Yahoo News There's "nothing in the future" for TV's Superman
He went down a storm as Superman in Supergirl's season two premiere – and now Tyler Hoechlin's back in those tights for this year's finale.
But, brace yourselves, there's "nothing [planned] in the future" for Hoechlin's version of the Man of Steel.
The actor told The Hollywood Reporter that he has no idea if he'll be back on Supergirl again next season.
"Even just jumping in doing the first two episodes, at that time it was just those two episodes," he explained. "I was very open and eager to go back up if that opportunity came up, and thankfully it did for the finale. I'm just taking it a day at a time at this point."
Of course, fans want more of Hoechlin – either on Supergirl or (do we dare to dream?) his own spin-off.
He's keen to reprise the part too, saying: "I'd love to see more about what his relationship is with Kara (Melissa Benoist) and the rest of her family. I think it could be fun to see exactly how much he's kept up with them over the years.
"And the Superman / Martian Manhunter (David Harewood) thing is such a fun story arc. And with Jimmy Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) too, there's still a lot to explore with him and James.
"Obviously they have the greatest history of anybody on the show, so... now that he's doing his thing, it would be interesting to see how Clark and Superman feel about what James has been up to [as the masked vigilante Guardian]."
Last year, after his first Supergirl appearance, a whopping 91% of Digital Spy readers told us they'd tune in to a Superman spin-off starring Hoechlin.
It's the will of the people – make it happen, telly gods!
Supergirl airs its season two finale tonight (Monday, May 22) at 8/7c on The CW in the US. The series airs Tuesdays at 8pm on Sky1 in the UK.
