HollywoodLife recently caught up with actress Emmanuelle Chriqui to promote tonight’s EMA Awards, and in doing so, they got her to talk a little bit about Superman & Lois and how it will be different from Smallville. She also revealed that she will likely be heading to Vancouver in mid-September for an October production start for the series.
Chriqui is the latest actor to play Lana Lang — a pantheon that includes Kristin Kreuk, Annette O’Toole, and Stacy Haiduk.
“This version of Superman & Lois is really reimagined, so it really is like a family drama with the backdrop of Superman and the whole superhero world,” she said. “The characters are so grounded and real and nuanced, so Superman, Lois, and Lana Lang are all adults now with children. It is a real departure from when they were younger in Smallville, and I think like anything it will be really about finding the truth of the character in whatever they are going through. That is where I will always definitely start, and good writing informs the rest.”

Obviously different from Smallville in that it's tights and flights as well as Clark, Lois, and Lana having children.
