Tyler Hoechlin Talks About Being Supergirl’s Superman

Collider has an interview with Tyler Hoechlin coming up, and in a preview article posted today, some key quotes from the interview regarding his landing the Superman role on Supergirl were revealed.

“It’s an incredibly humbling and flattering thing to be given that opportunity,” Tyler said.

“I know it’s such an iconic character that means so much to a lot of people. The interesting thing to me is meeting people who are much older than me and saying, ‘Oh, Superman has always been my hero’ and shaking my hand, it’s such a weird position to be in because you’re not just assuming that this is a character for a younger generation, it’s for anyone who’s a fan of the character. It’s really exciting, I’m really looking forward to be putting our own spin on it, seeing where this character fits into this storyline, and this version of Superman. Like I said, I take it with great respect for the character and hat it means to people so I’m excited to get to work on it and see what comes out of it,” he continued.

You can read more quotes from Tyler at Collider, including some talk about when he was first approached for the role — after all, it’s their scoop and it wouldn’t be fair to repost all of them.
