Smallville star Michael Rosenbaum recently provided an update on the potential revival of the Superman TV show, Smallville. It has been almost 15 years since the show concluded its run on The CW, leaving fans wondering if a comeback is in the cards.
In an interview with Screen Rant, Rosenbaum, who portrayed Lex Luthor in the series, discussed the animated sequel show that he and Tom Welling were developing with the original creators. He emphasized that while it's a fantastic idea, the timing needs to be right for it to come to fruition.
Rosenbaum expressed enthusiasm for the project, highlighting the support of the show's creators and the willingness of the cast to reprise their roles. He mentioned that a potential Smallville movie could also be on the table if the circumstances align.
An animated sequel series of Smallville could offer advantages over a live-action revival, such as freedom from budget constraints and easier coordination of the cast for voice work. It could also explore the season 11 comic series, expanding the show's universe and potentially leading to multiple seasons.
While a live-action return of Smallville would be highly anticipated by fans, the likelihood of an animated continuation seems more feasible. This could serve as a valuable addition to DC's animation lineup, especially with the evolving landscape of DC Studios.
Smallville, based on the Superman Comic Book series, follows a young Clark Kent navigating life with superpowers. The show, created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, has left a lasting impact on superhero television.
As fans eagerly await the return of Smallville in some form, Rosenbaum continues to engage with audiences through his podcasts, Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum and Talk Ville Podcast, available on various platforms.
