ET breaks down the who’s who of Superman stars through the years on the big and small screen, as Clark Kent/Kal-El flies back into theaters on July 11 for James Gunn’s DC Universe. Christopher Reeve explains his romantic comedy approach to Superman for the 1978 film and its sequels. Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher chat with ET on the set of ‘Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman’ about their ’90s take on the iconic comic book character. Tom Welling shares how ‘Smallville’s origin story depicts Clark’s struggles in high school, years before he’ll don the cape and fight battles in Metropolis. ‘Superman Returns’ star Brandon Routh tells ET about his midwest connection to George Reeves, who was first to portray the superhero’s double life as a crimefighter and ‘Daily Planet’ reporter on the ’50s TV series, ‘Adventures of Superman.’ In Henry Cavill’s interviews for Zack Snyder’s film saga, the actor breaks down his workout routine for 2013’s ‘Man of Steel,’ what he (and co-star Ben Affleck) learned about wearing costumes by the time he filmed ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ and the teamwork message in ‘Justice League.’ Tyler Hoechlin explains the importance of his Superman’s out-of-this-world connection to Kara Danvers on ‘Supergirl,’ which kicked off nearly a decade of Tyler suiting up across ‘Arrow,’ ‘The Flash,’ ‘DC’s Legends of Tomorrow’ and ‘Superman & Lois.’ On the ‘Manly Things (Sort Of)’ podcast, David Corenswet admits he was excited about hitting the gym and bulking up to attain the character’s signature physique for the DCU’s first superman movie.
