Tom Welling Seeks Approval for Smallville Animated Series

Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum are eager to develop an animated sequel to 'Smallville,' but they are facing challenges in securing approval from Warner Bros., the studio that co-produced the original series. During an interview at Comic Con Stockholm, Welling expressed frustration over the lack of response from the studio, stating, 'We haven’t even gotten a response! It's the weirdest thing.' He emphasized that the project is primarily fan-driven and not expected to generate significant financial returns, which may be contributing to its low priority for Warner Bros. Despite the setbacks, Welling revealed that the cast is ready to return to voice their characters and that some animation work has already been completed. The duo remains hopeful, continuing to advocate for the project while acknowledging the complexities of the current landscape at Warner Bros. regarding DC properties.
