15 Celebrities That Could Take Over Superman From Henry Cavill

There's been a lot of rumors about the chaos going on without DC Universe.

There's word that Ben Affleck will not be returning as Batman and Henry Cavill will not be returning as Superman. Fortunately, there are a lot of actors that would still be able to pull off playing Superman as well as draw people to the box office just like Henry Cavill did.

He had a stint in playing the human torch in the Fantastic Four and also played the villain in "Black Panther" making him a great acting choice with his experience in superhero movies.

I think we can all admit that he's got more than enough muscles to play the role of Superman.

Matt Bomer

He looks just like how everyone imagines Clark Kent to look and is already chiseled to perfection from his role in "Magic Mike."

Joe Manganiello

Since he has already been casted as Deathstroke in the DC Universe, this is a bit of a stretch but he was actually asked to screen test for Henry Cavill's job for the Man Of Steel in 2011.

As my boyfriend states, “He’s got that chiseled baby face that Superman is known for.”

Henry Golding

With the rise of his success from "Crazy Rich Asians," everyone's pushing towards his casting as the next Clark Kent for Asian representation.

He's a great actor and was already awesome as Bane in the DC universe.

He fits the boyish charm persona of Clark Kent.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
