SUPERGIRL Finds Its Superman in EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!! and TEEN WOLF Star Tyler Hoechlin

Supergirl has found its Man of Steel. THR reports that Tyler Hoechlin (Teen Wolf) has been cast as Clark Kent/Superman in the superhero series, which will be moving from CBS to The CW for its second season. Fans won't have to wait long to see his first appearance: he'll make his debut in the season two premiere as he visits his cousin Kara 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."

That legacy includes actors like George Reeves, Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain, Brandon Routh, Tom Welling, and Henry Cavill, so Hoechlin is in rare company. The actor was one of the standout performers in Richard Linklater's Everybody Wants Some!! earlier this year, so it's great to see him take on such a high profile role. The actor (who looks pretty Clark Kent-ish in this picture) will appear in not only the first episode of season two, but the second episode as well (and probably that epic crossover between Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow). What do you think about the newest Man of Steel?
