Walked away from the Superman role?


Why did he not continue playing superman, he was great at it.

Brandon did not walk away from the role. On the contrary, he was all set to star in the Superman Returns sequel. However, Warner Brothers wanted to reboot the Superman series after the lukewarm reception of audiences after Superman Returns. So, Henry Cavill was cast in Man of Steel when Zack Snyder took over the director's seat to replace Bryan Singer. Interestingly, Bryan Singer's planned sequel was also titled Man of Steel.

Shame as I thought Brandon made a great Superman.
