him some day do a guest spot in any shows, and maybe direct for some shows like spn. Plus also since the show wrapped last year it was said he wanted time off to relax/and spend time with family. Look at other actors/etc... that take time off for a bit between work and then come back. Just look at how much time and effort he put into sv for ten yrs. But again I would like to see him dab into more acting/directing.

 

[Young Superman]

Shout out to one of my favorite versions of The Last Son of Krypton. I will never understand why some people hate him so much.

 

[Young Superman]

In my opinion, Tom's physique looked it's best during Smallville, Season 4, Episode 8: "Spell". When Clark's chained up by the witches Welling's physique looks it's most "Supermanish" out of the whole series.

I'm crossing my fingers for a different Superman for JLA and for Tom to get the job. Especially now that WB won the lawsuit, maybe they'll return to the classic look on the JLA movie. It will be a good way to give the fans who aren't interested or don't relate to Cavill's Nolanized Superman, another choice. Tom's Superman JLA connection on the show may prove to be an advantage in him getting the gig. It would also give Warner a safety net on a movie that aside from the brand name is not having much credibility with the fans, with the whole going after Marvel without separate movies being released, no real strategy and even the rumors of them going back to the Miller cast which was never a popular choice, etc....
