Will there be a Smallville sequel?
In a recent interview with Michael Rosenbaum , his former co-star and host of the Inside of You podcast (via Comic Book Movie ), Welling mentioned the possibility of bringing Smallville to the big screen.
The idea of a sequel film has generated a stir among fans who have been closely following news about Smallville’s potential return in various forms.
“I would love, I would love to hear the proposal.”
His words have ignited speculation and excitement among fans of the series, who have been eager to see more of the hero before he became Superman.
Although the series concluded in 2011, Smallville has remained relevant in pop culture and in the hearts of fans.
The series, which was notable for offering a unique perspective on the Superman mythos and exploring the life of Clark Kent in his youth, has left a lasting mark on the superhero genre on television.
However, since the end of Smallville , the series has seen some continuation in comics form, and there has been talk of a possible animated sequel.
Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum have been working on ideas for an animated sequel, keeping the Smallville flame alive for fans.
Despite the speculation and excitement, Welling also shared that no one involved with Smallville has contacted him to discuss new projects or the possibility of a movie. “No one called me since that show to work more,” Welling said during the interview.
The actor reflected on his success with the series, noting that although Smallville was one of the most successful shows in television history, he has not received offers for additional projects related to the series. He attributed this change to the evolution of time and the entertainment industry.
Although Smallville still has a dedicated fan base, the idea of a sequel film raises questions about its viability at the box office.
The Arrowverse’s Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event allowed fans to reunite with Clark Kent and Lois Lane, played by Erica Durance, years after the events of Smallville.
Michael Rosenbaum, who played Lex Luthor in the original series, declined to return as Lex in that crossover, suggesting that negotiations and financial expectations could be an obstacle to certain actors participating in future Smallville -related projects.
Despite the potential challenges, the possibility of a Smallville sequel film will reignite conversation around the series and spark debates among fans about whether they will see Tom Welling don the iconic Superman suit again.
Nostalgia for Smallville remains strong, and fans are eagerly awaiting any additional developments that could bring their favorite characters back to the big screen.
Ultimately, the idea of a Smallville sequel film raises exciting possibilities for lovers of the series and for those who have longed for more of the hero that was the young Clark Kent on his journey to becoming Superman.
Time will tell if this dream becomes a reality and if we will see Tom Welling reprise the role that catapulted him to fame in a new epic Superman cinematic adventure.
