The Flash’s Tom Cavanagh is not finished appearing in the Arrowverse (or Arrowverse-adjacent) shows, as he revealed this weekend at the FAN EXPO Philadelphia event on May 4 that he will be playing a role in the Superman & Lois series finale.

In the panel, Cavanagh explained how he preferred directing premieres or finales and had long grown a trust with showrunner Todd Helbing that he could always deliver, dating back to The Flash’s 100th episode which he directed. Since the Superman & Lois Season 4 finale is being directed by Gregory Smith, Cavanagh wasn’t able to do the finale this year, but instead, Helbing suggested that he appears in front of the camera.

“The finale for ‘Superman & Lois’ was taken up already, and so I said, ‘Well, I’m happy to not do it,’ which is when Todd was like ‘Well, would you play a role?’ And so that’s coming up, for those of you that watch ‘Superman & Lois’ — something that I’m happy to have done,” Cavanagh explained at the panel.

The question now, of course, is who will Tom Cavanagh be playing? Harrison Wells or a variation of him? Eobard Thawne? Or, could it be someone entirely new… after all, Superman & Lois is not set in the same part of the multiverse. Or, he said “a role” – could it be something behind the scenes, and that to assume it’s an acting role could be a jump to conclusions. Either way, chances are good we won’t find out for sure until Superman & Lois Season 4 starts airing this Fall on The CW. For now, though, it might be fun to speculate.

Superman & Lois has officially wrapped filming, and this Fall, those who have loved the show will get to see the fourth and final season on our TV screens. Elizabeth “Bitsie” Tulloch has been reflecting on her time as Lois and has guided fandom through her experience all throughout, and this morning, she posted about her gratitude to have been able to embody an icon like Lois. She also took the time to welcome and encourage Rachel Brosnahan who will be our next Lois Lane in James Gunn’s Superman movie which comes out in 2025.

Here’s what she wrote:

How lucky am I, to have been able to inhabit this woman’s bones, and brain, and heart, for the last 4 years.

Lois Lane has been an icon for as long as Superman has because of her fierceness, her work ethic, her determination, her playfulness, her commitment to finding the truth no matter the cost.

A post shared by Elizabeth Tulloch (@bitsietulloch)

We’re down to the final days of production for Superman & Lois and Elizabeth Tulloch has shared on her Instagram story that they have finished filming on the Cloverdale backlot that was built for the show in 2020. Interestingly, she also pointed out that the backlot will soon be used for a major project. No word on what show will be taking over the lot, but she says the show is “very prestigious.”

Next up, via “flashfacts4real” on Instagram who shared the photos from Canadagraphs, some shots from the finale filming! Several not-yet-announced returning faces who were no longer series regulars seem to be present. It’s very interesting that we see a fairly beat-up Superman in one shot; we’re also fascinated by the “25 Years of Steelworks Industries” shot which shows artwork of John Henry Irons (Wolé Parks) in a look and a suit very reminiscent of the comics, complete with the red cape and the “S.” The “25 years” makes us wonder… are we getting a flash-forward in the final episode? That could be quite interesting, especially if we get to see what happens to the Kent family in the decades to come. It may also provide a good bookend for the series premiere which explored their past.
