 Tyler Hoechlin Debuts as Superman

Former Teen Wolf Tyler Hoechlin debuted as Superman on Monday. One thing is clear; he spent his time away from Beacon Hills becoming an even better actor. Hoechlin’s Man of Steel exudes a quiet confidence and his bumbling Clark Kent persona is just the right amount of Kansas klutz and “here ma’am let me get that door for you.” Perhaps it’s all the coverage of Teen Wolf conventions I’ve seen, but it just seemed right to see a room full of people lose their sh*t when Hoechlin’s Superman walks in. Women and men literally swoon in his presence while he remains polite and engaging and pretends not to notice how awestruck everyone is.

Hoechlin is a guest star on Supergirl. He’ll likely only appear in the two episodes in the first block of the season and there are currently no plans to expand his role. It very much remains Supergirl’s show but, judging by the reaction to the first episode, the network and producers picked the right man for the super-suit. “Tyler Hoechlin made his debut in the "Supergirl" Season 2 premiere and gives a surprisingly enjoyable performance as both Superman and Clark Kent. Considering how consistently moody (and dead) our big-screen movie Superman, Henry Cavill, has been as we get closer to a "Justice League" movie, Hoechlin's Superman is something we haven't seen in live-action since Dean Cain - a Superman smiling on the job, having fun and inspiring hope, not fear of being crushed by a building …” -Chicago Tribune

“Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's the best damn version of Superman to grace the screen in almost 20 years.” -Digital Spy

“In two words: NAILED IT. Seriously, Hoechlin’s Clark Kent is personable, mid-western and a bit aw-shucks without the campy clumsiness. He’s genuinely likable and someone you’d want to have a beer with. While his Superman is awe inspiring and someone to look up to. He’s powerful yet personable. He’s the Superman we grew up reading in the comics that no one has gotten 100% right yet. We’ll have to see how it continues, but they got it right in the premiere.” -Bleeding Cool

Supergirl airs on Mondays at 8PM on the CW network.

 Dylan O’Brien’s Trainer

We have a new interview with the man who helped buff up Dylan O’Brien for his current role in American Assassin.



<p class="MsoNormal">Dylan is training with martial arts expert and stunt man Roger Yuan. Yuan also trained He trained Jason Flemyng and Jennifer Lawrence for X Men: First Class, Keanu Reeves for 47 Ronin and Daniel Craig for Skyfall.

<p class="MsoNormal">Teen Wolf’s Final NYCC panel began with a look at the first episode of the show’s sixth and final season. The clip features the first eight minutes of the November 15 debut. It’s a dark and stormy night apparently as Liam and Hayden suffer car trouble. <p class="MsoNormal">With the show ending after 100 episodes, the panel (Tyler Posey, Jeff Davis, Holland Roden, Shelley Hennig, Melissa Ponzio, and Linden Ashby) was mostly in a mood to reminisce about their time in Beacon Hills.

<p class="MsoNormal">There were only a few hints at what’s to come this season. Jeff Davis said, “Certain characters may find their end in this season.” He's also looking to have more characters return saying that they've not finished all the scripts, so there's still time to insert returning cast members.

<p class="MsoNormal">The executive producer also says that he thought about doing a Teen Wolf spinoff a few years back. “We wanted to do as Eichen House as its own spinoff with Doctor Deaton (Seth Gilliam) as the head of Eichen gathering a supernatural team.”

<p class="MsoNormal">While some outlets are reporting that Davis teased a return of Tyler Hoechlin, what he actually said was that he plans to “talk to his agent again” and "who knows?" The last time they tried to get Hoechlin back for a single episode, negotiations fell apart over some of the details of the deal. It’s likely Davis was joking.

<p class="MsoNormal">Again, most of the panel is the cast remembering important moments of their Teen Wolf journeys. Teen Wolf News has been unable to locate full panel video but we did find several clips from a fan in the audience which cover most of the highlights as well as some press room interviews.

<h2 style="padding:0.2em 0.4em; margin:0 0 -20px 0; font-family:Century Gothic,serif; color:#778899; font-size:100%; font-weight:bold; text-align:left;"> Dylan O’Brien gives British Fans an Unforgettable Night

<p class="MsoNormal">It was your regular Friday evening for Teen Wolf fans Georgia and Tori, “I was heading home from work,” Georgia tells Teen Wolf News. “Me and Tori went for food and drinks before heading back.” They entered a train station lift in London heading down to the platform, but before the doors could close, they say Dylan O’Brien stepped in behind them. 17-year-old Tori recognized him first and gave Georgia (24) a whack on the arm. “I just started making conversation about anything to keep my mind off him,” explains Tori. “We literally just talked sh*t,” she says of their attempt to play it cool in front of one of their idols.

