Lex Luthor vs. Superman on Supergirl? “Not This Season,” Producers Say

Article arrow_drop_down

Jon Cryer made his Supergirl debut as Lex Luthor in the March 17 episode on Supergirl, and that may lead people to wonder: When will we see him fighting with Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman?

Fans may have to wait longer than expected to see such a thing happening, if ever.

“Not this season,” the show producers said at a recent Q&A hosted by The CW. Some assumed that we might perhaps see Hoechlin after Superman appeared in a recent trailer; that was actually older footage.

Would you like to see a Superman/Lex Luthor match-up on Supergirl? Or would you prefer the El family and Luthor interactions to remain between Kara and Lena? Leave some comments below!
