Hoechlin also revealed his favorite part about the Superman suit — “that it flies,” he said.

As for the complexities of actually taking flight, “the character has always made it look very quick and seamless, but it’s a bit of a group effort the first time,” Hoechlin said. “It’s very much like putting on a wet suit … [Now] we got it down to a science.”

Even though his plays an iconic role that comes with a lot of pressure for all the actors who take it on, Hoechlin recalled that he really didn’t even have to audition, he just had a meeting with executive producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg.
