Tom Welling On Reprising Superman On Supergirl: “No One Has Ever Actually Asked”

There was a quote from Smallvilles Tom Welling from the BuzzFeed interview with Jarett Wieselman that didn’t make the cut of the final article, that the author shared on Twitter — an answer to whether or not Tom has been approached to play Superman on Supergirl.

Here’s what Tom had to say:

“There’s people who would like it … there’s people who don’t like it, but I will tell you that no one has ever actually asked me to do it. So, I don’t know. It would be kind of odd. I don’t know who he is at that point. He would obviously be Superman …. “

Welling’s co-star Laura Vandervoort, who played Kara/Supergirl on Smallville, will be appearing on Supergirl soon, as Indigo.

What do you think? Would you like it, or dislike it if Tom showed up as Superman? Sound off below.

  • Tom Welling as Superman appearing on Supergirl would be the absolute best ever. Smallville ended horribly; Fans who waited for 10 years to see Tom don that costume got ripped off. Smallville fans would tune in to just to see Tom in the suit. The episode would definitely garner great ratings, getting to see Tom in the Superman costume is a dream for all Smallville fans.
