It appears we’ll be seeing another live-action Jimmy Olsen before we get to Skyler Gisondo in the upcoming James Gunn Superman film, as we will also be seeing Superman’s pal in the fourth season of Superman & Lois!
TVLine is reporting that Douglas Smith (younger brother of frequent Superman & Lois director Gregory Smith) will be appearing on Superman & Lois Season 4 as the iconic Daily Planet photographer. TVLine notes that Jimmy is an extroverted 20-something “known for being the ‘life of the party’ around the office.” It’s also noted that despite being a colleague of Clark’s at work, Jimmy has been unable to get him out of his shell… which implies to us that this appearance must be in a flashback. Also: Jimmy does not know Clark’s super-secret, but is still determined to become his pal!

Douglas Smith’s previous TV credits include The Alienist, Big Little Lies, and Big Love. He joins a list of actors including Jack Larson, Marc McClure, Aaron Ashmore, Sam Huntington, Mehcad Brooks, Michael Landes, and Justin Whalin, all of whom have played the character in live-action before.
We’re not sure when we’ll be seeing Jimmy in Season 4, but we can tell you that the fourth season of Superman & Lois is expected to premiere this Fall on The CW.
