Name an actor fit for playing an older Superman (40's - 50's)

So far, we've only seen Superman in his 20's and 30's in the movies, I think eventually audiences would be keen to see an older, more seasoned Superman like the one from Kingdom Come.

I think Jon Hamm is a good fit.

I'd want someone over 6' and who had a masculine face while also being able to pull off kind expressions. Having acted in action and drama would be a plus. As would being an established international celebrity. So my top pick would be Gerard Butler. Followed by Matthew McConaughey.

Henry Cavill when he's in his 40s or 50s.

@lawcol: Gerard Butler would've been great as the Marvel Hercules ten years ago.

@morgatu: I agree. I think he has the face, physique and presence to successfully play god-like characters. That's why I think he'd make a good older Superman.

Sean Connery

He is too old now but I always though Alec Baldwin looked exactly like Alex Ross Superman.

John Hamm would not be bad either.

Christian Bale

Josh Brolin

The correct answer

Yup. I've pictured him as Kingdom Come Superman

People want John Hamm to play every DC character lol

He should have played Lex Luthor

@thorthunder98: Too short

@green_tea: No way, he's 88 and can barely stand for long now. Even if he were young, he could never really do a proper American accent.

@TheGrat1: He'd be great.

John Hamm is a good option.

Danny Devito

John Hamm, Michael Fassbender, Hugh Jackman :D, Viggo Mortensen, Wentworth Miller and no idea.

Jon Hamm.

Timothy Olyphant
