Matt Bomer was the closest. But the whole list doesn't make any sense

[kapplesx]

I’m pretty much the only guy I know who thinks Michael H. Jordan would be better as Green Lantern

10: Henry Cavill
9: Henry Cavill
8: Henry Cavill
7: Henry Cavill
6: Henry Cavill
5: Henry Cavill
4: Henry Cavill
3: Henry Cavill
2: Henry Cavill
And
1: Henry Cavill

NOT Michael B. Jordan. Not that I'm against a black Superman, but you kinda have to follow the comics if you don't want angry fan descending on you. I would never want to see a white actor play Black Panther.

Here's my top ten list :
10-Henry Cavill
9-Henry Cavill
8-Henry Cavill
7-Henry Cavill
6-Henry Cavill
5-Henry Cavill
4-Henry Cavill
3-Henry Cavill
2-Henry Cavill
Honourable mention : Henry Cavill, Henry Cavill, Henry Cavill, Henry Cavill and Henry Cavill
1-Henry Cavill

I'm not sure what's worse...the list? Or the fact that you joined the "who is the best for the Henry Cavill replacement" train

[razibmohaimen]

Who is here after hearing the news that henry exits dc?

[HLLHOUNDFTW]

Cavill as Superman and Jon Hamm as Batman.

[Aaroncfx]

Henry Golding as asian Superman?
Michael B. Jordan as black Superman?
But no Danny Trejo?
Danny Trejo should be in this list and should be #1

[aska]

Tom welling will always be the real Clark Kent to me.

[captainblood]

matt bomer is the perfect shot for the next super man and i agree 100%

[markhenryabello]

I stopped the video at top 7 because, up to that point, NONE of your choices even came remotely close to a Superman! Watchmojo, you're really losing your touch.

[matthewrawlings]

I think I remember Matt Bomer voicing superman in an animated movie a few years ago...and if I remember correctly his preformance as the man of steel was pretty good.

[kevinrobinson]

Henry Golding? Michael B Jordan? They're both great actors but thats just ridiculous. It's not like this is a new franchise, it is welll established what Superman looks like. It's not a racist thing, but superman is white...thats that. If he isn't white then thats not superman. And Cark Kent is also already established to be white. If you want an Asian superhero or if you want a black superhero. then just make one, dont change already existing ones

[ghostkid]

Stop looking for a replacement Henry Cavhill isn't the problem it's the directors smh

[thewanderer]

Nobody can replace Henry cavil. Just like nobody can replace Hugh Jackman as wolverine or RDJ as iron man. It just wouldn't feel the same. Plus their cartoon versions are based off of those actor's looks

[ianmpena]

Im going to miss Henry Cavill as Superman because I was really pissed off when Warner Bros fire him

[thomasezzy]

Matt Bomer gets my pick. I think he voiced him once too but he'd be absolute perfection. Though he'd do a good Bruce Wayne too.

[kinyutaka]

No, Michael B Jordan should not play Superman.

But I love Bomer for the role.

[artheart]

Rewatching this... The idea of Richard Madden as superman and Kit Harrington as batman is tempting. We'll see
