In a recent interview with The Flickcast, Tom Welling talked about Clark Kent finally stepping up and becoming Superman on the upcoming final season of Smallville.

"Yeah, that's the plan. I don't know how they're going to do it, but I know that inevitably, that's where we get to."

"[The Superman costume] looks good," added Welling. "I wasn't there when they shot it on set. I was actually on another stage shooting something else. But I know what it looks like."

Welling also spoke about his thoughts on wearing the Superman suit both for himself and his character.

"I think it's a huge responsibility for Clark and for me," explained Welling. "And hopefully, we can get to a place where the fans feel as though we did everything that we could. We serviced the character the way that will make them all happy."

In regard to whether of not he could play Superman on the big screen, Welling replied, "I've always been open to the idea. It's not as simple as everyone would like to think."

"It's not as simple as me wanting to do it or not wanting to do it," he explained. "I know that a lot of people want to jump on me or jump on Warner Brothers. It's just not that simple. So there's a lot of elements that have to come together."

The tenth and final season of "Smallville" premieres Friday, September 24 at 8PM (EST) on The CW.
