Brandon Routh is no longer contracted to play 'Superman'.

The actor - who has portrayed journalist Clark Kent and his alter ego in two big screen outings - admits he has no idea about the future of the franchise but would love to play the role again.

He is quoted on website Think McFly Think as saying: "I do not know of anything. I'm sure that Warner Bros. is moving there, but everything is still uncertain. Really, I do not know anything.

My contract has expired. But if they call me, I'd go back to the character again without having to think twice.

The most recent 'Superman' movie, 2006's 'Superman Returns', was not as successful as predicted and Brandon reportedly thinks it was lacking in action scenes and has appealed to studio chiefs to give the superhero another chance, citing 'Batman Begins' as a way of reviving a flagging franchise.