<p class="MsoNormal">Tori says she’s been a Dylan O’Brien fan since she first saw him on YouTube, even before Teen Wolf. Georgia came to the fandom in 2014 but quickly became a superfan. She’s met several members of the cast including Tyler Hoechlin, Ian Bohen and (her favorite Teen Wolf celeb meeting) Ryan Kelley. Neither had met Dylan before, and they were dying to say hello. At the same time, they also wanted to respect the star’s privacy and tried not to make him uncomfortable. “He definitely knew that we’d recognized him,” Tori says. “He was just shaking his head, and we were like, ‘Oh my God! He hates us. He thinks we’re following him.’”

<p class="MsoNormal">Things became even more uncomfortable as they reached the platform. The train was leaving, and the unlikely trio was left alone to wait for the next one. After a few awkward minutes, the women say they decided to approach. As Tori recalls, “We went up to him and said, ‘Hi. We’re big fans. We don’t want any pictures or anything, but we wanted to say how much we appreciate your work.’” They say Dylan seemed relieved, introduced himself and relaxed with them. "He thanked us for being so ‘chill,’" says Georgia.

<p class="MsoNormal">They made small talk until the train arrived and again, respectful of his privacy, Tori asked Dylan if she and Georgia should get on another car thinking he might want to be rid of them. “We were just like ‘Is it okay if we get on the same one?’ He was like, ‘Yeah, yeah cool.’” Dylan was heading to a bar in Soho, and they offered to show him where to get off the train closest to his destination. Their conversation on the train covered the new Teen Wolf trailer released on Thursday (Dylan apparently hadn’t seen it) and a bit about his accident on the set of The Death Cure (Dylan says it was far worse than reported).

<p class="MsoNormal">Fifteen minutes later, when the train reached their stop at Leicester Square, Dylan raced up the escalator. “It’s like a British thing to just stand there because the stairs are moving,” Tori explains. “He’s like power walking up the escalator,” says Georgia. “We’re like gasping behind him.” They pointed out that his workouts in preparation for American Assassin were visible, “We said, ‘That’s why you can run up the stairs.’ He was just laughing.”

<p class="MsoNormal">They planned to leave him there. They pointed out his destination and gave him some more directions and prepared to leave. “We were just standing outside the station, and we ended up just chatting again for another 20 minutes or whatever.” <p class="MsoNormal">​​ SML Of course, Teen Wolf came up again in the conversation. According to Georgia and Tori, Dylan says he has just one week left of shooting Teen Wolf. They say he explained, as TWN reported previously, that he shot most of his scenes for the first half of the season before leaving for the aborted Maze Runner shoot in Canada. Dylan still has to shoot episode 610 and the impression they got from the conversation is that his commitment to the show will be over after that. We’ve not been able to confirm any of what these fans said with anyone within the Teen Wolf production (they don’t like to talk about contracts and casting), but Georgia and Tori say he was very clear that he only has one week left on the show. “He said he only had one more week of filming so after American Assassin he’s going to go back to LA and film the last week,” Tori says.

<p class="MsoNormal">He also reportedly told the women he misses the lighter tone of the earlier Teen Wolf seasons and he explained that he’s stayed with the show for six seasons because he loves the Stiles character and stayed for the fans. He apparently had a few things to say about certain topics that might be considered unkind, but Tori and Georgia don’t want to betray his confidence by releasing those details. “There’s just some stuff he said to us that I don’t think he would appreciate us repeating, so we’ve kept a bit of the conversation to ourselves really.” <p class="MsoNormal">After almost 40 minutes with Dylan, there were hugs, some pictures and a video for one of Georgia’s friends before they parted ways. Tori says she raced home and woke up her mum to tell her even though it was 3 AM. She and Georgia then came together on Sunday and broadcast for 2 hours on Periscope. They recall all the details of their unique encounter for other fans. We’ve linked that video below.

<p class="MsoNormal">Of course, thanks to the internet, Georgia and Tori’s amazingly fun, life-changing night in London has meant the pair are now under attack by some of the people who claim to be Teen Wolf and Dylan O’Brien fans. They’re being attacked and taunted which is completely unfair but not unexpected. Factions of the Teen Wolf fandom can behave very badly at times and it’s always a bit of an embarrassment to the rest of us.
