First Look At Tyler Hoechlin As Superman In Supergirl Season 2

Check out our first look at Tyler Hoechlin as Superman for Supergirl Season 2.

The image shows Tyler Hoechlin as the Man of Steel paired with his cousin, Kara Danvers, played by Melissa Benoist.

I know as of this past weekend’s Comic-Con that Tyler Hoechlin hadn’t tried on the Superman costume for Supergirl, so this may be more or less a promo shot. I guess it’s possible Hoechlin may have tested the Superman costume within the past few days and hence the picture.

Hoechlin also teased the Superman curl at the SDCC Supergirl panel for the crowd, which we don’t see in this pic as well.

Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman costume looks similar to the design of Supergirl’s, and we see that, similar to the Henry Cavill costume, it’s missing the classic red trunks.

Supergirl Season 2 airs starting in October on The CW.

Tyler Hoechlin Cast As Superman For Supergirl

And we have our new Superman.

THR reports that Teen Wolf‘s Tyler Hoechlin will play Superman and Clark Kent in the second season of Supergirl.

Details include Superman will appear in the first two episodes next season visiting his cousin in National City.

“Greg [Berlanti] and I have wanted to work with Tyler for ages, so this worked out perfectly because Tyler is Superman,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said. “We are so thrilled and humbled to add another amazing actor to the legacy of this iconic character.”

A couple of years ago, we were exclusively told Tyler Hoechlin was up to play Batman prior to Ben Affleck landing the role, and now we see he’s landed the Man of Steel gig.

Supergirl returns with Season 2 in the Fall airing Mondays at 8pm ET on The CW.
