After James Gunn confirmed that he’s writing the next Superman story which will focus on a much younger Clark Kent, speculation has been running high as to which actor the Peacemaker director will cast as Cavill’s successor. Naturally, some fans already have a few names in mind but it looks like legendary ’80s singer Rick Astley is up for contention. Well, he thinks he is, at least.In a recent Twitter post, the iconic singer whose music is forever immortalized thanks to the “Rickroll” meme campaigned to become the next man to don the Superman suit. Posting an edited image of himself wearing the costume, Astley hilariously wrote: “It’s been years since I put this on but it still fits! Ready and waiting @JamesGunn”. Hmm. A Superman who’s never gonna give you up and never gonna let you down? Why not.
