Tom Brittney Reveals He Accidentally Ripped Henry Cavill’s Superman Suit While Auditioning for James Gunn’s ‘Superman’

As a dedicated fan of Tom Brittney’s captivating performances, I find his journey to be nothing short of inspiring. His versatility and dedication, as evidenced by his ability to rip Henry Cavill’s Superman suit during an audition (oops!), is a testament to his passion for acting. Despite not landing the role of Superman this time, Tom’s future projects like “Back in Action” with Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz promise to be exciting.


When James Gunn and Peter Safran took over as co-heads of DC Studios, some fans speculated that Henry Cavill might reprise his Superman role in the upcoming DC universe. Regrettably, this didn’t materialize. Eventually, Cavill made it clear he wouldn’t come back to the part. At that point, Gunn had already laid plans for a new Superman film centered around a younger incarnation of the character. Unfortunately, Cavill’s portrayal didn’t align with this fresh direction.

There’s ongoing discussion about whether James Gunn bears responsibility for Henry Cavill no longer playing Superman. However, it’s David Corenswet who has been selected as the new Superman, with several other actors, such as Tom Brittney, having previously auditioned for the part before him.

Tom Brittney, a renowned actor from Britain, is primarily recognized for his role as Will Davenport in the television show “Grantchester,” which he began appearing in during 2017.

Tom’s performance as a young vicar in ‘Grantchester’ earned him a lot of fans. Prior to this, Tom had acted in various TV shows and movies such as ‘Outlander’ and ‘The Syndicate’, and he also has experience with theater performances. Apart from acting, Tom has displayed an inclination towards directing and producing.

Brittney was among the performers who tried out for the part of Superman. On a recent episode of the Hellish podcast, she disclosed that she had reached the final shortlist of three contenders. Moreover, she confessed to unintentionally tearing Henry Cavill’s Superman costume during her audition.

It was actually Henry Cavill’s Superman suit. It was an actual suit. I don’t know how much I’ve signed away. It was an insane process. I’ve met James Gunn before because I screen-tested for ‘Guardians of the Galaxy.’

Regarding the ripped suit, the actor shared his thoughts on the audition process:

It typically takes around thirty minutes to get ready for it – to be put into the outfit. And indeed, I believe I may have accidentally torn it…

Despite not securing the Superman part, Brittney is still set to appear in the action film “Back in Action,” which is scheduled for release in 2025, co-starring Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz.
