Superman & Lois’ Superboy Actor Reveals Whether He’d Join James Gunn’s DC Universe

Superman & Lois star Alex Garfin shares if he would be open to taking part in James Gunn’s DC Universe after playing Superboy for four seasons.

In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant to promote Superman & Lois season 4, Gunn’s DC Universe was brought up when Garfin was asked if he would have any interest in joining the new franchise if he was ever given the call. Garfin, who has been with Superman & Lois since the beginning, shared what kind of roles he would want to play after his time with Jordan Kent, adding the following:

Alex Garfin: If I got that call, it’d be a different conversation. Obviously, in reality versus in theory, the characters I really want to play is probably something a little closer to myself now, though. I got to play this very subdued, very complex [character,] which is beautiful, and I’m so grateful I got to play it, but I would love to do someone that’s a little more extroverted like myself and try to show off a bit of range here. I can’t speak about it, but I got really, really close to a project just like that. It didn’t work out, but it’s how it is. So that’s kind of what I’m going for now, is probably something more along the lines of actually something that James Gunn would write.

I know he’s a little bit more into making a comic book look like a comic book. He did that so brilliantly in his Suicide Squad, which is a rare time. I’ve seen a comic book movie. I know he did that with Guardians of the Galaxy. It has this fun to it. So if I got a call to try to do something similar and things were a little more James Gunn-y, I wouldn’t be opposed. But then again, a lot of actors out there, and I think I would love to give someone else an opportunity as well.
