Entertainment Weekly has posted the first photos of Tom Welling on the set of Lucifer Season 3, where he will be playing a new character named Marcus Pierce who, like his Smallville role, is interacting a lot with someone named Chloe.
You can see the new photos below; underneath that, some words from Welling himself about “playing Clark Kent again” as well as details about his character from EW.

“When Decker first meets Marcus Pierce, he is very much someone that rubs her the wrong way, because he’s very much a no-nonsense, calling-it-like-it-is guy, and he’s not much for social mores, if you will,” Executive Producer Joe Henderson told EW. “But what’s interesting is he also represents a lot of truth and justice and very much a lot of the things that draw Chloe to the side of law. So Pierce is very much the exact opposite of Lucifer, but also very similar, and so that duality is a big reason for them to start coming together.”
Welling also talks about whether or not he’d like to play Clark Kent again — at least when it comes to playing that sort of character.
“I definitely didn’t want to play Clark Kent again,” Tom Welling said. “The great thing about Clark is he didn’t know who he was and he didn’t know what he was supposed to do with what he had and his abilities. This character very much knows what he’s capable of and knows what he wants to do and knows how to do it, so as much fun as that is to play, it wasn’t necessarily because of Clark that I chose this character. It was so many more factors than just, ‘I don’t want play Clark again,’ but I’d be lying if I was saying that I do not enjoy playing something very different for sure.”
