Superman & Lois Teases The Coming Of Lex Luthor

Article arrow_drop_down

The CW has released a short teaser which they have called simply “Lex” and it gives us some glimpses at Michael Cudlitz playing Lex Luthor. Lex will be coming to Superman & Lois for the first time later this season.

“The thing with Luthor is, he’s such an iconic character that even people who aren’t familiar with comics know Lex Luthor, so for us, the challenge is how to put our own stamp on it,” Superman & Lois co-showrunner Brent Fletcher told KryptonSite back in March. “And I think that’s why we were able to get Luthor – we had to take that’s different in terms of what you’ve seen in live action.” This take also seems to be what drew Michael Cudlitz to the character that he fully understood, which felt like it would make him a great foil for the show’s Superman. It also made him an interesting fit chemistry-wise with the already established cast. “Honestly, we couldn’t be more excited about that, when the time comes to unleash him on the world.”

Check out the teaser below. New episodes of Superman & Lois air Tuesdays on The CW; Luthor will make his first appearance near the end of the third season.
