Richard Madden

Richard Madden is a talented actor who possesses the perfect combination of charisma, acting ability, and physicality that would make him an ideal candidate to play the iconic superhero, Superman.

Madden has proven himself to be an accomplished actor, having won critical acclaim for his performances in both film and television. His portrayal of Robb Stark in Game of Thrones demonstrated his ability to play a complex and multi-faceted character, and his recent performances in Bodyguard and Rocketman have showcased his range as an actor.

It also should be stated he has the physicality required to convincingly portray Superman. He has a tall, athletic build and has demonstrated his ability to perform stunts and action sequences in various roles throughout his career. With the right training, he could easily embody the strength and power that are associated with the character.

He also has a natural charm and likability that would make him appealing to audiences in the role of Superman. He has the ability to convey a sense of goodness and righteousness that is a defining characteristic of the character.

Given that Madden will unlikely return to the MCU following his appearance in Eternals, Madden would make an excellent Superman and be a major steal for DC Studios. He has the acting ability, physicality, and charm required to convincingly portray the character and bring him to life on the big screen. Fans of the character and the franchise would undoubtedly embrace Madden in the role, and he would definitely bring his own unique interpretation to the beloved superhero.
