Since he burst on to the movie scene in the title role of Superman Returns in 2006, hunky Brandon Routh has had the attention of male lover fans.
But his connection to that fan base has only grown since then as he has played queer characters on an episode of Will & Grace, in the movie Zack and Miri Produce a Porno (his boyfriend is played by Justin Long and I loved them together) and on the short-lived CBS sitcom Partners.
‘I’ve been delighted and honored to play the characters that I’ve played and really truly wished I could have played Wyatt (on Partners) a lot longer,’ he tells xfinity.com in an interview posted Thursday (12 February).
On Partners, which lasted less than one season, he played the pleasant, slightly dim and very hunky live-in boyfriend of Michael Urie.
‘I had such fun with that character and working with the fabulously talented Michael Urie and David [Krumholtz] and Sophia [Bush] and Max [Mutchnick, co-creator] and David [Kohan, co-creator]
Interview: Brandon Routh reflects on Superman Returns and Scott Pilgrim‘s longevity
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s…Brandon Routh!
As one of very several actors to compete Superman on clip, and part of an even more exclusive club who have portrayed two heroes in the same universe, Brandon has thrilled audiences with Superman Returns, had adventures across time as The Atom in Legends of Tomorrow and the Arrowverse, and has shown us all the correct psychic power of a bass playing super vegan in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World!
As he soars into Melbourne for Metro Comic Con (taking place this coming weekend, July 13th and 14th, at the Melbourne Showgrounds), where he’ll take place in such events as guest panels and VIP fan functions, Brandon took time out to chat with our own Peter Gray about his second as the Guy of Steel, if he’s surprised at ScottPilgrim‘s longevity 14 years after the film’s release, and how feels as a straight player taking on gay roles.
Coming to conventions such as this, a role enjoy Superman would be one of the main draws, but do you spot yourself surprised by anyone talking to you about another role of yours?

When this sitcom got canceled in 2013 I quoted Nancy Kerrigan during that awful moment in her life: “Whhyyyyyyy?’
Partners was such a wonderful showcase for the brilliant Michael Urie and Brandon Routh who could not have been more adorable and nice as his boyfriend.
Most television sitcoms would have loved to have the ratings achieved by this exhibit which also starred David Krumholtz and Sophia Bush who were delightful in their roles.
But for CBS, 5.5 million viewers was not enough and demonstrate about a pair of best friends – one gay and one vertical – and it was canceled after one season.
The comedy aired on Monday nights between How I Met Your Mother and Two Broke Girls. It was from is from Will & Grace creators Max Mutchick and David Kohan.
Urie played the over-the-top gay character which is based on Mutchick while Krumholz played the unbent character based on Kohan and Bush played his fiance.

Super Boys' Club Comic Book Resource features its divide of explosive comic book rumor-mongering (Magneto fears for the animation of Scarlet Witch?!), but nothing can quite compare to the journalistic dynamite contained in Affluent Johnston's most recent column. Specifically, But then there was the Superman movie rumour. Still not totally resolved, still looking more likely by the minute, with massive impications all over the place, it had to be Rumour Of The Year. That Bryan Singer wanted to cast an actor who was in the closet, and who would declare themselves to be homosexual in the lead up to, or during the release of the film. So that it would have a meta-textual element, over secret identities, and also give young gay individuals a positive role model in their lives. And presumably, not craft stereotypical remarks about men dressed in tight colourful leotards. On, and then, Brandon Routh creature cast in the lead.
