There are reports that Warner Brothers and Henry Cavill have parted ways, which means that he will no longer be playing Superman in the film studio's extended DC comic universe. This has left the studio with the tricky proposition of finding themselves a new Superman.

However, I'm here to make this decision much easier for them because whilst they might be looking at other Hollywood actors I think they should look towards the WWE roster to cast the next Superman!

After all, we all know that WWE is the home to several of the world's best actors and actresses, such as The Miz who is the star of his own Hollywood film franchise in his spare time! Whilst I don't think the Miz is a good fit for this particular heroic role, there's no denying that there are some Superstars within the WWE that would be a good fit for Superman

So, lets take a look at the top five WWE Superstars who could replace Henry Cavill as the iconic superhero.


#5 John Cena

Lets get the obvious one out of the way. John Cena is one of the most popular and most successful WWE Superstars of all time, and a guaranteed future Hall of Famer. Basically there's a reason why people call him Super Cena!

Which is exactly why the sixteen-time WWE World Champion would be the perfect fit as the next Superman for Warner Brothers. But if you're not convinced, let me run down the positives.

He already has acting experience starring in 'Ferdinand' and 'Blockers'. He certainly looks the part, especially recently as his muscles are huger than ever! Finally, his six moves of doom will be enough to take down any super-villain. Lex Luthor better look out for that Lightning Fist!

#4 Roman Reigns

If John Cena is going to be seriously considered for the role of Superman, then surely you have to consider his protege, the guy that Cena passed the torch over to, the man who many consider to be the next version of Super Cena, Super Roman Reigns!

To make matters easier for Reigns, he even has his own sidekicks in the superhero team The Shield (DC and Warner Brothers would probably have to change the name due to Marvel having copyright of The Shield, but they could figure it out).

#3 Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson

Lets face it guys, is there anything the Rock could star in that wouldn't be amazing? He was great in 'Jumanji 2', he has revived the 'Fast and Furious' franchise, and he was electric in the Die Hard reboot 'Skyscraper'.

The 'Most Electrifying Man in Sports Entertainment' would arguably be the best Superman we've ever seen, because that's exactly what the Rock does. Plus, just imagine a sinister super villain being interrupted mid-villainous monologue by The Rock saying "It doesn't matter what you think!". Glorious!

#2 Johnny Gargano

Why Johnny Gargano? Because there's no-one in the WWE right now who is as much of a white hot good guy as Johnny Gargano was (we're going to ignore the last couple of weeks of Johnny Failure...).

And who better to play Superman than the person who literally everyone in the WWE Universe wants to see succeed and overcome that dastardly Tommaso Ciampa? In fact, Gargano already has an arch-nemesis Lex Luthor in Ciampa, so he has experience at this kind of thing!

#1 Braun Strowman

'The Monster Among Men' is basically already Superman

I'm going to be honest guys, given some of the things we've seen Strowman do in the last year or so, I can't be 100 percent sure that he actually isn't already Superman. Seriously, he's tipped a truck over, destroyed an entire scaffolding and lighting rig, murdered Kevin Owens multiple times. Okay, that last one isn't a very superhero thing to do, we'll scratch that off of the list.

All I'm saying is that 'The Monster Among Men' can already accomplish feats no ordinary man can, and already has a damsel in distress in his 'Team Little-Big' partner Alexa Bliss, so realistically he's the perfect fit!
