Lex Luthor is coming for revenge on Superman & Lois.
EW can exclusively reveal that Michael Cudlitz (The Walking Dead,Southland) has been cast on The CW’s Superman drama as a new version of the iconic DC Comics supervillain in season 3.
According to the official character description, Cudlitz’s Lex Luthor is known to the world as the visionary billionaire behind LexCorp, but secretly, the criminal underworld knows who Lex truly is: a brutal psychopath who terrorizes anyone he crosses paths with. When Lex debuts this season, it’s been years since he dropped out of the public eye and he’s re-emerging hellbent on correcting a personal injustice by enacting revenge on the two people he feels have wronged him — Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) and Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch).
