Smallville revival update from Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum Dashes hopes for a return

It is a sweet and sour summer for Superman fan. While the steel man thrives on the big screen, the fans of Smallville I just received a tough update from the shows of the show that decreases the hopes already read for a restart.

Tom Welling recently appeared on Within you with Michael Rosenbaumhis third visit to the podcast and of course, the subject of Smallville He came. The duo, which also leads to Talkville Rewatch Podcast, did not cover things when it was to return to their iconic Clark Kent and Lex Luthor roles.

Rosenbaum has asked the question that fans have been asking for years: “It is too far -fetched that al [Gough] and miles [Millar] I will never say: “Let’s make an episode or a movie or something?” ”

Welling replied with a smile, but not the type that brings good news. “I’m smiling and saying that it will probably never happen,” he said. “But, how, I love the idea.”

That simple sentence crushed the heart of many who continued to hope. Above all because the fan base remains incredibly active, very tuning to Talkvilleattend themed conventions and even take part in Smallville Cruises. For years, Welling and Rosenbaum have launched the idea of a series of animated sequels, but Warner Bros. “The changing strategy under the leadership of James Gunn’s DCU seems to have set aside those dreams.

Even Rosenbaum, one of the noisiest champions for a restart, had to grant. “It simply does not seem to be our show the type of show that would have [one]”He admitted.

The last real moment of revival came in 2019 during the CW Crisis on infinite lands Crossover, where Welling is back as Clark Kent together Erica Durance’s Lois Lane. That short cameo revealed that Clark had given up his powers to grow a family was a close but suitable for his version of the character.

In truth, any Smallville The continuation would simply be a series of Superman and Warner Bros. already has that covered lane. The recent conclusion of Superman & Lois and the success of the launch of James Gunn Superman The film probably pushed the return of welling even more out of reach.

Rosenbaum has a small role in Gunn Superman Movies and the two are close friends. So, there is a possibility, however thin, that war or other Smallville The former students could make their way in the DCU in new ways. After all, Smallville it itself once welcomed with Superman icons such as Christopher Reeve AND Margot Kidder. David CorenswetThe new Superman also said Welling was “his superman” growing.

So, while a full -blown one Smallville The restart may never fly, the legacy of the series is alive and Vegeta and could still find a way to climb within the modern DC universe.
