See The First Footage Of Supergirl’s Lex Luthor In Action

The March 17 episode of Supergirl introduces the great criminal mind — and Lena’s brother — Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer) to the series, and The CW put out an early release for a trailer for the episode which is titled “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”

This the first footage we have of Cryer’s Lex, and we must say we’re impressed, though talk of whether not a Super person bleeds will always provoke bad flashbacks.

You can see the trailer for “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” below; underneath, find some official promotional photos.

JON CRYER GUEST STARS AS ICONIC DC COMICS’ VILLAIN LEX LUTHOR –Secretly furloughed from prison due to failing health, Lex Luthor (guest star Jon Cryer) visits his sister, Lena (Katie McGrath), to seek her help finding a cure. Savvy as ever, Lena is suspicious of Lex’s motives but when she’s faced with a life and death situation, she must decide how she truly feels about her brother. Meanwhile, Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and J’onn (David Harewood) face off against Manchester Black (guest star David Ajala). James’ sister Kelly (guest star Azie Tesfai) comes to town. Tawnia Mckiernan directed the episode written by Derek Simon & Nicki Holcomb (#415). Original airdate 3/17/2019.
